Congressman Engel, you mentioned Ebola, for example. Dallas, Texas, was the first American city to confront the challenge and the problem of Ebola. So I couldn't agree with you more. It should also be said that if you take away this aid and you have people becoming more desperate in nations around the world, they do become more susceptible to being employed by, for example, drug cartels, or being lured by terrorist organizations because these folks are desperate and need to survive. So these rogue alternatives become more attractive to them. So it is important to point out that a lot of this development and a lot of this aid also prevents some of these things from happening. I yield to the gentleman from New York.
