National Security
Security Assistance Act: Responsibly Tying Foreign Policy Budgets to Security Demands
by Helle Dale

The Security Assistance Act of 2011, which authorizes appropriations for the State Department for fiscal year 2012, represents a strong, back-to-basics answer to the Obama Administration’s overly ambitious attempts at redefining U.S. foreign relations. The bill’s aim is to tie American foreign affairs budgets to the country’s national security demands. Especially at a time of budgetary constraints, it only makes sense to refocus U.S. foreign policy and foreign aid on what is identifiably in the U.S. national interest. When Congress returns from recess, “back to basics” should be the mantra.
