New Bill Would Require President to Develop and Implement a National Strategy for Global Development
On April 28, Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee Representative Howard Berman (D-CA-28) and Representative Mark Kirk (R-IL-10) introduced H.R. 2139, the “Initiating Foreign Assistance Reform Act of 2009,” to direct the president to develop and implement a comprehensive national strategy to further the U.S. foreign policy objective of promoting global development, and for other purposes.
The bill is intended to be a precursor to a broader reform effort later this year, including a comprehensive rewrite of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. Learn more »
