Timely Discussion on U.S. Global Engagement Policy
First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to address diverse
coalition representing millions of Americans that support
preserving U.S. global leadership
Why:
American global leadership needs to be maintained now more than ever
with instability and hardship brewing overseas. The U.S. international
affairs budget helps protect our national security, stimulate economic growth
and jobs, alleviate human suffering and promote humanitarian interests.
Still, the U.S. cumulative international affairs budgets proposed in Congress
for FY2000 are dangerously low, slated to drop to less than one penny of
every federal dollar spent, a 30% drop in real dollars since 1986.
What:
A rally, cosponsored by the Campaign to Preserve U.S. Global Leadership
and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, to promote continued U.S. global
engagement abroad and demonstrate domestic support for needed
international affairs funding.
The Campaign to Preserve U.S. Global Leadership is a unique coalition
comprised of nearly 250 organizations -- representing millions of Americans
ranging from prominent businesses, to ethnic, humanitarian and environmental
groups. Together, these diverse groups are the core of a domestic
constituency for U.S. foreign policy engagement.
Who:
The First Lady, Hillary Rodbam Clinton, Keynote Speaker
Vance Coffman, Chairman and CEO, Lockheed Martin Corporation
Lydia Marshall, Chair of the Board, CARE

Diverse Allies Unite Behind Strong International Affairs Budget to Protect U.S. Global
Leadership
Washington, D.C. At a crucial moment in the discussion about the U.S. role
internationally, a diverse coalition of nearly 250 business, humanitarian, and ethnic organizations,
called the Campaign 10 Preserve U.S. Global Leadership, rallied squarely behind maintaining U.S.
global engagement. The-First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton and a wide-ranging group of allies,
including Lockheed Martin Corporation, American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC),
CARE, EarthVoice, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce joined hands, TO voice their support for a
strong international affairs budget as a means to preserving U.S. global leadership.
That was the message delivered by the coalition to Capitol Hill where cuts to the
international affairs budget for fiscal year 2000 are being considered within the overall budget
framework being discussed on Capitol Hill this week. The Campaign's leaders pledged to speak out
on the side of a strong international affairs budget and strong U.S. global leadership. In total, the
Campaign represents millions of Americans, comprising a diverse domestic constituency.
Current events underscored the timeliness of the discussion and made for an interesting
paradox, comparing the isolationist tendencies associated with cutting back the international affairs
budget with the desperate need for resources and U.S. leadership associated with the human crisis
unfolding in Kosovo. In that context, the First Lady and other leaders explored the obligations of the
United States as a global leader.
"As the sole remaining superpower in a world linked to political and economic instability
and regional conflicts, the United States has an obligation to lead and that leadership requires
resources," said Mrs. Clinton. "Despite the tremendous effort of the organizations and businesses
you see represented here and the generous hearts of the American people, that just isn't enough. We
need strong leadership that comes with a strong international affairs budget and a strong
commitment by the United States government."
According to Vance Coffman, Chairman and CEO of Lockheed Martin Corporation, U.S.
investment in the international affairs budget benefits U.S. interests directly as well. "The
importance of the U.S. role in promoting democracy, market reform and the rule of law overseas
cannot be overstated. Our national security interests do not stop at our borders. and a strong and
stable international marketplace is increasingly important to U.S. workers. The programs supported
by the international affairs budget help to bring economic and political stability to otherwise volatile
regions of the world where the absence of a strong U.S. presence might lead to more significant costs
in the future like what we're sceing in the Balkans."
According to AIPAC President Lonny Kaplan, "spending one percent of our budget on
foreign affairs programs is not too great a burden for the greatest country in the world. At one
percent, foreign aid is an essential, cost-effective tool for enhancing U.S. security, supporting

humanitarian objectives, stabilizing the economies of fledgling democracies and promoting open
markets and free trade." Kaplan added, "I am deeply concerned that the current cuts envisioned for
the 2000 budget could threaten U.S. obligations overseas and place the U.S. rule as a world leader in
jeopardy.
In a letter personally delivered to members of Congress, the Campaign made clear that the
cumulative international affairs budget they supported for fiscal year 2000 would require investing
just one penny of each federal dollar spent in international affairs programs. The House and Senate
have each proposed steep cuts, pushing total international affairs spending well below one percent of
the entire federal budget.
