Liberia. Mozambique. and Somalia. because of concerns over violations of internationally recognized human rights and conditions resulting from civil strife. The Commission for the Study of International Migration and Cooperative Economic Development. in its report on "Unauthorized Migration: An Economic Development Response." recommends that U.S. foreign assistance address the root causes of emigration through a more targeted aid program. I agree that migration should be a factor in evaluating both the potential and the effectiveness of foreign assistance programs. I therefore am requesting that the AID Administrator. in cooperation with the Secretary of the Treasury. develop methodology and criteria for assessing the migration impact of bilateral and multilateral assistance programs to migrant sending regions. especially in Central America and the Caribbean. and for evaluating the effects such programs have on migration trends from the aid recipient areas. I hope that such a plan can be made available by January 31. 1991.
