This excellent bill contains many provisions I strongly support. I would particularly like to commend the gentleman from Wisconsin. chairman of the subcommittee. on his attention to the following matters of great concern to the Select Committee on Hunger: The Child Survival Fund is increased from $71 to $100 million in the bill. and strong report language supports an increase from $200 million to at least $225 million for child survival activities from all sources in the bill. Funding for refugee assistance is $45 million above the administrations request-$35 million more for the Migration and Refugee Assistance [MRA] Account and $10 million more for the Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance Fund [ERMA]. this should lead to as much as $35 million more for refugees overseas. AIDs vitamin A deficiency program is increased from $8 to $10 million. These programs prevent child blindness. sickness. and death.
