I wish to address the gentleman from Ohio and mention that we have provided discretionary authority to the President to eliminate one of three agencies, not mandating that AID be eliminated, giving the President the opportunity to decide between AID, USIA, or ACDA, the Arms Control Agency. So there is no mandate, and I just wanted to make certain that the gentleman understands that there is no mandate to remove AID.
Discussing the discretionary authority given to the President regarding agency elimination.
