I shall be very brief since yesterday I raised the possibility of introducing this amendment. The purpose is to find a parity among nations for foreign aid. I certainly support the United States doing its lair share in terms of development assistance. security assistance. international disaster assistance. refugee assistance. international narcotics control assistance. and so forth. We are a great country and we do have a great responsibility. But the wealth of nations is shifting and increasingly we are finding that members of the oilrich OPEC countries. our allies in Europe. our ally Japan. and others in the world. have acquired the means to contribute more. and it is the feeling of many citizens in the United States that we are contributing an unfairly high share.
