Support for President Obama's International Aid Budget

Date this position was adopted by UUSC:
Thursday, March 11, 2010


UUSC signed a letter with InterAction groups to be sent to Congress in support of President's international aid budget request. The purpose is to show of support for international aid, dissuade Congress from cutting the modest foreign aid budget, and offset public misconception that foreign aid is some huge percentage of U.S. spending when it accounted for merely 1.4% of total federal spending in FY11.
