    UNITED STATES FUNDS PROGRAMS FOR REFUGEES

    The State Department's Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration
    releases a fact sheet periodically on U.S. funding provided to
    programs for refugees administered by international organizations.

    U.S. refugee policy is based on the premise that the care of refugees
    and other conflict victims and the pursuit of permanent solutions for
    refugee crises are shared international responsibilities.

    The most recent fact sheet, released June 13,shows funding actions
    completed in May with international and nongovernmental organizations
    and includes, for example, funding for U.N. Development Program
    activities in Russia's North Caucasus region and funding for the
    construction of houses and schools for refugees in Armenia.
