HAMDT 308 (99th)

An amendment striking language that requires a report include an analysis of the feasibility of distributing as much U.S. economic assistance to the Philippines as possible through the Catholic Church, private and voluntary organizations and cooperatives and substitutes language that the report should look at the feasibility for private distribution of U.S. food and development assistance. It adds that at least 25 percent of the aid distributed to the Philippines by through private and voluntary organizations, cooperatives, and other nongovernmental entities. This amount may be less if the Director of AID reports to Congress that the lesser amount is the best that can be done.
