I believe I can speak to our countrys need to restore world stability after years of following misguided and shortsighted foreign policy. This bill provides $34.2 billion overall for foreign assistance and State Department operations. with muchneeded emphasis placed on international AIDS programs. childrens health care. basic education programs and targeted peacekeeping operations. By increasing funds for critical global health. basic education. refugee and disaster assistance programs. we are heightening world stability and rebuilding our image abroad as a nation builder. not divider. In an effort to shift away from a Middle East foreign policy that focused a little too narrowly on Iraq. we are now reaching out to neighboring Mediterranean countries that need our attention and assistance. The escalating situation in Iraq has forced thousands. indeed millions. of refugees to flee into neighboring countries. Jordan being one of the most heavily affected. During a trip to the region almost 2 weeks ago.
