“I might just briefly respond, Mr. Chairman, and remind the gentleman from Massachusetts that during my tenure as chairman of this committee we have created the child survival account, which this year contains more than $800 million to do precisely what the gentleman from Massachusetts wants. We have no problem with the destination that the gentleman seeks. It is like standing in this room and saying we want to get to that corner. The gentleman thinks maybe we ought to go to the left, which is the gentleman's party's view. I think that maybe we should go to the right. But we are trying to do precisely the same thing, and that is what the child survival account does, it provides for starving children, it provides for the sick, it provides educational opportunities in these poor countries. It does it directly, primarily through private volunteer organizations, not going through some dictator or corrupt president. It does it precisely the right way.”
