EMAIL DETAILS

Hunter-


Forgive the second email of the day, but I wanted to share one more
important story that surfaced after we sent our GLOBAL GAB earlier
today.


This morning, the NY Times reported on a confidential questionnaire
that the Trump Transition Team sent to the State Department focused on
Africa. The document contained a number of questions like:
* "Why should we spend these funds on Africa when we are
suffering here in the U.S.?"
* "Is PEPFAR worth the massive investment when there are so
many security concerns in Africa?" (As you know, PEPFAR
- America's signature HIV/AIDS relief program
started by President Bush - has saved more than 11 million
lives.)
* "How does U.S. business compete with other nations in
Africa? Are we losing out to the Chinese?"

Some of these questions seem informational, but others are rather
concerning, given how investments in Africa directly impact our
national security and economic interests. And the tone on issues like
PEPFAR contradicts Secretary of State nominee Rex Tillerson's
endorsement of the program and his other statements in support of
foreign assistance during this past week's hearing.

We'll be continuing to not only watch but also engage on this
issue. Thanks for your ongoing support.
