“I also want to point out to our colleagues, Mr. Chairman, as we move to vote on the bill in another couple of motions, that the United States, with all this talk about our foreign aid, the United States gives .2 percent of our GDP to overseas development assistance.

I think in certain ways we are abdicating our responsibilities to promoting freedom and raising the living standard of people throughout the world.”
