It has assisted in our antinarcotice efforts. and it has been helpful to U.S. antiterrorism efforts. And it is helpful right now in a very terrible and tragic situation in Kashmir. where one American is still being held hostage. There is certainly room for more cooperation and the kinds of nonmilitary assistance which would be allowed to resume under this proposalantiterrorism assistance. antinarootics assistance. immigration control training. environmental and population assistance. civil aviation cooperationwould not only build even greater cooperation. but they would directly benefit the effort and interests of the United States in a range of areas. Part of the amendment I will offer will do just that: Take the nonmilitary part of Senator BRoWNs amendment and allow it to go ahead. It is my understanding that these types of assistance were never envisioned to be cut off at the time that the Pressler amendment was adopted. so I see no harm and much good that could come by restoring these types of assistance programs to Pakistan.
