That is why this bill asks the President to certify that the Iraqis are doing their part in meeting critical benchmarks. In addition. I am pleased the conference report includes nearly $200 million in increased funding for Afghanistan. $80.3 million for Jordan. $45 million for Liberia. $769 million for Lebanon. much needed assistance for Sudan and Somalia. increased funding for disaster and refugee aid to Iraq. increased accountability through funding expanded mandates for the special Inspector General and the State and USAID IG operations. While this bill provides most of the funding requested by the President. it puts in place safeguards and oversight to stop waste. fraud and abuse with U.S. taxpayer dollars in Iraq. I urge my colleagues to support this bill.
