UNICEF has been part of the global effort to eradicate preventable diseases that affect children. like pertussis. polio. tetanus. diptheria and other menacing diseases. measles. and it seems to me that if we were to take that money away. we would see more children die from these preventable diseases. The UN is not perfect. the UN Childrens Fund is not perfect. but at least it gives us an opportunity to protect children and to tangibly stop mortality and morbidity among these victims of these diseases. Refugees. The UN High Commission of Refugees tells us that they have some 26 million people of interest to the UNHCR. We would no longer and much of our money again that is in this bill. we have $704 million for refugee assistance goes to the UNHCR that provides the camps and the safe havens. if my colleagues will. for those who are escaping tyranny or other devastating situations in their countries.
