Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Seed Act Assistance Programs: Hearing Before the Committee on International Relations, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, First Session, March 23, 1995 The committee met, pursuant to call, at 10 a.m. in room 2172, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Benjamin A. Gilman (chairman of the committee) presiding. Chairman Gilman. The Committee on International Relations will come to order. This morning, our committee will take testimony on our assistance programs targeted toward Eastern Europe under the Support for East European Democracy Act of 1989, also known as the Seed Act, as it is commonly referred to. I want to thank our witnesses, Ambassador Johnson, Ralph Johnson, State Department Coordinator of Assistance to Eastern Europe; and Mr. Tom Dine, Assistant Administrator, of the U.S. Agency for International Development, for responding so cooperatively to the committee´s request that they appear before us this morning. We look forward to your testimony, gentlemen. Let me note in the way of an opening statement that we should not overlook Eastern Europe or the developments there. As history has shown, events in that region have the capability to drastically affect the entire world. Today the conflicts in Bosnia and in Croatia, the simmering unrest in the region of the southern Balkans, and the region-wide challenges associated with dealing constructively with national minority issues, and the difficult transformation to market-based economies, all of these indicate the seriousness of the issues that the international community must address in that region. This committee has already taken testimony from Assistant Secretary Richard Holbrooke on policy issues in Eastern Europe. Today we will be focusing on the ways in which our Seed assistance programs are working to support our own nation´s policy in that region. Obviously, we will also seek to focus today on the administration of the Seed program itself, particularly in the context of the fiscal year 1996 budget request. Before I yield to my colleagues, I would like to point to a couple of things that concern me at this point. First, I am concerned that the East European countries efforts to reform their economies may be losing some steam.
