Mr. Chair, I rise in support of my amendment to reduce funding for the Global Environment Facility fund from $139 million to $129 million, or by $10 million. We do well what we measure. That is what my father told me growing up. We do well what we measure. Unfortunately, many of the organizations and much of the money that is spent by America are not measured well. We need to force people to prioritize and to account for the funds that they spend. This is a small, little cut. Americans are struggling every day as they face high gas prices, inflation due to the reckless spending of this administration, and the radical climate change agenda of the Biden administration. My amendment claws back just a little bit of those hard-earned tax dollars going to fund climate change initiatives outside of our borders. Mr. Chair, I encourage my colleagues to vote in support of my amendment. Remember, we do well what we measure. Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
