> Just returned from our Aspen congressional conference in Arusha, Tanzania.  Had 21 Members with us including 13 Republicans and 8 Dems; first visit with more Rs than Ds.  Among members were FredUpton, Greg Walden, Charlie Dent, Karen Bass, Roger Wicker, Tom Carper, Steve Womack, Tom Udall, Jason Chaffetz, Sam Farr, Susan Brooks, John Garamendi etal.  Largely Gates Foundation funded.  We discussed smallholder agriculture, health, women's rights, and general development issues.  Carrie Radelet of the Peace Corps traveled with us and we visited a Peace Corps site.  We had scholars from the U.S. (Steve Radelet, Amb Johnnie Carson, Rob Paarlberg, former Ambassador and Congressman Mark Green) and several men and women African scholars.  Site visits to ag, health and energy related projects.  All in all, a successful visit opening the eyes to a lot of members about the promise, and challenges, of Africa.  We talked about nutrition and school feeding, but did not focus specifically on hunger but mostly on ways to improve agricultural production and profitability for smallholder farmers.  DG
