[Chevelle-List] Barbara Lee
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Lee is also a leader in the effort to increase humanitarian support for the Cuban people and overturn the embargo against Cuba. Likewise, Lee was one of only five U.S. Representatives to vote against a resolution supporting the December 1998 bombing of Iraq and the only Member of Congress to vote against a March 24, 1999 resolution regarding the commitment of troops to Kosovo, votes which have been deemed courageous by her constituents and by peace activists nationwide. Congresswoman Lee has also taken a leadership role in fighting for affordable housing. She recently helped to secured a $34 million Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Hope VI Revitalization Grant for the Housing Authority of the City of Oakland, which will be used to revitalize the Coliseum Gardens public housing development. At the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation (CBCF) Western Regional Summit on Housing and Wealth Accumulation, in Oakland, Fannie Mae contributed $500,000 to the Community Bank of the Bay that will be used to establish a line of credit. The West Oakland, community-based, Northern California Land Trust (NCLT) will use this line of credit, with assistance from Fannie Mae, private lenders, and HUD, to identify, acquire, restore, and resell properties at a very low cost to low-income residents under the guidance of a Board of Directors. In 1998, Congresswoman Lee led a community wide response to Alameda County's African American AIDS crisis. This effort led to the declaration of a State of Emergency on HIV/AIDS in Alameda County, which resulted in an increase of over $5 million in local HIV/AIDS care and services funding. Ms. Lee's recent work with colleagues to develop a bi-partisan strategy to address the global AIDS crisis culminated when President Clinton signed H.R. 3519, the Global AIDS and Tuberculosis Relief Act of 2000, allocating over $1 billion to combat HIV/AIDS in Africa. The bill creates the World Bank AIDS Trust Fund, also known as the AIDS Marshall Plan for Africa. By providing grant funding, not loans, this public and private partnership will authorize $300 million over two years to address the AIDS pandemic. The bill also allocates hundreds of millions of dollars to the President's global AIDS initiatives, and other international HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis initiatives. Earlier this year, Rep. Lee also successfully offered an amendment to the Foreign Operations Appropriations bill that increased the President's funding request for international HIV/AIDS by $42 million for FY01. The amendment increased the account for Agency for International Development Child Survival and Disease Programs Fund. The additional funds will be directed to the prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS. Representative Lee serves on the House Committee on Banking and Financial Services and the House Committee on International Relations. She is also a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, the Congressional Black Caucus, and the Congressional Women's Caucus. Like her predecessor, Congressman Ron Dellums, Rep. Lee has worked diligently to strengthen economic development in the Bay Area by supporting the redevelopment of military bases. The Congresswoman has also worked to reduce class size and increase the amount of money directed to educational programs and initiatives, including helping to raise millions in federal and local funds for math and science education at the Chabot Observatory and Science Center in Oakland and for technology education and training in the district. - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
