RMF I don't have the exact figures----they are floating around in the mist of the internet and likely in SI.

Consider that Obama's Global Poverty Initiative will be in the billions of dollars for foreign countries-------is this not another form of earmarks but earmarks for other countries?

When we are faced with a financial crisis is it wise to add billions in earmarks to other nations.

Back to Stevens--------the recent articles I have read about Stevens certainly do not show him in a bad light-------seems to me he was living a rather modest life while attempting to take care of the state he represented.
