Ileana Ros-Lehtinen: “In the long run, more democratic governments are also stable and reliable allies.”

I add my support for all the measures before us today.

I am proud to yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Conaway), the chairman of the Committee on Agriculture and the author of this measure.

I am proud to yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Poe), chairman of the Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation, and Trade.

This important bill would extend this longstanding bipartisan lifesaving program for another 5 years.
