Our bill. which has been introduced In the Senate by Senators BINGAMAN and SIMPSON. would make the goal of population stabilization. along with the Improvement in health of women and children. a primary purpose of U.S. foreign policy. We are Introducing this legislation because we believe deeply that the United States must take determined action to address what is without a doubt the most urgent crisis facing humanity: the rapid rate of growth of the human population and Its dire consequences for the environment. for food supplies. for over crowding. for Immigration pressures. for political stability. and for our own national security. Last week. according to the Population Reference Bureau. the worlds population surpassed the 5.5 billion mark. and it is growing by almost 100 million people every yearby 260.000 every 24 hours. Future prospects. moreover. are even more staggering.
