The View From the State Department Good afternoon. I'm delighted to be with all of you today. Congratulations to each of you for your commitment and dedication to this great humanitarian and civic enterprise. I call you partners because partnership is at the heart of the U.S. refugee resettlement program. The amazing thing is, it works.
Partnership also is the genius of the program.
The solid base of support this linkage creates guarantees that the United States is, and will continue to be, the most hospitable place on earth for refugees. We can make it work even better. The study phase has been completed, and now we're moving toward development. Ultimately, it is the refugees themselves who benefit from these improvements. In addition to funding Junior Professional Officer positions in Africa, PRM has provided money and technical support to initiate a new resettlement project in the Middle East.
