Senate Restores Essential Funding to the International Affairs Budget
The U.S. Global Leadership Campaign (USGLC) applauds the Senate for adopting the Kerry-Lugar Amendment by unanimous consent to restore $4 billion cut by the Senate Budget Committee to the FY10 International Affairs Budget. Full funding of the International Affairs Budget at the President’s $53.8 billion request ensures America has the essential “smart power” tools of diplomacy and development to protect our national security, build economic prosperity, and demonstrate our moral values as a nation.
