On the recordMay 6, 1999
I, too, want to join my distinguished chairman of the Subcommittee on Foreign Operations, Export Financing and Related Programs in commending the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Smith) for his leadership on this issue. As I said last night, I support his amendment. We can all agree to the need for those camps from the standpoint of sanitation and hygiene and meeting the needs of these refugees who have been dislocated or are grieving or malnourished and the rest. I would hope that the distinguished chairman of the Subcommittee on Defense, I understand there is about $100 million unprogramed there that can be used for this purpose, and I would support the gentleman's appeal to the conference committee with that. I want to again acknowledge the leadership of the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Smith). To be in his company and that of the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Hall), two leaders on child survival issues throughout the world, is indeed an honor; and I once again commend them.
