Thus. I endorse wholeheartedly efforts to provide additional funding for such schools. I am concerned. however. that moneys for this laudable purpose not be taken from the refugee and migration account. As the Reagan administration has recognized. those funds are needed at this time to assist Pakistan in meeting the needs of over 2million refugees from the conflict in Afghanistan. Unlike many other nations. the Pakistanis have opened their doors and their hearts to the Afghan refugees. despite the potential destabilizing effects of such a large influx of refugees in a border area. Moreover. the crisis in Pakistan might become much worse if the United States fails to follow through with its promise to assist Pakistan in this humanitarian effort and Pakistan is forced to divert resources it needs for its own people and security to taking care of refugees instead.
