Description

This discussion delves into the byzantine workings of the foreign aid and development apparatus of the United States. The U.S. Foreign Assistance Act, written in 1961, has not seen major reform for over three decades and the panelists discuss how aid legislation must be reworked for the realities of the present day to bring it in line with broader U.S. interests, especially national security. For further highlights on this panel, read the live blog. PANELISTS U.S. Representative John Boozman (R-AR), Member, House Committee on Foreign Affairs Richard Fontaine, Foreign Policy Advisor, McCain ’08 Jim Kolbe, Senior Transatlantic Fellow, German Marshall Fund of the United States Ambassador Andrew S. Natsios, Distinguished Professor in Practice of Diplomacy, Georgetown University Raymond Offenheiser, President, Oxfam America Vin Weber, Chairman, National Endowment for Democracy and Partner, Clark and Weinstock Honorable Michael Wilson, Canadian Ambassador to the United States Introductory Comments: J. Brian Atwood, Dean, Hubert H. Humphrey School of Public Affairs, University of Minnesota Moderator: Matthew McLean, Vice President, Millennium Challenge Corporation
