      "title": "Appropriations for FY2001: Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs",
      "summary": "The annual Foreign Operations appropriations bill is the primary legislative vehicle through\nwhich\nCongress reviews the U.S. foreign aid budget and influences executive branch foreign policy making\ngenerally. It contains the largest share over two-thirds of total U.S. international affairs\nspending. \n President Clinton asked Congress initially to appropriate $15.1 billion for FY2001 Foreign\nOperations, plus $1.25 billion in FY2000 supplemental funds. Congress approved some of the\nsupplemental spending in  P.L. 106-246 , but in October 2000 reconsidered and approved as FY2001\nemergency appropriations portions of the FY2000 supplemental rejected earlier. Consequently, the\ncombined FY2000 supplemental/FY2001 regular Foreign Operations request, as it stood when\nCongress debated the FY2001 Foreign Operations conference report in October, totaled $15.45\nBillion. The largest program increases for FY2001 were those for the Export-Import Bank (+26%),\nUSAID development aid (+18%), nonproliferation, terrorism, and demining (+44%), voluntary\ncontributions to international organizations (+45%), and multilateral development bank contributions\n(+24%).\n  S. 2522 , as approved by the Senate on June 22, provided $13.4 billion for FY2001\nForeign Operations Appropriations. The measure was about $65 million less than FY2000 enacted\nand about $1.7 billion, or 11%, below the President's initial FY2001 request. A major new initiative\nin  S. 2522  was the creation of a Global Health account ($691 million). Population aid\nwould have increased by $110 million and a new set of conditions on family planning programs\nwould have effectively eliminated the FY2000 abortion-related restrictions.\n  H.R. 4811 , as approved by the House on July 13, provided $13.3 billion, about\n$200 million less than the FY2000 enacted, and 13% less than the President's original request. The\nbill maintained the FY2000 funding level and abortion-related restrictions for family planning\nprograms. At $238 million, the bill provided most of the Administration's FY2001 request for debt\nrelief, but still fell well short of the combined FY2000/2001 debt reduction request of $472 million.\n On October 25, Congress approved the conference report on  H.R. 4811  ( H.Rept.\n106-997 ), increasing FY2001 Foreign Operations spending to $14.9 billion, well above levels passed\nearlier by either the House or Senate. The enacted legislation ( P.L. 106-429 ) falls about $550\nmillion, or 3.5% below the President's combined FY2000 supplemental/FY2001 requests, but fully\nfunds several top Administration priorities, including international debt relief and global health\nprograms. For international family planning, Congress increased spending to $425 million, but\nrestricted the obligation of funds until after February 15, 2001. Prior to the release of these funds,\nPresident Bush reimposed the so-called \"Mexico City\" abortion restrictions that apply to FY2001\nand future U.S. family planning appropriations",
