I am proud to introduce a resolution today with Senator Coons honoring the United States African Development Foundation's 40th anniversary,Senator Inhofe said.USADF has for years given local entrepreneurs resources and opportunities to develop, grow and scale their businessesimproving their lives. Africa holds a special place in my heart and I look forward to continuing to support the USADF and the U.S.-Africa relationship for years to come.
