“No generalized HIV has already zeroed out by a preventive strategy, first, on the basis of condoms.”
Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ)
Washington, DC, May 3, 2008 / 01:40 pm (CNA) .- Representative Chris Smith, a Republican, New Jersey, says “mandatory” proof of the success of the HIV / AIDS transmission, prevention programs, to emphasize abstinence and encouraging faithfulness, condom before use.
According to Smith, 70% of the 33 million people living with HIV and 90% of the two million children infected with the disease live in sub-Saharan Africa.
Speaking Wednesday on the floor of the House of Representatives in the United States in support of a bill in 2008, the renewal of the President’s Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), said that the growth of recent reports have demonstrated the effectiveness of the Africa HIV / AIDS prevention program is based on at the promotion of positive behavioural changes.
“Five years after the first PEPFAR began, the effectiveness and the importance of the promotion of abstinence and ‘believers’ initiatives have been demonstrated. The proof is imperative, “said Smith.
PEPFAR, he said, based on the ABC model, which stands for “Abstain, Be faithful, use condoms.” Smith cited comments about the PEPFAR US State Department, USAID and the Department of Health and Human Services, said that the ABC model is now recognised as the most effective strategy for preventing HIV epidemics in a The legislation… the emphasis at the “AB ‘activities has been an important factor at the base and the need to move EPA prevention strategy in the first place by a” C “PEPFAR ABC approach to a balanced strategy . ”
Rep. Smith added that “the growing body of data, validation behavioral changes to encourage programmes of the CBA. Data from Zimbabwe and Kenya” the mirror of the old success of Uganda, the ABC approach to HIV prevention, “he noted.
Smith cites authorities on the comments, said: “These three countries with generalized epidemics,… have shown reductions in HIV prevalence, and in different countries, the data indicate significant differences between the attitudes are changing and AB modest, but significant changes to C. Where have changed sexual behaviour, as evidenced by an increase in primary and secondary education, abstinence, faithfulness and condom use, HIV prevalence has declined. ”
According to a February 2006 report in the journal “Science”, the rate of HIV / AIDS in the eastern regions of the Zimbabwe men aged between 17 and 29 fell by 23% between 1998 and 2003. Among women aged 15 to 24 years, infection rates of 49 percent.
The portion of the eastern part of Zimbabwe and 17 men aged 19, had sexual activity has decreased by 45 percent to 27 percent and among women aged 15 to 17, the rate rose from 21 per cent to 9 per cent.
The report showed, it seems the progress of “Be faithful” aspect of the ABC model. The proportion of sexually active males, non-partners decreased by 49 percent.
According to Smith, the Kenyan Ministry of Health estimates that the prevalence of HIV in the country, has fallen by more than 10 per cent in 1998 to about 7% during the year 2003.
Smith also refers to September 2007, the testimony of Dr. Norman Hearst before the Foreign Affairs Committee. Hearst, said: “Five years ago, I was on a mission of UNAIDS, a technical control, like condoms have worked well for the prevention of AIDS in the Third World.” After that he and his collaborators collected “mountains of data,” he said, “then we looked at the evidence of the impact of public health for condoms in generalized epidemics. To our surprise, we were unable to find. No generalized HIV has already zeroed out by a preventive strategy, first, on the basis of condoms. Instead, the few successes in their movements generalized HIV epidemics, such as Uganda, have not been achieved by condoms, but of human beings to change their sexual behaviour. ”
Hearst is also a consensus on the declaration on AIDS Lancet 150 experts said that the priority for adults should be the limit of his sexual partners, while the priority for young people should be prevented early sexual activity.
Smith then cited a 2nd March 2007 article in the Washington Post by Craig Timberg found that the negative effects of certain cultural practices in Africa south of Sahara. “Researchers are increasingly attribute the resistance of HIV in Botswana - and in southern Africa in general - the high incidence of multiple sexual relationships. Europeans and Americans often have multiple partners on their lives, their education, but sub Saharan Africans, on average, over the same time, “says the article.
“Researchers are increasingly agree that controlling behavior is the key to reducing the spread of HIV / AIDS in Africa”, the “Washington Post” article. The article cites Serara Selelo-Mogwe, an expert in public health and nursing at retirement, a professor at the University of Botswana, who said: “If you only say that condoms… we use are never the daylight, the virus leaves us. ”
The article explains that the Botswana AIDS programs used favoured by Western experts, whose experience has been marked by its study of the epidemic among gay Americans and Thailand closes. The anti-AIDS partnership between the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and drugmaker Merck spent $ 13.5 million condom protection of more than 25 times the amount spent on the development of dangerous behaviour. Botswana’s HIV infection rates continue to rise, and are now among the highest in Africa.
Smith also cited representatives of the American government an activity report for 2008 to Congress, who said, “perhaps the most important [development] over the past few years is the increasing number of States in which appears clearly on a decrease in the prevalence of HIV as a result of changes in sexual behaviour and behavioural change, it remains the foundation of success. ”
Smith’s comments on the results of the models’ success ABC of HIV / AIDS were on the floor House, as he spoke in favour of “Tom Lantos and Henry J. Hyde United States Global Leadership Against HIV / AIDS , Tuberculosis and Malaria New - Permitting Act of 2008, the renewal of the PEPFAR program, and to modify some of their policies.
The bill, Smith said, it would be necessary, the Global Fund for AIDS, coordinator for the “balanced funding for the prevention of sexual transmission, including abstinence, delay of sex scene, monogamy, fidelity and reduction partnership. “If less than 50 percent of the means of preventing the Abstinence and Be Faithful part of the ABC model, the law requires, the coordinator for the written justification. moment,” said Smith , the coordinator may not waive the requirements for notification of Congress.
Smith contends that the law would prevent 12 million new HIV infections in the world and the support of 3 million people, including about 450000 children. He said that the law would be the same for the 12 million people living with HIV / AIDS, including 5 million orphans, while trains and deployment of 140000 new health professionals and workers in prevention , treatment and care of the disease.
Smith representative also said that the conscience clause in the bill “reaffirms, to improve and extend the protection of conscience” for the organizations, so that they do not suffer discrimination and distribution of funds . Smith refers specifically to Catholic Relief Services as an agency under the conscience clause.

