ABSTRACT:
This document reports testimony at a Congressional hearing held to elicit information on international exchange programs. The testimony
describes the international exchange and training or cultural programs
funded partially or fully by the U.S. Government, using the 1990 report
of the U.S. Information Agency (USIA). The information survey included
16 agencies that reported spending about $660 million for about 80 exchange
or training programs for about 41,000 people in fiscal year 1992. The
testimony gives a brief overview of the programs and cites some agency
managers' concerns about possible program duplication and lack of
flexibility, especially in Support for Eastern European Democracy programs
or congressionally mandated programs. Appended to the report is a list
of the U.S.-funded international exchange and training programs sponsored
by the following: Agency for International Development, the Department
of Agriculture, the Department of Commerce, the Department of Defense,
the Department of Education, the Department of Health and Human Services,
the Inter-American Foundation, the Department of the Interior, the Japan-U.S.
Friendship Commission, the Department of Labor, the National Endowment
for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the National
Science Foundation, the Smithsonian Institution, the Department of State,
and the USIA. (KC)
