Leader CANTOR and his staff. particularly Robert Story Karem. who helped us navigate a similar crisis for the Iraq program last fall. Our whip. STENY HOYER. and his policy members. Daniel Silverberg and Tom Mahr. were there. At times when there is a lot going on. there is a lot of controversy. there are competing interests. but they kept their eye on the ball to move this forward. We have got some critical people in the outside world. the NGOs. particularly the Iraqi Refugee Assistance Project. and their gurus. Becca Heller and Katie Reisner. who helped provide the details. the push. And I have to admit that there is a champion in my office. my legislative director.