The program reimburses local governments and governmental agencies and nonprofit organizations for certain expenses and damages that occur during the reaction and the resumption of a disaster.
Wednesday, Hunton talked with federal and state on adding damage from the storm Monday, which caused the damage during the March 18th flooding, in the hope that the speed of the county increased, the number of minimum marks for the support of public opinion.

If there are problems, then, and we will try to fix it. ”
Although additional rain is expected this week, Hunton said he expects nothing more damage to the estimation of the total.
“If we still have 3 or 4 inches, we still have more questions to be addressed,” he said.
From Wednesday afternoon, the National Weather Service had a flash flood hours for Washington County, to convene a 80% chance of thunderstorms and heavy rains Wednesday night and today. A chance of 100 percent, heavy rain, the forecast for tonight. Forecasts for precipitation amounts are reaching between 3 and 4 cm.
“I believe that we qualify for state support at least” Hunton said. “We have to see if we have the support of the Confederation. That is the whole problem of damage assessment. Often, we can not say what damage is until you, and you can, for himself. ”
He added that the home is a pity also in the direction of Washington County requirements of the public support, as well as individual coaching. The program aids eligible, candidates for the temporary accommodation of aid, had no personal property and medical, dental and funeral expenses, natural disasters and other serious needs. Washington County has not yet been evaluated for the program.

