"The Congress further declares that in the administration of programs of assistance under this Act, the highest practicable emphasis should be given to: programs providing for loans or loan guarantees for use by institutions and organizations in making repayable lowinterest rate loans to individuals in friendly foreign countries for the purchase of small farms, the purchase of homes, the establishment, equipment and strengthening of small independent business concerns, purchase of tools or equipment needed by individuals for carrying on an occupation or a trade, or financing the opportunity for individuals to obtain practical education in vocational and occupational skills, and to those programs of technical assistance and development which will assist in carrying out and in preparing a favorable environment for such programs. While recognizing that special requirements, differing development needs and political conditions in various assisted countries will affect the priority of such programs and of each country's relative ability to implement them, it is further the sense of Congress that each such assisted country should be encouraged to give adequate recognition to such needs of the people in the preparation of national development programs."
