Cooperative Assistance for Relief Everywhere (CARE)
and Catholic Relief Services;
Whereas the government of Orissa did not declare an emer-
gency and refused offerings from the United States Em-
bassy in New Delhi to provide air lifts and emergency hu-
manitarian rations;
Whereas assistance from United Nations agencies has been
restricted to rehabilitation, which is largely unfounded;
Whereas additional assistance has been provided by the
United Kingdom, European Union, the Canadian Govern-
ment, and others and this combined assistance has not
been adequate to meet the needs of the people of Orissa;
Whereas a recent nutritional survey conducted in Orissa by
CARE found that 60 to 70 percent of children under five
years old in several of the cyclone-affected areas are mod-
erately to severely malnourished;
Whereas the CARE survey teams were unable to find people
over 60 years old because nearly all people in this age
range in the surveyed villages were killed in the storm or
its aftermath;
Whereas there is no comprehensive plan or funding for meet-
ing the needs of the cyclone survivors with respect to
housing reconstruction, agricultural support, medical
care, education, and nutrition supplementation; and
Whereas these factors make it likely that the rural poor of
Orissa will migrate to cities and overwhelm the already
limited social services available in this region: Now,
therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate

cies an additional $50 million a year for the next two
years, to mitigate the effects of the cyclones that have dev-
astated the poorest people in the second poorest State in
India.
