WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Representative Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) today expressed grave concerns about the $1.6 billion in proposed aid to Columbia. During a hearing of the Government Reform Subcommittee on Criminal Justice, Drug Policy and Human Resources, Schakowsky questioned the current U.S. policy of investing billions of dollars in a military drug war that has yielded little or no results.
