Note.--In FY 1998, staff and associated support costs for Educational
and Cultural Affairs will be funded in the Exchanges programs account.
The United States Information Agency conducts the international
informational, educational, cultural and exchange programs of the United
States and advises the President, the National Security Council, and the
Secretary of State on these matters. The Agency defines, explains, and
advocates U.S. policies abroad and seeks to increase knowledge and
understanding among foreign audiences of U.S. society and its values.
In 1996, the Agency completed a strategic plan and identified
preliminary goals, objectives and measurements for all key programs in
accordance with the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993. In
1998, USIA will continue to collect information on performance that will
be used to develop future budget requests.
Agency overseas information and cultural program operations and
support functions are financed from this appropriation and consist of
the following major elements.
Overseas missions.--The Agency currently operates 190 U.S.
Information Service posts in 140 countries. These USIS posts administer
exchange-of-persons programs and conduct informational and cultural
activities using, primarily, materials and programs provided by support
offices in Washington, D.C.
Bureau of Information.--This technologically advanced Bureau
supports U.S. foreign policy by means of instant and in-depth
communications with international opinion leaders and policy makers. The
Bureau provides information electronically through the Agency's World
Wide Web home pages, its daily Washington File and biweekly thematic
journals. It supports the Agency's U.S. foreign press centers and
overseas Information Resource Centers, which draw on databases and other
electronically delivered information. The Bureau supports U.S. speakers
and specialists at U.S. Information Service posts not only through
overseas travel, but also through interactive dialogues via telephone
and digitized video conferences. It also publishes pamphlets and other
printed materials for distribution to those who influence international
opinion.
Agency direction and management.--This activity includes managerial
staffs, research and centralized servicing functions for the Agency.
Administrative support from other agencies.--This activity covers
payments to the Department of State for USIA's share of the costs of
services provided for overseas operations, to the General Services
Administration for space and services provided under the Federal
building rent system, and payments to other agencies for services
provided.

This appropriation provides funding for programs authorized by the
Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961, as amended, to
support U.S. foreign, economic and security policy objectives by
fostering increased mutual understanding between the people of the
United States and other nations. Programs under this appropriation
include:
Academic Programs.--Includes the J. William Fulbright Educational
Exchange Program for the exchange of students, scholars and teachers
between the United States and foreign countries; Hubert H. Humphrey and
Edmund S. Muskie fellowship programs of academic study and internships
for mid-career professionals from developing countries and the Newly
Independent States of the former Soviet Union (NIS); graduate- and
postdoctoral-level Near and Middle East studies and research by U.S.
students and scholars; and programs in support of the study of the
United States in other countries designed to promote better foreign
understanding of the United States.
Professional/Cultural Exchanges.--Includes the International Visitor
Program which supports travel in the United States by emerging foreign
political leaders, professionals and educators to obtain firsthand
knowledge about the United States, its people, politics and culture; and
cooperative exchange programs with non-governmental organizations, such
as the Citizen Exchanges Program which awards grants to U.S. non-profit
organizations for professional, cultural, institutional, and grassroots
community exchanges with foreign counterparts; the Congress-Bundestag
Exchange Program; and other special programs.
NIS and SEED Exchanges.--Includes democracy and free-market
development programs for the exchange of students, scholars and
professionals between the United States and the NIS and Central and
Eastern Europe under the FREEDOM Support Act of 1992 and the Support for
East European Democracy Act of 1989.
Exchanges Support.--Includes staff and associated support costs
required to administer the programs noted above. It also provides
support costs for the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board,
binational centers, English teaching and other educational and cultural
activities. In the past several years, funding for these costs was
divided between the Salaries and Expenses and Educational and Cultural
Exchange Programs accounts. In 1998, funding for all staff and
associated support costs for programs managed by the Bureau of
Educational and Cultural Affairs is requested in this appropriation.
The Agency has developed a strategic framework for performance
measurement of Educational and Cultural Exchange Programs in accordance
with the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA). In 1998,
performance meas-
[[Page 1129]]
urement data will be collected, evaluated and used in policy
implementation and program management.
Finally, the Administration is taking steps to establish an Office
of U.S. Government International Exchange and Training Coordination in
USIA's Educational and Cultural Affairs Bureau. This office will lead an
effort to increase cooperation and eliminate duplication of effort among
over 35 Federal agencies that administer international exchange and
training programs.
