Thanks. Hi. Im diane eikenberry. Im a senior attorney, and i work with detained children in o. R. Custody in virginia and maryland.

First maria, i want to thank you so much for the wonderful work that the young center does. Thanks. Ive had the pleasure of working with one of your child advocates out of the office in harlingen.

There certainly was a convergence of interest between the United States and iran, visavis the taliban, and that was a missed opportunity by the United States, and now we have isis which is a mutual adversary.
Since azerbaijans independence, in 1991, u. S. Aid has spent 55 million on programs to make the country more democratic. The country remains more undemocratic and is becoming more and more authoritarian. The u. S. Government presses on with multimilliondollars programs in azerbaijan.

That would enable key Society Organizations to better respond to the president s vision and calls for more meaningful and state Civil Society partnership fulfilling the governments commitments to various International Human rights instruments, end quote. The idea of u. S. Taxpayer dollars going to implement the supposed democratic vision of azerbaijans authoritarian president reinforces the notion that foreign aid is a scam. Ill give you an example from kazakhstan. This is a typical program. Youll see this in every part of the world. Im a eurasia specialist. My examples from the region, usaid worked with the 1. 5 million to increase t
