Like every appropriations bill. there are things in this conference report that I disagree with. There are programs which I. as do many here. believe need substantially more funding than we were able to provide. A good example is our migration and refugee programs. This conference report provides less than the President requested and far less than the Senate bill. The suffering of refugees and displaced people that we are able to relieve but will not because of the scant resources in this bill is shameful and inexcusable. We and other industrialized nations could and should do far more to help them. Another problem is H.IV/AIDS. although we were able to provide $268 million more than the President requested.
