On the recordJune 7, 1995
Reclaiming my time in order to answer the question, we are bringing down these budgets, and by restructuring we are forcing those people, those managers within the system, to be more efficient, to make decisions that will make their operation more effective within decreased budgets. The fact is that in the post-cold-war world we need some restructuring, and we perhaps need our ambassadors in foreign countries to be able to operate a little bit more independently even though their budgets in foreign countries will be less than what they were 10 years ago at the height of the cold war.
