U.S. Foreign Aid Reform: Will The Congress Work for a Smart Power Budget?
http://blogs.cgdev.org/globaldevelopment/2007/03/us_foreign_aid_reform_will_the.php
This blog is to follow up on the previous post about the President’s 2008 budget. As stated, advocates are urging for more money for the poor. A unanimous consent was made by the Senate to restore the International Affairs Budget, coming terms with the president’s request of $36.5 billion. The House of Representatives, however, did not come to agreement on the budget. As a result, the Senate and House will work together to come up with an agreeable International Affairs Budget for 2008. Furthermore, the Center for Strategic and International Studies aims devise a plan for the U.S. to incorporate its soft and hard powers into “smart power” to face challanges and determine defense, diplomacy, and development priorities.
