Lower population growth rates make it easier for developing nations to institute the types of free market reforms that offer them their best hope for longterm sustainable development. Lower population growth places fewer strains on these nations political institutions which means there is less of a risk to international stability and peace. Lower population growth also places less of a strain on the environment. Reduced environmental trauma. improved standards of living. and reduced immigration pressures benefit every single living person on the planet. This conference report endangers all of these potential benefits. For this reason I will oppose its adoption and I urge my colleagues to do likewise.
