Rick, very good piece. Thanks for highlighting the "hidden" costs of this continuing conflict. I wonder-of the entire WFP budget-what percentage is being spent as a result of the Syrian conflict? My guess-a very large and growing percentage...Thanks for your continued leadership. Randy

Subject: Our Op-Ed in yesterday's paper

Dear Members of the Board,
Please find attached our op-ed that ran in yesterday's edition of The Hill.  This piece follows the announcement last week that WFP will be cutting rations to Syrian refugees in Lebanon and Jordan due to severe funding shortfalls.  As discussed at the last Board Meeting, we are launching an initiative to foster US leadership and shape policy on this critical issue.
All the Best,
Rick
