For the first time since Indonesian militarybacked militias laid waste to East Timor in the wake of its August 1999 independence referendum. we will provide FMF to Indonesia free of any conditions. And despite the Guatemalan governments noncompliance with military reform stipulated in the Peace Accords. we have removed IMET restrictions on that country as well. I regret that we were not able to fully fund the Presidents request for refugees and peacekeeping. The reduced allocation simply made it impossible. I am pleased that we were able to provide additional funding as part of the fiscal year 2005 supplemental. and I am optimistic we can increase funding for these accounts in conference.
