Excerpt from American Overseas Interests Act: Administration Witnesses (Part I), Vol. 1: Hearings Before the Committee on International Relations, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, First Session, on H. R. 1561; April 4 and May 9, 1995 The committee met, pursuant to call, at 10:02 a.m., in room 2172, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Benjamin A. Gilman (chairman of the committee) presiding. Chairman Gilman. The committee will please come to order. We welcome a panel to the hearing this morning on consolidation of our foreign affairs agencies, and with us today are Undersecretary of State Richard Moose, Director Joseph Duffey of the U.S. Information Agency, Administrator Brian Atwood of the Agency for International Development, and Director John Holum of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. Gentlemen, we appreciate your willingness to come before our committee to discuss this important issue. Our friend and colleague, Senator Helms, has presented a very serious proposal, and we do commend him for his efforts to achieve some meaningful reforms in the structure of our foreign affairs agencies. These agencies currently reflect the requirements of a bygone era with different challenges, different goals and certainly, different polemics. It was an era that stretched from the end of World War II until the demise of the Soviet Union just a few years ago. To meet these new challenges that we now face and to take advantage of the new opportunities, our Secretary of State must have all the resources represented by your agencies to formulate a foreign policy that will effectively garner a nation into the next century. The Budget Committee has advised our committee to plan on reductions for international affairs activities below fiscal year 1995 that will ultimately total $11 billion over the next 5 years. In the face of spending reductions to this degree, we must consolidate activities in order to give the Secretary of State the flexibility to find these priorities where our Nation must lead. Our committee must also lead, and after the recess, we expect to be considering a consolidation plan that will incorporate significant savings. I hope that my colleagues will agree that changes in the international affairs budget are required, and our committee must do that kind of work. The members of our committee are the most knowledgeable about these programs and can provide the best judgment as to how to fashion reductions that will still provide the resources necessary to preserve U.S. leadership abroad.
