I fully agree. While the overall transition to cash from commodities will likely increase efficiencies (and is consistent with the past funding/provisions in the Senate-passed Farm Bill), it does not take into consideration the political realities. I agree that a meeting with Raj could be very helpful. I have been in regular contact with other political officials at USAID - and know they are struggling to determine how best to proceed.

A friend of mine who works for Raj. Raj wanted to know what our position is on Title II reform. I told him that we would like to meet with Raj to discuss...that we think there is a compromise approach...but bottom line- a straight move from comodities to cash didnt make sense to us particularly in this environment.
