At the same time that we are cutting foreign aid we are attempting to refocus it to be more responsive to the dramatic changes in the world. Mr. President. the disintegration of the Soviet Union has given us an opportunity to start addressing some of our most pressing needs. like building markets for United States exports. or supporting global environmental programs. or curbing the population explosion. or helping refugees in Africa. the former Yugoslavia. and Eastern Europe. or stopping the spread of AIDS. I received letters from many Senators. both sides of this aisle. asking me to increase these programs. Not many wrote asking me to increase military aid above the House level.
