Afghanistan is at serious risk of a political breakdown in 2016.
this is one of those committees that really does have a record of bipartisanship, and really nonpartisanship.
As a business guy, I appreciate that.
I want to put this in perspective, if I could.
Senator Kaine's comments are exactly correct.
I was really troubled by the state of the situation, particularly, if I am correct, that we have spent some $4 billion in Haiti.
But what are we putting in place to make sure that money gets through to the people that really need it?
their security is paramount, as Senator Isakson said, Senator Kaine has said.
We obviously want to be good stewards of taxpayer money, and that is why we had this hearing.
The most humbling thing I have had is to meet men and women in uniform.
What I am trying to determine is, of the $1.7 billion, how big is that relative to the $22.5 billion for bilateral aid?
