All of those sources make funding available for AIDS drugs. Members know very well that if we were actually short of money for protease inhibitors that would keep 6.000 people alive. we would come to the floor of the House and provide it in supplemental funds. Let me say to the gentleman. his amendment takes most of the money out of refugee resettlement. That program is an unfunded mandate -upon the States and local communities. We will ultimately have to spend money for refugees under general assistance payments. exactly what we should not do. Refugees come in to the United States as a result of Federal policies. We ask the States to share in the cost of assimilating them. and now we are going to cut the amount of money that is available to them. We have already cut the program.
