6. Roles of the President, State Dept., and Congress
PRESIDENT: sets budgets for programs that are helpful for war on terrorism and foreign aid.
STATE DEPT.: has given congressional interest regarding the management in any possible future reform of U.S. and foreign aid programs, but director of foreign assistance has authority over state dept.
CONGRESS: beginning to re-shape our priorities, also keeps foreign aid focused on poverty reduction

7. Agree or Disagree?
We came to a consensus that we agree with the Foreign Aid Policy Solutions because it is helping other countries in need and if we weren’t a World Power we would most likely depend on a World Power Country to defend us and help us gain peace between ourselves and other countries.