For Lydia Marshall, Chair of the humanitarian relief organization, CARE, disaster
underscores two things: Americans' generosity and the need for strong U.S. leadership. CARE has
been on the ground providing assistance in Honduras after the damage done by Hurricane Mitch and
is currently assisting the refugees in Kosovo. According to Marshall, the magnitude of these
disasters reiterates the desperate need for government resources in addition to private donations.
"Americans' compassion for others has always reached beyond borders - whether they be
political, religious, ethnic or cultural," said Marshall. "Through their support of private
organizations such as CARE, Americans' have shown their willingness to make a difference in the
lives of people far away. But private organizations cannot do this alone - it must continue to be a
partnership among the American people, the humanitarian community and the U.S. government."
###
Now in its fifth year, the Campaign to Preserve U.S. Global Leadership enjoys significant
support nationwide and has received overwhelming praise from elected leaders on both sides of the
aisle. The Campaign is dedicated to supporting a strong international affairs budget and promoting
U.S. global engagement. It is comprised of nearly 250 businesses and organizations -- representing
millions of Americans - ranging from aerospace, telecommunications, chemical and financial
industries to ethnic organizations and development, humanitarian and environmental groups.

DRAFT --Remarks to Campaign to Preserve U.S. Global Leadership
April 13, 1999
Thank you. I want to thank you for inviting me to this special gathering of such an exceptional
group of organizations and business leaders.
I want to thank Joel Johnson (President of the Campaign to Preserve U.S. Global Leadership) for
bringing this incredible coalition together for the Campaign's First Ever Washington Day. I want
to thank U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Thomas Donohue for co-sponsoring this event. I
want to thank CEO of Lockheed Martin Vance Coffman. I want to thank Board Chairwoman of
CARE Lydia Marshall and AIPAC President Lonny Kaplan. (All on dais) And Senator Smith who
I know was here earlier (not confirmed yet, but if comes will have left by the time she gets there).
I want to congratulate this year's winner of the Global Leadership Award, Elizabeth Silverstein.
(Due to health, she may not be present). I too thank her for her leadership and vision.
I want to speak today about what you have done, why it has always been important, and why I
would argue it is even more important today. [Kosovo?] Although you come from all across the
country, across political lines, from industries to charities, from not-for-profit organizations to some
of our nation's largest corporations, you have come together with one voice and a common
understanding -- that in a democracy all of us need to be aware of our role in the world and,
particularly as citizens of the United States, we need to know more about what is happening around
the world and we need to lend our voices to the events, discussions and debates that are occurring.
And you come together during one of the most complicated times in international relations. As we
end this 20th century, we are living in what is called, for want of a better description, the post-Cold
War era. That means that we know where we've been, and we sort of know where we are, but we're
not sure where we're going. The world has changed so rapidly in less than a decade that we have
had little time to catch our breath, let alone change our strategies and institutions to meet the new
challenges ahead.
As often happens in a time of rapid change, there is a natural inclination to draw inward a bit and
pull back from the obligations around us while we take stock --to think that maybe there isn't much
we can accomplish and we should just attend to business at home. Yet every day we see how
profoundly interconnected --even interdependent --we are in this new era of globalization.
Whether we are pessimistic or optimistic about the forces of globalization, those forces are here to
stay. They are a fact. We cannot stop the clock. As you all know, we can't do away with
computers, or cut off the Internet, or prevent jet travel from occurring, or stop the mass media from
bringing messages of different cultural ideas to remote parts of the world. And as my husband has
said on several occasions, the United States can not pretend to be an island of prosperity in this
global economy.
But what we can and must do --and what the Campaign has been doing so effectively since 1995
-- is to help ourselves, our Congress, and our fellow citizens understand the stakes we have in
building the stable, prosperous, democratic world. Whether we are working on multi-lateral actions
like peace-keeping or preserving the global environment; ensuring that women and girls have access
to education and health care to providing loans to help poorer nations succeed in lifting up their
people --we are not only engaged because we care about the rest of the world, but we are engaged
because it is in our interests to do so.
I have been privileged in the last several years to travel, both with my husband and on my own,
around the world. I have been in many parts of the world where I have seen first-hand the newly
emerging democracies begin to take hold, find their footing, stumble, regain their footing, and try
to go forward. And I have also been heartened by how resilient the forces of progress seem to be.
I recently returned from a trip to Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco. In all of those countries, whether
I was meeting with students or political leaders, talking with women business owners in a local
market or families who just had moved in to modern homes, I saw first-hand how those societies
are responding to the tremendous challenges they face --and how important it is that the United
States has been engaged there.
