Speech #1050036155

The administration is now trying to resolve very tough problems with our allies that have resulted because of the package of HelmsBurton. The Cuba provisions in this bill I think move us in the wrong direction. They will only further irritate relations with our closest friends and trading partners at a very delicate time. Finally. let me indicate that though the funding levels are generally satisfactory. there are still problems in earmarks. The migration and refugee assistance account was funded at $53 million above the administrations request. That comes at the expense of foreign assistance funding. We may overfund one category today. but important foreign assistance programs will pay the price in another bill later.
