Citation Excerpt: The Committee commends the Cooperative Association of States for Scholarships (CASS) for its effective approaches to providing individuals with the skills that enable them to contribute effectively to the economic growth of their communities and nations. The Committee notes that the CASS program has offered technical education, job training, and leadership skills to young adults and leaders from communities of Central America and the Caribbean in fields such as agriculture, education, business, construction, environmental science, health care and technology training. The Committee expects USAID to fully fund the current CASS agreement. The Committee also notes that the CASS program is undertaking new activities in Mexico in support of the Administration's efforts to strengthen the United States-Mexico relationship, and believes that the program's long history in Haiti could contribute significantly to USAID efforts in that nation.
