gress that the United States Agency for International De-

cation and training programs on a regional basis.

countries, donor countries, and multilateral institu-
tions committed to the necessary reforms, policies, 
and practices that reduce extreme poverty in devel-
oping countries and by pursuing greater coordina-
tion with key allies and international partners; and 
(3) the President, acting through the Adminis-
trator of the United States Agency for International 
Development, and in consultation with the heads of 
other appropriate departments and agencies of the
296 
HR 2601 PCS 
Government of the United States, international or-

pluralistic state. 
(2) Religious and ethnic discrimination has 
driven half of Iraq’s indigenous Christians into dias-
pora since the 1960s and now threatens to create a 
mass exodus, thereby depriving Iraq of one of its 
oldest and most distinctive ethnic communities. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that— 
(1) all relevant departments and agencies of the 
Government of the United States should pay special 
attention to the welfare of ChaldoAssyrians and 
other indigenous Christians in Iraq in order to pre-
vent a mass exodus that would detrimentally affect 
the preservation of diversity in the Middle East and 
the promotion of general tolerance for others; and 
(2) the President, acting through the Adminis-
trator of the United States Agency for International
298

vented from returning to their homes.
