Ambassador John Danilovich, CEO of the Millennium Challenge
Corporation, this week told members of a key House foreign aid panel
that Armenia has made a number of reforms that are both `positive and
constructive,' and expressed that elections in Armenia be `conducted
correctly,' reports the Armenian Assembly of America.
Danilovich appeared before the House Appropriations Subcommittee on
State, Foreign Operations and Related Programs to discuss MCC's
funding needs for Fiscal Year 2008. Committee Chairwoman Nita Lowey
(D-NY), in her opening statement, stressed that MCC funding was
designed to be additive, and should not take away from other funding
programs, such as the Freedom Support Act. Her concerns were echoed by
Congressman Jesse L. Jackson, Jr. (D-IL) and Armenian Caucus Co-Chair
Rep. Joe Knollenberg (R-MI), who also noted that Armenia must work to
sustain its status as an MCC recipient.
