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 1996’’.
SEC. 102. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) With the end of the Cold War, the international chal-
lenges facing the United States have changed, but the fun-
damental national interests of the United States have not.
The security, economic, and humanitarian interests of the
United States require continued United States 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 for-
eign as well as the domestic programs and activities of the
H. R. 1561—6
United States be carefully reviewed for potential savings. Wher-
ever possible, foreign programs and activities must be stream-
lined, managed more efficiently, and adapted to the require-
ments of the post-Cold War era.
(3) In order to downsize the foreign programs and activities
of the United States without jeopardizing 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 prolifera-
tion of foreign affairs agencies that occurred during the Cold
War must be reversed, and the functions of these agencies
must be restored to the Secretary of State.
(4) A streamlined and reorganized foreign affairs 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.
SEC. 103. PURPOSES.
The purposes of this division are—
(1) to consolidate and reinvent the foreign affairs agencies
of the United States within the Department 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 Department
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 restraints;
(5) to ensure that programs critical to the promotion of
United States national interests be maintained;
(6) to encourage United States foreign affairs agencies to
maintain a high percentage of the best qualified, most com-
petent 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 foreign policy;
and
(B) the leading role of the Secretary of State in the
formulation and articulation of United States foreign policy;
and
(8) to abolish, not later than March 1, 1997, the United
States Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, the United
States Information Agency, the United States International
Development Cooperation Agency, and the Agency for Inter-
national Development.
