The international community has pledged assistance. but if past practice is any indicator. pledges often do not turn into actual contributions. This additional $200 million in humanitarian and reconstruction aid would demonstrate the commitment of the United States to help the innocent victims on both sides of this conflict. The funds should be used by USAIDs Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance and the State Departments Bureau of Population. Refugees and Migration. which have already depleted much of their available funds and without this amendment will be forced to rob funds that are needed to respond to other humanitarian disastersin Darfur. the Horn of Africa. and elsewhere. I thank the Senator from Michigan for offering this amendment and urge its adoption.
