Opis

Every year the Administration and the Congress battle stubbornly and often bitterly over appropriations for foreign aid. Clearly much more is at stake than a difference of opinion over a small fraction of the annual budget: the tug-of war stems from clashes of basic political philosophies, divergent approaches to one of the most important elements of our foreign policy, and inherent confl icts among various domestic power blocs.
