They are not in the bill that is before this body. Then let us look at the numbers. The total spending in this bill. and this is the administration of foreign relations and refugee protectionit is not foreign aid per se although there are some provisions in itthe total spending in this bill is only 3.1 percent over fiscal year 1997. which is approximately the rate of inflation. There is no money in this bill to fund empirebuilding. no money for big new programs or even expansion of old ones. The bill is already substantially below the administrations budget request for fiscal year 1998. approximately $181 million below the administrations request.
