I am not opposed to considering earmarks or recommendations on spending priorities. but I would urge each Member to carefully consider the impact of beginning to further carve up this small pie. In addition to this broad category of economic aid. we have funded programs in the Middle East. Central Europe. and the NISregions I think most view as central to our security interests. We have fully funded the Camp David countries and included. once again. an earmark for resettling refugees in Israel. The bill provides $335 million to support programs in Central Europe and $705 million for the New Independent States. Within the NIS account I have earmarked the following: $17.1 million for the FBI for law enforcement training and investigations.
