“I happen to be in great sympathy with the basic thrust of these amendments. They are basically trying to make these programs which address disease more efficiently delivered and have better oversight with more transparency. They are legitimate proposals. I hope as we participate in this voting sequence we can work with the Senator and come to an agreement on most of these amendments because I do believe the thrust of them is the correct direction to go, which is to demand transparency and to make sure the money we are spending gets where it is supposed to go and make sure, especially in the area of the malaria and HIV battles which we have in Africa, that we are using these funds efficiently and that the right medicines are being delivered. I appreciate the Senator's proposals.”
