The committee reconvened at 9:15 a.m. to consider more amendments, including one from Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.) that would limit assistance to Pakistan, a response to congressional complaints that the nation failed to fully aid the U.S. in finding Osama bin Laden. However, committee members rejected this amendment 5-39.

Last night, the committee accepted two amendments from Rep. Ted Poe (R-Texas). One would require the State Department to publicly list all foreign aid programs, money spent on these programs and other information. Duncan co-sponsored that amendment.

Poe’s other amendment would require an evaluation of the effectiveness of these foreign aid programs.

The committee also approved an amendment from Duncan requiring the government to make public a list of companies and other entities that receive U.S. foreign aid.

The committee accepted language from House Foreign Affairs Committee ranking member Howard Berman (D-Calif.) that would set goals for foreign aid programs, such as ending poverty and supporting human rights and democracy.

On Thursday morning, committee members also considered a Berman amendment to strike the so-called Mexico City language in the bill, which prohibits aid to groups that promote or perform abortions overseas. But they rejected his proposal.

After committee passage, the bill would still need to be approved by the entire House.
