I would like to just sum up and say whether it is for environmental reasons or economic reasons. or population reasons in terms of avoiding the problem of environmental refugees that could result if we do not stop some of the degradation that is happening in our environment. the GEF is a very good investment. Mr. Chairman. our chairman. the gentleman from Alabama . under his leadership. the GEF was cut substantially. in recognition of the budget and fiscal realities that we had to face.
