Patrick Leahy actually said...

"I think USAID has to adapt to a rapidly changing world, but so do we in the Congress."

"I think when we do that we encourage dependency, the opposite of sustainable development."

"USAID, not counting the other trillions of dollars we spend, has spent over $17 billion since 2002 on development projects in Afghanistan, even though there are increasing problems with oversight."

"I think USAID's core purpose should be sustainable development, and I know from our conversations, you believe that, too."
