Smith Applauds Funds for Darfur, Disease Prevention, Other Int'l Priorities
U.S. Rep. Adam Smith (D-Wash.) applauded passage of H.R. 2764, the fiscal year 2008 State and Foreign Operations Appropriations bill. Smith voted for the bill, which passed the U.S. House of Representatives yesterday by a vote of 241 to 178.
"The House voted yesterday to live up to our moral obligations as the most powerful and prosperous nation on the planet. The funds in this bill will save lives, slow the spread of disease and help developing countries get on their feet. Further, these funds will aid our efforts to undercut drug traffickers and terrorists in Afghanistan," Smith said.
