                         Congressional Findings

    Section 101 of title I of H.R. 2253, as enacted into permanent law 
by section 101(i) of Pub. L. 99-190, provided that: ``The Congress 
hereby finds that--
        ``(1) Sub-Saharan Africa faces a virtually unprecedented 
    condition of human misery which threatens the lives of one hundred 
    and fifty million people;
        ``(2) only the combined effort of both the African nations 
    themselves and international aid donors can overcome the obstacles 
    to economic development which have given rise to conditions of 
    famine, declining food production, infant mortality, 
    desertification, and deteriorating infrastructure;
        ``(3) international relief efforts have helped to address the 
    immediate crisis of starvation in Africa and the United States has 
    made important contributions to this effort both bilaterally and 
    through contributions to the multilateral development institutions;
        ``(4) there is a serious shortfall in the external capital 
    resources necessary to support the policy reform efforts of the 
    African governments and to achieve the long-term development 
    necessary to avert a chronic state of crisis in Sub-Saharan Africa;
        ``(5) the Special Facility for Sub-Saharan Africa will have as 
    its primary goal the implementation of policy reforms to help the 
    African countries to help themselves;
        ``(6) to succeed, these efforts must be reinforced by 
    development resources;
        ``(7) the appalling conditions prevalent in the countries of 
    Sub-Saharan Africa underscore the need for the United States to 
    participate in a coordinated framework with the other aid donor 
    countries; and
        ``(8) the Special Facility for Sub-Saharan Africa provides such 
    a framework and it is in the humanitarian, economic, and strategic 
    interests of the United States to participate.''
