Continuing this colloquy, just so you have the numbers correct here as we see them here: in 2004, total appropriations for international AIDS programs was $2.4 billion. In 2005 it was $2.9 billion; and in 2006, the current year that we are funding, it is $3.2 billion. That gives you a total of $8.5 billion which means that we have $6.5 billion left to do in the next 2 years in order to reach the $15 billion. That would be slightly less, actually, than $3 billion a year to meet that. So I do believe we are on target. Mr. Chairman, I yield to the gentlewoman from New York (Mrs. Lowey).

Do you believe that there are reforms that can be made within the U.S. Government, USAID in particular, to help capture and effectively utilize the enthusiasm from these communities?
I want to commend both the chairman and the ranking member and this committee for keeping the committee focused on the importance of U.S. global leadership, effective partnership, and good development practices.
