Madam President, first, let me say I am joining in with the action just taken by the Senate, led by Senator Coons, who has shown an extraordinary gift of understanding of the importance of the African continent and the people that need to be part of its future. I wholeheartedly support the effort which he initiated on the floor this afternoon. And I believe that Dr. Muyangwa is going to be a valuable asset to AID and to Africa, and I thank him for his leadership in bringing this issue before us today. ____________________
