State Action: Tennessee
The USGLC has a strong presence in Tennessee, where the international affairs budget is vital to the local economy. From 1992 to 2006 the number of jobs in Tennessee dependent on international trade almost doubled to nearly 17.5%. Join the USGLC in helping build a more prosperous and safer Tennessee.
Despite being only 1% of the total Federal Budget, the International Affairs Budget includes programs that cover a breadth of U.S. State Department activities and other international efforts that promote global stability and provide for the security and well-being of all Americans.
