The objective of the legislation Senators MURRAY and SNOWE and I are introducing today is to keep the United States focused on the commitments it made at the World Summit on Children. The bill would shift funds within the existing foreign assistance budget to meet the needs of childrenwithout increasing overall foreign assistance. Specifically. it calls for increased allocations of funds for child survival. basic education. Vitamin A and other micronutrients. UNICEF. AIDS prevention and care. refugee assistance. family planning. and tuberculosis prevention and treatment. This is not just a foreign assistance bill. We can and must do more in our own country to improve the health and welfare of children at risk.
