Speaker. today. we consider the 1992 Horn of Africa Recovery and Food Security Act. This most worthy piece of legislation will send the message that the United States is prepared to coordinate with the rest of the world to help alleviate the pain and suffering in the region. For years. the world has watched the tragedy of famine. civil war. refugee and displaced persons unfold before our very eyes on the national news. For years individual nations. international organizations. private voluntary organizations and nongovernmental organizations have devoted millions of dollars. manpower and resources to alleviating the crises. In the interim. the end of the United StatesSoviet rivalry in the region has led to a sweeping movement toward democratization and the ouster of dictatorial regimes in Somalia and Ethiopia.
