On the recordJuly 12, 2000
I am just simply indicating that we are not asking to specifically earmark by line item, but in the allocation of the funds that were in the development assistance fund it was always understood that we would have a floor of $700 million to $800 million. It is my understanding that, with the way the funds are being allocated now, the floor has dropped. So I have not asked for a specific line item for DFA. I am simply asking that in the development fund, that funds for Africa that will be allocated and that we attempt to stay at least where we were in the past. That is all I am requesting.
