Speech #1060027711

Farmers need this funding nowbut putting unrequested addons in this bill could delay and threaten that aid. We must also take the responsible path and include funding for Hurricane Mitch. Hurricane Mitch left behind a catastrophe of tragic proportions. Thousands died and millions of people were displaced throughout Central America. This disaster calls for a major humanitarian response from the United States and this Congress has let this issue twist in the wind. That is irresponsible and unacceptable. We cant turn our backs on our troops. the Kosovar refugees. American farmers. or the victims of Hurricane Mitch. We must address these important issues and be responsible.
