It has been long. and it has been hard. but we are glad that it is coming to conclusion. because this bill does strike a delicate balance on a number of very controversial issues. I thank them for their leadership. This bill includes. Mr. Speaker. the full $3 billion aid package for Israel. the critical $80 million for refugee resettlement assistance. Although the development assistance account is lower than the administration requested. it does include a critical $15 million increase for international microcredit programs. Microcredit is a critical tool in the fight to eradicate poverty worldwide. and it enjoys bipartisan support in the Congress and this administration.