And it is not washed away, “said Megan Williams, the director of the museum and gallery of Newfoundland, in an interview in the wake of the press conference.
ETS Sending works of art and artifacts between government Canadian galleries and museums, its creation in the 1970’s, until he went to the store yesterday. Managed by the Canadian Conservation Institute, an agency of the Department of Canadian Heritage, ETS users to pay the actual costs for shipping, trade exhibitions throughout the country, more affordable for the institutions that uses them.
Heritage last April, Canada announced that it would no longer be ETS for the 31st March 2008, because the Canada Revenue Agency had decided to move its specifically Truckern could no longer be used on the basis of a contract. When the program was to continue, lorry drivers should be hired as full-time employees, perhaps more than $ 100000 per year. Instead of renting Truckern and the additional costs of museums, cultural heritage of Canada, the program.
“This is why the department, whose nature to help Canadians to tell their stories. One of the best ways of doing so, will make presentations, and it is now in danger,” said Williams.
Although estimates vary, the public museum and directors agree that the private companies tend to cite more for the same work that the FTA. “We are starting in two to four shows to another in Canada each year, and the price of the watch roughly double movement,” said Williams. “In other words, we are less present here.
The rooms can be in most of the country’s geographical isolation, the major galleries and museums, but it is by no means alone in worrying that his isolation is unsustainable high transport costs in the future. The display of the room to 28 June is the issue, the head of the museum has come to the last issue entering ETS. Time and Space, “a collection of works by Canadian artists in the West, was organized by the University of Lethbridge Art Gallery, Southern Alberta, an institution whose top executives were also struggling to live accessible on businesses private.
Shawn Van Sluys, CEO of the Canadian Museum of Nature Directors’ organization, said that the federal government should do more, unless they have museums in preparation for the conversion. “They must be aware that the denial of lifting the ETS is a problem.”
A spokesman said Canadian Heritage Department in the run seminars collaborators museum shows how works of art itself cash. In addition, Charles Drouin, said: “He was of the view that the private sector, the situation would be at the helm.”
The director of the largest shipping company said Art private, the price differentials between ETS and its business are lower than have been reported. Star Mark Ling, executive director of Pacart, based in Toronto, a company that specializes in transporting art, “said the shipping price will ultimately with private museums as public institutions, the private sector, more frequently. Starling, said his company is already reducing their costs through a combination of jobs, that their trucks across the country.

I recently deceased thoughts about my grandmother by the stories of lean periods, during and after the global economic crisis. She and my grandfather was happy: it manages for his work. They had a house and a large garden and a cow for milk.
But the earth had fallen for so many others in America, and often desperate man was in the kitchen door, demanding food or milk or a little work, my grandmother said. That is the way it was done. If you need help to get there was in the kitchen, a door of the house, and the people who have lived shared what they could.
I wonder whether the poor and vulnerable in our kitchen today is about charity.
Social protection in all created and maintained by the Government in the years following the Great Depression as a civil servant is geschreddert withdrew households for a wide range of social programs, motivated by both taxpayers requests for tax breaks and ” an economic downturn, government revenue squeezing Streams. Just in the last week or so, these titles appeared in the newspaper: For more notches for children, health can go deep incisions; Addicts likely to lose, using, “Lifeline” to say, aid agencies for the weather.
Among those who would be affected by these funding reductions proposed are residents of rest homes, people who have suffered catastrophic illnesses, todkranken Medicaid patients, homeless families, parents with low incomes, with the government-subsidized programs child care, alcohol and drug addicts into treatment and care programs for children.
Supporters of the smallest to the logic of the government, the part of this material. They want their government to focus on public safety - police, firefighters, “Homeland Security - and the courts and prisons, water and wastewater, and other services for the Account of law. To them, the role of government.
But especially in times like these - when the economy was acidified, exceeding inflation is the content of cheques, it is not affordable, housing, health insurance and medical care is too expensive for many jobs are outsourced abroad, and food and gas prices are soaring - People who can not do, to his government for the assistance and stunned, to find it, not alone.
The private sector, non-profit social programs have also been an integral part of America’s social safety net, but they were not able to help all these leave time that the government withdraw its support. Nonprofits in our region indicate that businesses and individual donations, and there are contributions to local government nonprofits. However, the number of people who demonstrated in support grows.
Look at the crisis as such an agency, which Willa Health Resource Center in Carson, a non-profit organization that badly needed health care to thousands of poor people in Clearwater since 1995. Conditions there as saying that the Centre we have three days of the week and $ 40000 in red blood cells. Last year, a $ 50,000 contribution from the government has been reduced, and the Pinellas County government can their contribution to the reduction of the Health Centre. Nonprofits all about our region hear the same bad news from their sources of funding.
“In October (the beginning of the next fiscal year), they are going to see a large number of nonprofits close,” predicted Linda Osmundson, directs the abuses committed by the national CASA, a nonprofit organization in St. Petersburg.
Zivilisierten company must be a way of giving a view in hand, must be those that help to survive the bad times. But social reconstruction of America by the government in all programs have been eliminated and nonprofits have closed their doors will be neither easy nor quick. Today, when people go when they are hungry and desperate for help? Our doors of the kitchen?

