‘‘DIVISION A—STREAMLINING OF

FOREIGN AFFAIRS AGENCIES

TITLE I—GENERAL PROVISIONS

SEC. 101. SHORT TITLE.

This division may be cited as the ‘‘Foreign

Affairs Agencies Streamlining Act of 1995’’.

SEC. 102. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.

The Congress makes the following findings:

(1) With the end of the Cold War, the international challenges facing the United States

have changed, but the fundamental national

interests of the United States have not. The

security, economic, and humanitarian interests of the United States require continued

American engagement in international affairs. The leading role of the United States

in world affairs will be as important in the

twenty first century as it has been in the

twentieth.

(2) The United States budget deficit requires that the foreign as well as the domestic programs and activities of the United

States be carefully reviewed for potential

savings. Wherever possible, foreign programs

and activities must be streamlined, managed

more efficiently, and adapted to the requirements of the post-Cold War era.

(3) As part of an overall review to foster efficiencies in the executive branch, the President has had under review the organization

and functions of those departments and

agencies responsible for administering the

international affairs (150) budget function.

(4) The President deserves commendation

for the results of such review to date, including significant numbers of foreign posts

closed and personnel reductions made by

some foreign affairs agencies.

(5) In order to achieve further budgetary

savings and eliminate overlapping responsibilities and duplication of efforts in the

foreign programs and activities of the United

States without jeopardizing United States

interests, continued careful review and

strong effective leadership will be required.

(6) A streamlined foreign affairs structure

under the leadership of the President can

more effectively promote the international

interests of the United States in the next

century.

TITLE II—ONGOING REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS MANAGEMENT

SEC. 201. REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS

AGENCIES.

(a) REVIEW.—The President shall review, as

part of an overall effort to foster efficiencies

in the executive branch, the programs described in the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961

and the Arms Export Control Act, as well as

other initiatives within the administration

of international affairs programs, to determine how best to achieve the cost savings

and streamlining.

(b) CONSIDERATIONS.—The review conducted pursuant to subsection (a) shall include a review of—

(1) any additional costs or cost savings

that would result from reorganizing the

agencies administering programs under the

international affairs (150) budget function;

(2) the management implications of any

agency reorganization;

(3) the optimal organizational structure for

the foreign affairs agencies;

(4) the implications for United States foreign policy and United States foreign assistance programs of any agency reorganization;

(5) the justification for staffing levels of

non-foreign affairs agencies overseas, including the Departments of Commerce, Defense,

Justice, Treasury, and any intelligence agencies;

(6) the extent to which the activities of

such non-foreign affairs agencies contribute

to United States foreign policy and national

security interests;

(7) the implications for the United States

foreign operations of recent developments in

communications technology;

(8) the feasibility of centralizing worldwide

financial services of all foreign affairs agencies in the United States, including the feasibility of moving all such services to a location outside of the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area;

(9) the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of

contracting with private companies or other

United States Government agencies for certain services, including payroll, vendor payments, and Foreign Service pension payments systems, medical examination programs, and certain training programs; and

(10) efforts to consolidate management of

all U.S. international exchange programs to

eliminate duplication and overlap.

(c) REPORT.—Not later than six months

after the date of enactment of this Act, the

President shall submit to the appropriate

congressional committees a report on the results of the comprehensive review required

by subsection (a).

SEC. 202. REORGANIZATION AUTHORITY

(a) AUTHORITY.—The President is authorized to submit to the Congress a reorganization plan, if he determines such reorganization is necessary, to enhance the coordination, effectiveness, and efficiency of programs within the international affairs (150)

budget function.

(b) EXCEPTION.—Any plan submitted pursuant to the authority of subsection (a) may be

submitted pursuant to chapter 9 of title 5

(relating to executive reorganization) of the

United States Code, notwithstanding section

905(b) of that chapter.

H.R. 1561

SEC. 501. CONSOLIDATION REPORT.

(a) REPORT.—No agency of the United

States Government may be abolished or its

functions transferred or consolidated with

another such agency pursuant to this division or any other provision of this Act relating to reorganization unless the Director of

the Congressional Budget Office and the Director of the Office of Management and

Budget independently calculate and submit

to the Congress a joint report analyzing the

costs and benefits of any such action.

(b) CONTENTS OF REPORT.—The cost/benefit

analysis required by subsection (a) shall include, but not be limited to—

(1) An assessment of direct and indirect

costs for the first five years associated with

the implementation of the provisions of this

division or any other provision of this Act

relating to reorganization; and

(2) The effects of consolidation on personnel, management systems, real property, decisionmaking processes, administrative

costs, and costs associated with terminating,

amending, renegotiating, or negotiating existing and new contracts.

(c) FURTHER CONGRESSIONAL ACTION REQUIRED.—Notwithstanding any other provision of this act, if the Director of the Congressional Budget Office and the Director of

the Office of Management and Budget either

jointly or independently determine and report that the costs associated with the consolidation required by this division or any

other provision of this act relating to reorganization exceed the fiscal year 1995 operating

costs of the affected agencies, such provisions shall not become effective unless—

(1) the President determines that such consolidation is in the national interest of the

United States; or

(2) a joint resolution is enacted specifying

that such provisions shall become effective

upon enactment of such resolution.

Redesignate sections 501 through 511 as

sections 502 through 512.

AMENDMENT NO. 24, At the end of title

XXXIII (relating to regional provisions), add

then from loan assistance, $500,000 for each

day that Turkey does not meet the conditions of subsection (c).

(b) WAIVER.—The President may waive the

application of subsection (a) if the President

determines that it is in the national security

interest of the United States to do so.

(c) CONDITIONS.—The conditions of this

subsection are met when the President certifies to Congress that the Government of

Turkey—

(1) allows free and unfettered monitoring

of the human rights situation within its territory by domestic and international human

rights monitoring organizations, including

but not limited to, the Turkish Human

Rights Association, the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe, Amnesty

International, and Human Rights Watch;
