Hoyer Congratulates Jonathan Stivers on Confirmation as USAID Assistant Administrator for Asia WASHINGTON, DC - House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement after last night’s Senate confirmation of Jonathan Stivers as the United States Agency for International Development's Assistant Administrator for Asia: "I join in congratulating Jonathan Stivers on his confirmation as USAID Assistant Administrator for Asia last night. As a senior advisor to Leader Pelosi, Jonathan has played an important role in some of the most critical foreign policy debates Congress has had over the past several years, providing good counsel and advice, and bringing his knowledge and experience to the table. "With half the world's population and great strategic importance for the global economy and the spread of democracy, Asia will continue to be a focus of our foreign policy throughout the twenty-first century. USAID continues to build bridges to the people of Asian nations through innovative development projects, economic assistance, and democratic institution building. I look forward to working with Jonathan in his new capacity as the Congress continues its work in support of USAID's mission."
