Excerpt from Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs Appropriations for Fiscal Year 1994, Vol. 2: Hearings Before a Subcommittee of the Committee on Appropriations, United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session, on H. R. 2295 On the other hand, we also have the question of what happens again in countries like Somalia. We were able to reach out with disaster relief after the fact, but very little was done before the fact to keep the factions from warring or to stem the starvation. Questions could be raised in Sudan and elsewhere in the same sense. I am interested in those preliminary steps that have to be taken to avoid the disasters. Using Somalia as an example, pic tures of starving children are shown on television or the news papers and who of us as parents or as human beings can look at that and not be moved. When the President says, here's a way to get food in there, stop the killing, stop the fighting, we have to support it. I think Presi dent Bush deserves enormous credit for moving quickly on that. I sat in some of those meetings with him when he was deciding and I know how passionately he felt about it. The American people also strongly supported that. The question is how do you build the support for the steps that should be taken years before to insure that the conditions causing famine and ing and everything else does not happen later on.
