| Message | What about aid to our allies, or aid aimed at getting political concessions? I'm no namby pamby save-the-world type, but aid can be used to enhance our power, as part of our global strategy. |

| Message | Surely we as a country can spend our money on whatever worthy cause we deem necessary, not just disasters. With this bill comes the expensive and nightmarish task of defining what is a disaster worth our money. We continue to oppose it. |
