So there has been a terrific ambivalence and rivalry with respect to the Contra program down in Latin America and the assistance that we as the United States of America are willing to give those who are willing to fight for freedom. This is a sad context now because no one is listening to what is really at issue in Central America. We know what is at issue in Afghanistan. Mr. President. The public figures as reported by the media shows that we have given Afghanistan. $500 million in 1986 and $690 million in 1987 including $30 million for humanitarian aid and $60 million for refugee aid. Thus. the total of our aid in the last 2 years to Afghanistan is $1.2 billion. We have similarly been generous with the Philippines.