The sluggish economy has left Governor David Paterson proposing dozens of cuts in funding to state agencies in the upcoming budget. In a Capital News 9 exclusive, we have obtained the list of programs identified as under the knife.
In upstate New York, the cuts affect a wide section of ity and state programs, including funding for immigrants to obtain citizenship, the cost of providing food stamps, and tuition help for college students.
Paterson had proposed total cuts of about $800 million as the state wrestles with a nearly $5 billion deficit in a budget due Tuesday. His own office will see budget cuts, as well, although a spokesman said they haven’t been specified.
State lawmakers are now determining which programs should stay and how the state can pay for them. So far, little information has emerged.
More information is expected by Sunday evening, when legislative leaders return to the Capitol. Paterson has remained optimistic that the budget will be finished on time. Of the cuts, a spokesman said:
“Given the rapidly deteriorating economic climate and the need to enact a timely and fiscally responsible spending plan, the Governor proposed modest across the board reductions that will protect the state’s finances in this difficult economic climate and will require all governments, including the state, to manage more efficiently.”

Nakia Adams said she was gripped by fear and confusion when her ex-boyfriend continued to violate an order of protection she had obtained from a Cook County judge.
It wasn’t until she turned to Family Rescue, an agency that serves victims of domestic violence, that she started to feel more in control.
But recent cuts in government funding and other sources of support have forced Family Rescue and other Illinois agencies that assist victims of domestic violence to scale back services and turn people away. At a news conference Thursday in Rolling Meadows, agencies warned that new cuts in federal funding—estimated to be nearly $4.6 million for Illinois—would result in more reductions in assistance.
Family Rescue, based in Chicago, helped Adams, 27, navigate the court system and provided counseling to her children. When she feared for her life last month, it referred her to a nearby shelter.
“Family Rescue really helped me protect myself,” Adams said in an interview this week.
Although the number of domestic-violence homicides has declined nationwide, the need for help is growing, advocates say.
Last year, Illinois courts granted more than 60,000 orders of protection. Each day, 600 requests for help in Illinois go unmet, said the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.

SAN FRANCISCO-The United States security authorities Ramping review and implementation efforts at airports and seaports, one might expect that shippers less susceptible to theft and terrorism. They do so at your own risk, “said a leading security specialist.
“With more control over air freight and ocean shipping, criminals are now concentrating on other areas of Supply Chain,” said Bob Frucci, national director of development for the CGM Applied Security Technologies Inc Farmingdale, New Jersey “Motor Carrier at the Open - Route and objectives that the head of the last few days,” he added.
After Frucci, the attacks have migrated from Canada and constitute a growing threat for heavy trucks and through Warehousing.
“The priority groups of criminals of the worst elements of the Mafia and gang members,” he said. “With terrorism thrown randomly in”
CGM, a manufacturer of “threat-based” products such as security and support of locks, different chargers with other mechanisms of protection. But Frucci even said that his company, the supply will not be sufficient without a phased approach to implementation.
“Government, the legislature has only begun to understand how the coordination required for this type of solution,” he said. “However, quantity is the basis of reacting to events as they occur.”
The National Industrial Transportation League, for example, has recently said that the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP), while security goals set in the Commission Regulatory Agency proposed tasks on the eve of trade data the program known as “10 2″, a lot of questions and concerns, such as the programme will work in practice.
Air Cargo shippers, are now concerned about the laws, which controls 100 per cent. Frucci, said that fear is justified.
“The laws of all the guardians of these security measures in place, but not his finger on the pulse of illegal activities,” he said. “It takes constant vigilance and flexibility to respond to sudden changes in the strategy. Criminals, people are very adaptable.

