Like my friend from Kansas City. my parents are there. I talked to them. and they said. "David. get this aid package through. but dont do it by continuing to add to the Federal deficit." I want to say this is a redherring we have heard from our friend. the gentleman from Illinois . on the Kurdish question which Mr. SLATTERY just raised. He claimed that those of us who voted to finance aid to Kurdish refugees were in fact adding to the deficit. It was not. That humanitarian aid was funded from the interest earned on the Desert Storm cooperation account. funded by our allies.
