Foreign Operations Appropriations


Book Description

This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. Identifies the legislative origins that pertain to foreign aid in the Dept. of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Approp. Act, 2009. Foreign assistance law requires Congress to authorize funding for programs before appropriated funds are spent. After 1986, Congress turned more frequently to enacting freestanding authorities that did not amend the 1961 Act, or included language in annual approp. measures to waive the requirement to keep authorizations current. As enactment of foreign aid reauthor. waned, the General Provisions of foreign operations approp. measures increasingly became the place for Congress to assert its views on the role and use of U.S. foreign aid policy, or put limits or conditions on assistance.
