On the recordJune 26, 2000
Mr. Chairman, the Asia Foundation makes an important contribution to the development of democracy and economic reform in countries like Indonesia, China, other places in that part of the world where vital U.S. national interests are at stake. We froze funding at the current year level so we are already almost $2 million below what was requested of us. Any further cuts would inflict serious damage to this program and to U.S. interests and objectives all over Asia. For that reason, I urge that we reject this amendment.
