Foreign aid bills are never perfect bills because they send increasingly scarce resources overseas. I would prefer to see this spending cut even further when we have so many unfulfilled needs at home. I still believe we can eliminate other foreign assistance programs while still meeting our international commitments and foreign policy interests. As a compromise. however. this bill succeeds in staying within nur budget limits. in a very tight budget year. and provides fundings for high priority programs such as aid to emerging democracies and humanitarian aid for refugees. I urge my colleagues to support the adoption of this bill.
