CPR Meets with House Government Reform and Oversight Committee

On March 1, CPR met with the Subcommittee on National Security and Foreign Affairs, which is chaired by Congressman Tierney (D-MA).  CPR met with the Sub-Committee’s Counsel Scott Lindsay and Staff Director Andrew Wright and expressed its strong interest in working with the subcommittee on all issues related to South Asia.  The staffers stated that Chairman Tierney was focused on Pakistan and how the State Department and USAID were going to allocate the foreign assistance money.  CPR urged the Subcommittee to identify ways to include the Pakistani American community in its work and to hold the Government of Pakistan (and the U.S. Government) accountable for the foreign assistance it is receiving.
