Washington (JTA) — The
pro-Israel community is
keeping a close eye on the
Clinton administration's
ambitious plan to revamp
foreign aid, as the proposal
begins to make its way
through Congress.
Designed to bring foreign
aid out of what the ad-
ministration considers an
obsolete Cold War aid struc-
ture, the plan would allow a
continuation of Israel's $3
billion annual installment of
U.S. foreign aid, at least for
now.
But despite this
reassurance, some backers of
Israel —while supportive of
the overall concept of foreign
aid reform —are concerned
about elements of the reform
plan.
For example, the
revamped aid plan would
switch from the decades-old
system of providing aid to
specific countries to a new
format whereby aid is
designated based on broad
international objectives.
The administration has
called for $21 billion in fiscal
_year 1995 on spending on
international affairs, of
which $14 billion would go
to foreign aid.
The objectives include
building democracy, pro-
moting sustainable devel-
opment and promoting
peace.
Aid for Israel and Egypt,
the Camp David countries, is
found under the "promoting
peace" category, and ac-
counts for the majority of aid
that would be disbursed in
that category under the ad-
ministration's plan.
The "promoting peace"
category totals $6.4 billion,
of which $5.5 billion would
go to regional peace and
security.
Egypt receives $2.1 billion
annually.
"The priority we attach to
peace in the Middle East is
reflected by the fact that our
request this year is $5.2
billion, $5.1 billion of which
would go for Israel and
Egypt, the same level as last
year," Secretary of State
Warren Christopher recent-
ly told the Senate Ap-
propriations subcommittee
on foreign operations.
