CHAPTER 4—CONFORMING AMENDMENTS
SEC. 441. REFERENCES.
Any reference in any statute, reorganization plan,
Executive order, regulation, agreement, determination, or
other official document or proceeding to—
(1) the Administrator of the Agency for Inter-
national Development, or any other officer or em-
ployee of the Agency for International Development
shall be deemed to refer to the Secretary of State;
and humanitarian interests of the United States re-
quire continued American 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 the functions of these agencies must be
restored to the Secretary of State.
