Given bipartisan support for several accounts. we were able to provide modest increases over last years enacted levels for the Child Survival and Health Programs Fund. Development Assistance. International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement. Migration and Refugee Assistance. and Nonproliferation. AntiTerrorism. Demining and Related Programs.
