USGLC CEO on FY21 Budget Testimony

WASHINGTON – The President and CEO of the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition, Liz Schrayer, released the following statement on testimony in the Fiscal Year 2021 budget cycle:

It is always good governance to hold budget hearings between Congress and the Administration, but the truth is that while the COVID-19 pandemic has upended the current environment, it is even more important that regular order continues. We urge the State Department and Congress to find a path forward for budget hearings on FY21 as soon as possible.

Since 1995, the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition (USGLC.org) has been bringing together bipartisan political, military, business, farmer, faith, nonprofit, and community leaders from across the country to advocate on the strategic imperative of American leadership for advancing our own security, prosperity, and values. We believe that smart investments in international assistance and diplomacy, alongside defense, can make the world safer and America stronger.
