Rapid Responder Letter to your Senators:
Dear Sen. XXXXXX:
I am writing as a constituent to ask that two important issues are properly addressed in the FY19 foreign aid bill which will soon be under consideration by the Senate Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs.
As you know, since FY98, direct U.S. aid to Nagorno Karabakh has met life-altering humanitarian needs, including clean water for families and mine-clearance across Nagorno Karabakh farmlands, towns, and villages. The HALO Trust is close to declaring Nagorno Karabakh mine-free, but needs continued funds to complete its life-saving work.
In addition to de-mining, I urge you to support the operations of Nagorno Karabakh-based regional rehabilitation centers, like the Lady Cox Rehabilitation Center in Stepanakert, which serve children, adults, and seniors with physical and mental disabilities.
I ask you to ensure that the Subcommittee appropriates no less than $6,000,000 in direct aid for Nagorno Karabakh and includes the accompanying report language:
– The Committee recommends funding for Nagorno Karabakh-based regional rehabilitation centers to care for infants, children and adults with physical and cognitive disabilities.
– The Committee recommends continued funding for, and the geographic expansion of, Nagorno Karabakh demining, ordnance clearance, and mine-safety programs.
Thank you for your leadership and friendship.
Sincerely,
