Let me briefly state 3 reasons why I think that without the family planning restrictions this is a good bill. First. this bill authorizes funding of both existing needs and the correction of longtime existing problems. such as a failing computer system. the construction of two major long overdue embassies. and the remediation of security and maintenance problems around the world. International law enforcement. narcotics abatement. and refugee programs are all increased under this bill. Second. the State Department Authorization Bill takes an historic step in working with the administration and Secretary Albright to reorganize the foreign policy bureaucracy of the United States. so that the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. the United States Information Agency. and the Agency for International Development are brought within the State Department and other operations are streamlined. The reorganization plan presented by this bill preserves the unique skills and capabilities of each of the current foreign affairs agencies while creating a new. streamlined. structure capable of meeting the challenges of the twentyfirst century.
