H.R. 5522 also includes more than $2.5 billion for socalled "Economic Support Funds" that recipient countries often direct toward security budgets. This spending subsidizes armed conflict. encouraging violence rather than diplomacy around the world. At the same time. the legislation includes several provisions I would have loved to support as a standalone bill. For example. it provides $450 million for humanitarian relief efforts in Sudan. Significant financing is included for muchneeded disaster and famine assistance. temporary resettlement of refugees. development aid. and peacekeeping operations. I hope that this assistance will help ameliorate the consequences of the genocide in Darfur. Similarly.
