I am very pleased to yield 5 minutes to the distinguished gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Pallone), the chairman of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, a member of my class in the Congress.
MEPPA offers the one thing that has always stood between proven civil society initiatives and widespread change: the promise of sufficient peacebuilding resources.
Congress has the unique opportunity to support the Administration in creating a new strategy that takes a long-term approach.
I urge this Subcommittee to continue its longstanding support for critical people-to-people and peacebuilding programming.
