As I said at the hearing. there are millions of people who may never know Bono by name or have the privilege of listening to his music. but their lives are better because of the profound impact his advocacy has had on the worlds efforts to combat poverty. At the hearing. Bono testified about what he called the three extremes: extreme ideology. extreme poverty. and extreme climate. His testimony was powerful. It complemented the opinion piece he wrote that was published in the New York Times on the morning of the hearing in which he highlighted the importance of investing in international development in a way that empowers local populations. including refugees and other displaced persons. Mr. President. I ask unanimous consent to have printed in the RECORD a copy of Bonos article entitled "Time to Think Bigger About the Refugee Crisis."
