Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Foreign Policy Overview, Budget Requests for Fiscal Year 1994: Hearing Before the Committee on Foreign Relations, United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session, April 20, 1993 The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:20 a.m., in room SD - 419, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Claiborne Pell (chairman of the committee) presiding. Present: Senators Pell, Biden, Kerry, Simon, Robb, Feingold, Helms, Lugar, and Kassebaum. The Chairman. The Committee on Foreign Relations will come to order. Secretary Christopher, we welcome you today for your first public appearance before our committee as Secretary of State to set forth the new administration´s foreign policy goals and justify the financial resources required to achieve those goals. During the 3 months you have been in office, you have stated many times that Us policies must reflect the new realities of the post-cold war era; that they must directly promote the well-being of all Americans and that our diplomacy must put a premium on timely prevention rather than on costly cure. Nowhere are these precepts being more sorely tested than in our policy toward Russia. I know that I, for one, strongly support the assistance programs announced by you by the administration. If economic and political reforms are to advance in Russia, there must be a timely and tangible sign of support from the advanced industrial democracies of the world. Seventy-six years ago, we missed an opportunity to aid a fledgling democracy under Mr. Kerinsky in Russia and we paid dearly for that failure. We cannot afford to repeat history. It is as simple as that. American diplomacy is also being severely challenged in Bosnia. The world is watching to see whether the West will allow an aggression of near genocidal proportions to succeed. If it does succeed, I fear that the lessons learned from this tragedy by tyrants around the world could lead to an era of unparalleled brutality and ethnic conflict. American diplomacy has long been driven by the idealistic conviction that we can and should make the world a better place. This idealism, often derided by cynics, has a very practical side of it. That is, that we are likely to be safer and more prosperous in a world where our values are widely shared than when they are under siege.
