At a news conference ending their three-day visit here, the five representatives promised to press for renewal of U.S. funding for UNFPA. “We are here as the eyes and ears of our colleagues” in Congress, said Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-NY), leader of the delegation, “and we will support the efforts of UNFPA and other agencies in rebuilding Sri Lanka.” The Bush administration has refused for three years to spend funds Congress appropriated for UNFPA.
