The House vote on February 17 proposes elimination of the Institute’s funding for the remainder of the fiscal year, and reflects the concern of all Americans, which we share, to bring the federal budget under control. The United States Institute of Peace, like all the federal government’s national security and foreign affairs institutions, knows that America’s spending must come under control.
