Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Department of State Bulletin, Vol. 87: The Official Monthly Record of United States Foreign Policy; January-March, 1987
But in the meantime, our foreign policy with all of its forward thrust goes on, including our efforts with respect to Iran, with respect to the iran-iraq war, with respect to all of these matters, as we will be seeking in every way possible to pursue the President's objectives and bring them about. Turning to the subject of aid itself, this is a very important element in the total picture. And it represents an idea that's been around a long while - even longer than the 25 years and which has had a refreshing rebirth under the leadership of President Reagan. As I think about it, this idea that aid represents now goes back at least to lend-lease during World War 11. And we see its seeds in the Marshall Plan and derivatives of the Marshall Plan. We see it as part of the structure that was put in place by the great statesmen after World War II, from which emerged the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the other banks, and our bilateral assistance program. And it has done a lot of good. It's had its problems off and on but basically has been an extremely powerful force for good in the world.
