January 16, 2002 Dear Mr President, The Australian Reproductive Health Alliance
notes that you have frozen the $34 million in funding for the UNFPA. We hope that you reconsider this action in
view of the detrimental effect it will have on the lives of women and children
around the world. Withholding such necessary funding from UNFPA will in fact
lead to an increase in the numbers of dangerous abortions being performed
around the world, which we am sure you do not intend through your actions. We urge you to reconsider your position and immediately
release the promised funds to UNFPA. Dianne Proctor Chief Executive Officer Australian Reproductive Health Alliance PO Box 3939 Weston 2611 Phone 61 2 6287 4422 Fax 61 2 6287 3532 Mobile 041 9497 150
