As this Senator and others pre. dicted. those amendments doomed the bill to a Presidential vetoa much deserved Presidential veto. I might add. Now we are considering the legislation again. I have already outlined the compelling case for this bill in my statement of February 25. and I repeat that statement for the RECORD once again. Mr. President. I rise in support of S. 457. a bill providing $175 million in supplemental appropriations. $137.5 million for AIDs Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance [OFDA] and $37.5 million for refugee relief activities in Africa. It is hardly necessary to review In detail the tragic situation caused by Africas long drought. Twenty subSaharan countries have been severely affected.
