“of the $150 million, I have a request to spend $1.5 million for the Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago. It is one of the top five pediatric hospitals not only in the country, but the world. In fact, that hospital saved my life when I was 16 years old. I was there for 8 weeks. 1.5, it equals to 1 percent, and I am struggling to find the money for construction for a new facility to keep it on the forefront of children's facilities in pediatric care; yet we are going to spend $150 million. So I am going to suggest tomorrow to the Children's Memorial Hospital in the city of Chicago at the corner of Lincoln, Halsted, and Fullerton that they may want to set up a sister program with the Basra Children's Hospital. They want 1.5 million? See if they can set up a sister program and borrow out of $150 million for the new Basra children's hospital. I would also like to draw people's attention in this $21 billion that there is also money for Afghanistan. There is $40 million to build 275 schools and train 10,000 more teachers in Afghanistan.”
