Maybe we should just make it clear, 'You are out of the program.' I think 'business as usual' is a bad lesson to send.

I look forward to hearing your report on accomplishments, shortfalls, and lessons learned for future compacts.

I question the size and scope of MCC compacts.

For many years, I have championed family planning, which saves the lives of mothers and children by educating women on healthy pregnancies.

I would like to pursue further what we are doing in Haiti, because the feedback I am getting is that it is moving much too slowly.

The MCC model holds great potential to bring transformative change, reduce poverty, and support sustainable economic development.

I think Dr. Shah has brought such strong leadership and demanded more accountability to USAID.

I think knowing who does what and how we can coordinate better in this time of shrinking resources is absolutely essential.

I cannot fathom why basic education is not one of the key development priorities in the budget.

I am very concerned that budget cuts will imperil the Agency's efforts to regain the expertise to be the premier development agency in the world.

USAID makes a profound statement about what our country stands for.
