Then CSIS Sumitro Chair Ernie Bower asks Tim Rieser, a professional clerk with the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations and Related Programs, how the U.S. Congress has funded a unique humanitarian program to help Vietnamese people affected by the use of toxins in Agent Orange during the Vietnam War, which has helped build trust in the U.S.-Vietnam relationship.
