First. it cuts 2 percent. in addition to cuts made by the committee of $1.4 billion below the appropriation request. Second. this amendment takes away from the administration really the power to decide where the cuts are going to be made and keeps it in the control of Congress and that is what we want to do. We have been giving too much power to the administration and what the Conte amendment does is to exempt from the cut the Middle East. agricultural rural development and nutrition. development assistance. health development assistance. migration and refugee assistance. emergency refugee and migration assistance. and assistance to African refugees. These are important items to keep under our control. so I urge you to support the Conte amendment.