Today, as Congress is once again involved in discussions about appropriations, we must ask just
how will we continue to be engaged? Will we take on the responsibility that has fallen to us?
Over the last several years, after very hard and long struggles, we have made some progress in
meeting the President's goals of upholding our responsibilities in the world. Thanks in large part
to your incredible efforts over the past four years, you have helped to stem the tide of
disproportionate cuts to the international affairs budget and secure vital money for international
programs, including a $1 billion increase in spending in FY 1998 and a $2 billion increase in FY
1999. In FY 1999, we won our full request to replenish the IMF; more funding for Peace Corps;
more assistance for the newly independent states.
But we also suffered defeats. Last year, once again, Congress refused to pay our debts to the United
Nations. And overall we have to recognize that development assistance is at some of the lowest
levels since World War II. In real dollar terms, USAID's budget is 30 percent lower than it was in
1982. Total foreign affairs spending is down 43 percent from 1982 in real dollars.
And I am very disappointed that so far the House and Senate Budget Committees have chosen not
to honor the President's FY 2000 budget requests to increase spending on international programs
funding and instead slashed funding to historic lows during their committee mark-ups last month.
Because I have seen, as many of you have, how there can be a real difference made in the lives of
people with a relatively small amount of assistance. We obviously are putting our major focus on
increasing trade and investment, but assistance often goes hand-in-hand in making trade and
investment successful and in creating a climate in which that can thrive.
I have seen from Nicaragua to Uganda how small loans, for example, subsidized and backed by our
government through USAID for the non-for-profit sector, encouraged by our government, have
transformed the lives of poor women and improved the living standards of entire communities. I
have met, in places like Bolivia, with expectant mothers learning how to care for themselves and
their babies in a primary health care center run by an NGO with government support, again because
of the help we provided. And in many of the newly independent states I have seen how the difficult
transition to free-markets and democracy has been supported as well by our development efforts.
But the other side of the coin is that I have seen what happens when we have not come forward.
When we have not exercised the leadership that we should.
And we know that in opinion poll after opinion poll, Americans say when asked, that they want to
help people overseas. But then they're asked how much money do you think we spend on foreign
assistance, time after time, in poll after poll, Americans say they think we spend between 10 and
15 percent of our national budget. Now, of course, you know that economic and humanitarian
assistance abroad makes up less than one-half of one percent of the federal budget. And the United
States lags behind all other industrialized nations when foreign assistance spending is considered
as a percentage of GNP.
So how do we explain this paradox of an American public that supports an effective engagement,
yet believes we are already spending far more than we are in bringing that about? Well, one of the
roles that the Campaign has taken on is to get the facts to the American public. To do away with
the misperceptions, to clear the air, and to try to get a clear channel to people so that the discussion
about what we should be doing and what our responsibilities are can be carried out accurately. And
the tireless work that you have done --through hundreds of meetings and thousands of letters and
telephone calls --to educate hundreds of Members of Congress and their constituents has already
been very important to that effort.
But we have a lot of work ahead of us if we are going to prevail in sending our message to Congress
and ensuring that the President's budget request is met. And that is why I am so pleased that you
have come to Washington today. We need to do much more to try to make sure that those numbers
of Americans who intuitively know we should be engaged and leading and cooperating with other
nations get the facts straight SO that they then can interact with and discuss with their representatives
why they support many of the international programs.
Today we have an opportunity to explain clearly the advantages of engagement around the world.
We have an opportunity to make the case for how foreign assistance creates all kinds of obligations
and opportunities that we can meet. How it helps us nurture and sustain democracies, strengthens
economies and open markets for American goods and services. How it ensures our security in the
face of new threats --especially with the spread of infectious diseases, pollution, global climate
change, population growth or the flight of refugees.
And we should talk about what our foreign assistance does, not in the abstract, not in percentages,
or even in dollars, but with the stories, the down-to-earth stories that actually occur in village after
village. So every time we talk about the need to help nations make the difficult transition to
democracy and free-market economies, I hope we will humanize and personalize it SO Americans
have a better idea of what we're talking about.
I'm convinced that if Congress and all Americans have the information that you do, they will
support your efforts, and they will understand why investing in foreign affairs programs is an
integral part of the kind of leadership that we expect to exercise in the 21st century and to the
building the future we dream of for our children.
Thank you for all that you have done and all that you continue to do.
