"Then could it be an amendment that creates payment to the NGOs? I've never personally dealth with grants. I'm just reading the CFR forms."

The only thing I read in the form excerpts you posted that would give anything at all to the NGOs of value would be a proprietary interest in the results of the grant-funded studies. However, that doesn't seem all that valuable, either, since the interest would likely be FOIAable even if the NGO owns it, since the studies were funded by federal dollars.

I agree that your suspicions are well grounded. But I don't see them coming to fruition here.

However, the whole idea of 'health parity' or whatever other buzzword for redistributionism the left is pushing in these programs is reprehensible. If they want to take money from America for health care in other countries, they should have the guts to admit it and be public about it. They don't. They've proven to be snakes, lying about their true intentions in order to get elected, and the shameful thing is that given the dispirited GOP's base, Republican voters might not come out in 2006, letting these pinko weasels back into the Speaker and Majority Leader's offices.

It isn't federally funded if it is NGO grant monies. And the FOIA that collects the data is personal data that gets housed in a global database.

I really wish they would be more public about this. I am very confused by all of this.

And you are now marked for pinging. When I get my server files open to read through what I've collected about it, I'm pinging you! You seem to have a grasp of this :)
