Session #97 · 1981–83

Speech #970078146

This is in 1983 alone. I will remind my colleagues that if there is waste. fraud. and abuse elsewhere in the Federal Government. we can all rest assured that there is plenty in the State Department and this massive increase is totally unrealistic and unjustified. Second. the bill authorizes an excess of $95.6 million above the Presidents request for migration and refugee assistance. This may be a reasonable and humanitarian program but is it justified in light of the cuts we have demanded in domestic programs? I think my colleagues will agree that the answer is a resounding "no." Finally. the bill authorizes $174.2 million more for the International Communication Agency than the President requested and $16.7 million more for the Board for International Broadcasting than the President requested.
