"Hearing On Central America and The Alliance For Prosperity: Identifying U.S. Priorities and Assessing Progress"

Notes below:

00:16:30
*       Several senators have expressed interest in holding this hearing because of $700 million is earmarked to be provided for Central America in the next two fiscal years.
*       Want to secure stability and the rule of law
*       Here to ensure that this will be successful.
00:32:30
*       I hope that over the course of questioning we'll understand how this will work with the alliance for prosperity.
01:04:00
*       What percentage of the budget is allocated for security
o       40% economic prosperity.
o       30%
*       30% of our dollars are going to security. Columbia president cared about this and was dynamic about it. What do the other countries think?
o       I think the countries understand that security comes first.
*       It is very difficult to have economic growth when there is tremendous violence
o       El Salvador crime has been falling in specific, targeted areas.
*       We're having this hearing because Menendez and Kaine pushed for oversight

*       What happens in Central America is very important to the United States, so it's important we ensure results because interdependence exists here.
