FISCAL YEAR 2011 BUDGET REQUEST FOR THE STATE DEPARTMENT WITNESS HON. HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON, SECRETARY OF STATE OPENING STATEMENT OF CHAIRWOMAN LOWEY Mrs. LOWEY. The Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs will come to order. The Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs is delighted to welcome to our subcommittee Secretary Clinton. As always, it is an honor to have you with us. Your dedicated service and tireless efforts have taken you to over 47—it is hard to believe—47 countries in just 1 year. Your hard work as our Na- tion’s chief diplomat is respected and appreciated and has had an enormous impact. After many years of decline, global attitudes about the United States are on the rise. According to the most re- cent Pew Research Center Survey, ‘‘The image of the United States has improved markedly in most parts of the world. In many coun- tries opinions of the United States are about as positive as they were at the beginning of the decade.’’ Our challenges are many, and your effective representation of the United States facilitates stronger multilateral partnerships to address global threats like instability in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, as well as Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Along with defense, diplomacy and development are essential ele- ments of our national security strategy. With this budget request, the administration seeks diplomacy and development funding lev- els that will result in longer-term savings as we transition from the military to civilians in Iraq and work to prevent instability by ad- dressing the root causes of conflict. But as we strive to foster great- er stability and security overseas through ‘‘smart power,’’ we face pressing domestic needs. While there are signs of recovery in the economy, with 10 percent unemployment, the mounting Federal debt and budget deficit, the creation of jobs and economic security for American families must be the primary focus of this Congress. There is no doubt that this will make it difficult to sustain and expand all the priorities laid out in the President’s budget request; however, I am optimistic that we can balance our domestic and international priorities.

And frankly, I am troubled by recent, SIGAR, SIGIR, OIG reports on democracy assistance and police training in Iraq, large power projects in Afghanistan, and development programs in FATA. The 2011 budget and 2010 supplemental requests for significant in- creases in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq require accountability to the U.S. taxpayer. Despite the difficult operating environments, to gain the trust and funding from this Congress, recommendations of the inspector generals should be implemented expeditiously. Madam Secretary, in this context we turn to the President’s fis- cal year 2011 budget request for the programs and activities within the jurisdiction of the State, Foreign Operations, and Related Pro- grams Subcommittee. At a total of $56.6 billion, it is $5.4 billion, or 11 percent, above the comparable fiscal year 2010
