Speech #990202678

I am aware of widely differing interpretations of a number of the provisions of the bill. Other provisions appear to be drafted in such a way as to have unintended consequences. Still other elements of the bill seem to be unenforcable. One of the few constructive provisions of the bill authorizes up to $25 million in each fiscal year for assistance to South Africa. It earmarks $4 million of these funds for refugee assistance and $21 million for community development projects. But. wait a minute. As drafted. this provision would seem to terminate the educational scholarship programs currently funded through the Foreign Assistance Act.
