Clinton Budget Keeps
Program Funding

Washington (JTA) — Presi-
dent Clinton's 1994 budget,
sent to Capitol Hill last
week, keeps funding for
various programs of Jewish
interest at the same or
higher funding levels than
the current fiscal year.
_ Although country-by-
country expenditures in the
foreign aid section of the
budget were not spelled out,
aid to Israel is expected to
remain at its current annual
level of $3 billion.
Mr. Clinton and his for-
eign policy team have said
on numerous occasions that
aid to Israel, the largest
recipient of American aid,
and to Egypt, the second-
largest recipient at $2.1
billion a year, would remain
constant for at least another
year.
Some in the Jewish com-
munity were initially wor-
ried that the troubled
American economic climate
could result in budget cuts
affecting aid to Israel or
other programs of concern to
American Jews. But for the
most part, such programs
seem to have been spared.
For instance, funding for
domestic resettlement of
refugees, including Jews
from the former Soviet
Union, will actually increase
after being cut back this past
year.
That, of course, assumes
that Congress will pass the
administration's budget in-
tact, which it never does. In
fact, in recent years, the
president's budget has been
regarded as more of a policy
blueprint and "wish list"
that is drastically revised in
the yearlong congressional
allocations and appropria-
tions process.
• The State Department
budget reflects the ad-
ministration's focus on
changing its foreign assis-
tance priorities in the post-
Cold War world.
The budget for the
department is based on five
objectives: building democ-
racy, promoting and main-
taining peace, promoting
economic growth and sus-
tainable development, ad-
dressing global problems,
and providing humanitarian
assistance.
As expected, the Soviet
successor states received a
boost of over $300 million in
additional aid, which was
backed by many Jewish
groups.

Funding for Israel and
Egypt's aid packages falls<
under the category of pro-
moting and maintaining
peace. The administration (
has placed a high priority on
the Middle East peace pro-
cess.
Aid to Israel and Egypt<
now totals 87 percent of the
entire U.S. security assis-
tance budget, the State
Department said, up from 70
percent in the late 1980s, be-
cause of shrinking overall
levels of aid.
But in real dollars, Israel's
annual infusion of U.S. aid,
which has remained cons- r,
tant since the mid-1980s, \
has been shrinking because
of inflation.
In addition to $1.8 billion
in military aid and $1.2
billion in economic assis-
tance for Israel, the budget
earmarks $55 million in (
U.S. aid for the resettlement
of refugees in Israel, down
from $80 million the year
before.
The 1994 budget also in-
cludes a new request for $5
million to support the
multilateral working groups
of the Middle East peace [\
process.
Another provision in the

Resettlement
funding will
actually increase.

budget calls for canceling
the Voice of America relay
station that had been
scheduled to be built in
Israel's Negev desert. This
cut had been expected by
many in the pro-Israel com-
munity.
The station had triggered
controversy in Israel, in part
because of concern about its
environmental impact.
The new budget also calls
for the deletion of provisions
included in previous budgets
that barred the State and
Defense departments from
awarding contracts to firms
complying with terms of the
Arab boycott against Israel.
"We are dismayed that the
administration's budget
proposal calls for the dele-
tion of two provisions to
fight the Arab boycott," Phil
Baum, associate executive
director of the American
Jewish Congress, said in a
statement protesting the
move.
