In response to a letter from Sen. Patrick Leahy and Congressman Barney Frank , Sec. of State Timothy Geithner made a strong commitment to personaly convey to ADB President Kuroda the need for an improved safeguard policy. Senators Leahy and Congressman Frank express concern that the working draft revision could "exclude thousands of displaced people from coverage by diminishing the scope of its involuntary resettlement policy to include only persons displaced by land acquistiion. The policy also places undue reliance on cash compensation as a means to protect livelihoods of affected persons without ensuring livelihood security through other appropriate means."
