Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Fiscal Year 1994 Foreign Relations Authorization Act: Budget Requests: Hearings Before the Subcommittee on Terrorism, Narcotics and International Operations of the Committee on Foreign Relations; United States Senate; One Hundred Third Congress; First Session; May 12, June 9 and 17, 1993 The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:02 a.m., in room SD-419, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. John F. Kerry (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. Present: Senators Pell, Kerry, Feingold, Pressler, Murkowski, and Coverdell. Senator Kerry. The hearing will come to order. Good morning. My apologies for being a couple of minutes late. And I gather some of our staff is still stuck in traffic. But we will proceed. This morning, the Subcommittee on Terrorism, Narcotics and International Operations is meeting to review the budget request of the Department of State, the U.S. Information Agency, the National Endowment for Democracy and the Board for International Broadcasting for fiscal year 1994. As we all know, this is the first year of a new standard, really, being applied to these budgets; I suppose a new standard in two ways. Number one, because there is a new administration and number two, because there is going to be a new fiscal reality with respect to the 150 budget items as a consequence of the policies enunciated by the President as well as the budget restraints that we are operating under. And finally also, as we know, the fire walls that have protected the discretionary international affairs spending fall this year. And so international programs are going to be competing with the critical domestic programs and that is already reflected in the budget. It is not a pretty situation. I think we have to recognize that. And I suppose in some ways it may better force the debate in this country and elsewhere as to what the priorities are and what the proper allocation of resources is going to be. I personally have very, very strong feelings and I think they are shared, obviously, by a significant majority of the members of the Foreign Relations Committee, although I cannot say necessarily the entire Senate, that in this new world that we live you cannot separate domestic budget items and foreign budget items. Stability in countries around the world is at the center of all of our economic opportunities in these next years.
