the tragedy of unintended victims in this war against terrorism should be investigated in order to determine the best manner of assisting them, and their claims should be dealt with if they are shown to be valid claims. Afghan's civilians who have lost family members or homes due to being caught in a crossfire during the hostilities between the coalition forces and the Taliban or al Qaeda fighters need our help. This legislation is a big step in the right direction. It is my strong desire to see that these people, the unintended victims of this war, are granted a priority consideration for reconstruction assistance under this legislation. This is the moral and the right thing to do, and I thank the gentleman for his efforts to make sure that we do the right thing.
