The Foreign Aid Transparency and Accountability Act will be coming to a vote in the House either today or tomorrow. The Senate will vote on the bill before they adjourn. This legislation will establish uniform guidelines with measurable goals, performance metrics and monitoring and evaluation plans across all U.S. foreign assistance programs, and make detailed information regarding U.S. foreign assistance publicly available and regularly updated.
Please help me support this bill by calling your members of Congress and Senate to ask for support of HR 3159 and Senate 3310.
Here is what you can say:
To Members of Congress: The Foreign Aid Transparency and Accountability Act (HR 3159) introduced by Rep Ted Poe (R-TX) was cleared for the House suspension calendar and is scheduled for a vote this week. It is a sensible, bipartisan bill with broad support in both the House and Senate that will make a real impact on the success of U.S. development programs throughout the world. I am a voting constituent of Congressman (woman) X and would like to see this legislation supported.
To Members of the Senate: In the next week, the Senate will be voting on the Foreign Aid Transparency Accountability Act (S3310) co-sponsored by Senators John Kerry and Dick Lugar. It is a sensible, bipartisan bill with broad support in both the House and Senate that will make a real impact on the success of U.S. development programs. I am a voting constituent of Senator X and I ask that he/she will support this important legislation when it comes to a vote to give your colleague Senator Dick Lugar a fitting farewell.
