I also share the concern of Senator LEAHY over the balance in this bill between military and development assistance. Passage of this bill will mean that military assistance has increased 79 percent since fiscal year 1981. while development assistance increased only 6 percent. The problems in most of the world today are not military problems. They are problems of poverty. disease. hunger. unemployment. And these problems are not susceptible to military solutions. Unless we address these problems. suffering and instability in much of the world will continue. waves of immigrants to this country will continue. and the absence of adequate markets for U.S. goods abroad will continue. Mr. President. with considerable regularity.
