Unless farmers receive seeds. tools. and animals to replace those lost. they cannot plant and there will be no harvest regardless of the rains. Unless affected countries receive assistance to improve water sources and food production and storage. they will remain vulnerable. There is no question in my mind that the $175 million in emergency relief. recovery. and refugee assistance is urgently needed and can be well spent during this fiscal year. It is my understanding that AIDs Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance already has some $98 million in proposals for immediate emergency relief from private voluntary agencies. international relief organizations. and U.S. missions waiting fundingand no funds left from those appropriated for fiscal year 1985. Given the fact that the crisis has not subsided and is expected to continue well through autumn. if not beyond. we can certainly anticipate substantial additions !equests through the end of this fiscal year.
