[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Walter Kerr, Co-Executive Director, Unlock Aid:

“It's actually less than 10 percent of our foreign assistance dollars flowing through USAID is actually reaching those communities.“

That’s a nice he has an opinion. It doesn’t change the fact that the president cannot dissolve the agency without proceeding through Congress. Maybe Walter Kerr should call his congressman.[/quote]

Subsume, not dissolve.  You aren’t from around here, eh?[/quote]
Still not something that can be done without congressional approval.[/quote]

Not true. Nothing in the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 mandates that an independent agency take on foreign assistance. USAID was created by an executive order as the mode to implement the requirements of the act/law. But the Executive has immense discretion under the law to determine mode.  [/quote]

The current law provides for US AID to administer the Foreign Assistance Act and directs specific this that the administer of US AID should do. It's mentioned by name hundreds of times in the law.[/quote]
