There is some controversy surrounding this program. and I wanted to take this opportunity to discuss why. in my view. these voluntary family planning programs are so crucial and may be the most important of all our foreign assistance activities. U.S. population growth has stabilized. The United States is not facing social and political problems as a result of population growth. The population problem in this country is due to immigration rather than population growtha fact that we will soon grapple with when the House considers the immigration bill later this spring. Unfortunately. most countries of the world. and especially the developing nations. are in a very different and much more difficult position. The world will grow by 84 million people this year.
