It is the sense of Congress that— the strategic delivery of foreign assistance is critical to supporting the United States’ interests around the world; foreign assistance furthers United States' national security priorities, advances United States' values, and ensures the United States is the partner of choice for areas such as defense procurement and economic investment in cutting edge scientific research; the administration of foreign assistance programming should be— managed by a qualified, competent Department of State official; and subject to strict congressional oversight pursuant to its constitutionally authorized power of the purse; and section 1413 of the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998 (Division G of Public Law 105–277 ; 22 U.S.C. 6563 ) codified into law the status of the United States Agency for International Development as an independent establishment outside of the Department of State.
