I am certainly pleased. when we look at the budget that has been brought forward and passed now. for our foreign development assistance. I am pleased that we have the support for Israel included in this package and the economic aid for Ukraine. As to refugee assistance. one of the great humanitarian crises of our time. funds are in here for the United States to work with our international partners to provide for refugee assistance. There are many anticorruption initiatives. There is $2.5 billion in this budget for good governance and to advance human rights globallya high priority of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. working with Senator CORKER. The two of us are working very closely together to make it clear that we wont tolerate corruption and that we will continue to work as countries develop good governance and respect for human rights. As I said earlier. on the overall plan there are a couple issues in this budget that I am very disappointed about. One is the Visa Waiver Program. the discriminatory provisions against dual citizens. I dont think it has anything to do with safety. I dont think we are safer because we are going to make dual citizens go through a separate process.
