In these days of tight budgets I believe that it would be imprudent to authorize funds which could significantly duplicate existing capabilities. Rather. we should focus such efforts on qualified existing institutions with substantial capabilities in this area. Whether policy debate in our country is focusing on the impact of immigration. narcotics trafficking. human rights. foreign aid. trade. or our efforts to promote peace and democracy in Latin America and the Caribbean. the availability of online and uptodate information is vital. I hope that my colleagues will support this amendment to provide for such services. I believe that my amendment. and specifically its provisions mandating full competition and eliminating the possibility of significantly duplicative services. is the best way to balance our need for these services with budgetary considerations.
