DIVISION A—CONSOLIDATION
OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AGENCIES
TITLE I—GENERAL PROVISIONS
SEC. 101. SHORT TITLE.
This division may be cited as the ‘‘Foreign Affairs
Agencies Consolidation Act of 1997’’.
SEC. 102. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) With the end of the Cold War, the inter-
national 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 re-
quire continued United States engagement in inter-
national 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 re-
viewed for potential savings. Wherever possible, for-
eign programs and activities must be streamlined,
managed more efficiently, and adapted to the re-
quirements of the post-Cold War era.
(3) In order to downsize the foreign programs
and activities of the United States without jeopardiz-
ing United States interests, strong and effective
leadership will be required. As the official principally
responsible for the conduct of foreign policy, the
Secretary of State must have the authority to allo-
cate efficiently the resources within the international
affairs budget. As a first step in the downsizing
process, the proliferation of foreign affairs agencies
that occurred during the Cold War must be re-
versed, and functions of these agencies must be re-
stored to the Secretary of State.
(4) A streamlined and reorganized foreign af-
fairs structure under the strengthened leadership of
the Secretary of State can more effectively promote
the international interests of the United States in
the next century than the existing structure.
(5) The new foreign affairs structure should be
one that will maintain the quality and integrity of
the public diplomacy and arms control functions now
performed by the United States Information Agency
and the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency.
SEC. 103. PURPOSES.
The purposes of this division are—
(1) to consolidate and reinvent the foreign af-
fairs agencies of the United States within the De-
partment of State;
(2) to assist congressional efforts to balance the
Federal budget and reduce the Federal debt;
(3) to provide for the reorganization of the De-
partment of State to maximize the efficient use of
resources, eliminate redundancy in functions, effect
budget savings, and improve the management of the
Department of State;
(4) to ensure that the United States maintains
adequate representation abroad within budgetary re-
straints;
(5) to ensure that programs critical to the pro-
motion of United States national interests be main-
tained;
(6) to encourage United States foreign affairs
agencies to maintain a high percentage of the best
qualified, most competent United States citizens
serving in the United States Government while
downsizing significantly the total number of people
employed by such agencies;
(7) to strengthen—
(A) the coordination of United States for-
eign policy; and
(B) the leading role of the Secretary of
State in the formulation and articulation of
United States foreign policy;
(8) to abolish the United States Arms Control
and Disarmament Agency, the United States Infor-
mation Agency, the United States International De-
velopment Cooperation Agency, and consolidate the
functions of these agencies into the Department of
State while preserving the quality and integrity of
these functions; and
(9) to consolidate some functions of the Agency
for International Development into the Department
of State.
