Chairman Smith on the hearing: “The Government of Rwanda has cooperated with the international community in numerous areas but there continue to be persistent, credible reports of human rights abuses by this government both inside and outside the country. Our hearing will examine these reports and try to determine how this reality impacts U.S policy toward Rwanda.”
