It is a note Of upstart greatness to observe and watch For these poor trifles, which the noble mind Neglects and scorns.
The Catholic community, with many others, has long worked for this new commitment on global health and debt relief (President George W. Bushs proposed $15 billion Global AIDS initiative). I hope that Congress will now appropriate the money needed to make this legislation a reality, and that the U. S. government will press for strengthening the debt relief program along the lines proposed by this legislation.
