Not all programs received complete or even adequate funding. I have been a consistent supporter of the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program. and I regret the cut of almost 40 percent that this program sustained. In addition. refugee assistance was cut by close to $90 million. at a time when the added influx of refugees has put an increased burden on State and local governments. Other important programs have also been cut or held to level funding at a time when they are shouldering increased demands. Despite these difficulties. this bill makes wise investments in our countrys future. and I strongly support its passage.
