S. Res. 190 · 113th Congress · Jun 27, 2013 · Lineage

RESOLUTION

That it is the sense of the Senate that—
(1)
a comprehensive action plan for addressing the needs of children living in adversity should be sanctioned by the highest level of the Government of the United States;
(2)
Federal funding that currently goes toward projects and research benefitting children in low- and middle-income countries should be coordinated among the Federal agencies that receive it with the goals of—
(A)
promoting permanent family care for the most vulnerable children in the world;
(B)
reducing the number of children who experience violence, exploitation, or abuse; and
(C)
eliminating unnecessary duplication and contradictory approaches within the Government of the United States; and
(3)
the United States Government Action Plan on Children in Adversity has the potential to realize those goals and create a more effective and efficient response by the Government of the United States to assisting the most vulnerable children in the world.