This article is an adaptation of Eric Lichtblau’s next book, Bush’s Law: The Remaking of American Justice, which will be released next Tuesday, April 1st, the Pantheon. He and fellow New York Times, James Risen, journalist won 2006 Pulitzer Prize for pioneers in the history of the National Security Agency’s interception.
For 13 months, we would rather than a publication of the Bush administration on the biggest secrets. Finally, one afternoon in December 2005, as my editors and I waited with interest in an elegant living room in the White House, we were back on the year with President Bush’s top aid plead his case: why our newspaper should not tolerate the public know that the president had authorized the National Security Agency, in apparent contradiction of federal law, listening, Americans belauschen without trial warrants. As editor of the New York Times, Bill Keller, Washington Bureau Chief Phil Taubman, and I waited for our meeting, we were still not sure how that would be up to the president. Dick Cheney was thinking of coming to the meeting, but eventually its own relations with the precariousness of the press could, in fact, the White House hindering efforts to halt publication. (He was probably right.) Given that open the door to the conference room, but a number of others in the White House VIP gebummelt say hello, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, close to the head of the line reception and White House Counsel Harriet Miers on the back.
For more than an hour, and we said Bush’s aides, what we knew on listening to the program, and she told us why it is serious harm to national security to let someone else on secrecy . Look at the financial damage indicates that mobile phones have participated in the program, by an official. If terrorists were on listening to the program, it would be unnecessary and should be made immediately closed, another official said, “It’s all marble.” The risk to national security was incalculable, the White House said VIP , Star their voices, their faces drawn. “enemy,” warned an official, “inside of the door.” Stereotypes have their work, the message was clear: When the New York Times went one far and has published this story, we would hand, the debt for future terrorist attacks.

From the Federal Agency for all programs that are already under attack, perhaps nothing more ridiculous beschimpfte or more above the national average of helium reserves, here on the plateau Texas Panhandle. It is a collection of pumps and pipes and reservoirs, and most importantly, look amazing amount of helium: 31 billion cubic feet, enough for current needs Bundesanstalt für 100 years.
Erstaunlicherweise”dumm, as well as government standards,”PJ O’Rourke, the conservative humorist, programming said that the forces of buying federal authorities of helium at prices from the reserve. The affiche”L’enfant government waste,’’said Christopher Cox, Member of Congress from California, led the fight to get rid of this veritable Fort Knox of helium.
But now that President Clinton signed a law that the government of helium and business from the sale of helium reserves of the nation to private industry, which has long called for as helium, it can be less expensive to provide agencies such as NASA, the question is filming - Outside, it is that something more complicated. In a demonstration, other than by a reduction of the Federal budget is rarely as simple and easy as it seems, some experts have even dared to say: maybe helium reserve was not as stupid an idea, after everything.
The jury is not yet on how to save a lot of money because of the closure of the institution in the vicinity, in part because the new law, for reasons that might prove that even for a large Nobel Prize economy, the government still requires To pay a price for helium. In some of the first private contracts to provide helium, irritated National Aeronautics and Space Administration officials noted that the price of about $ 70 per thousand cubic feet, is roughly the same pay for the helium from the reserve.
The American Physical Society, a group of physicists, warned against the abolition of helium nation is deeply stocks in the short term. Although most people may think that the thing that fill helium balloons and airships, it is essential to respond to all types of scientific activities, including space. For future generations, scientists say it is vitally important for the development of superconducting power lines, magnetgelagerten trains, new kinds of engines and generators and technology had not even dreamed of.
Nobody is predicting that the government of helium operating in the country tumbleweed about 25 miles north of Amarillo, revitalized by magic. ”Everything you see here - it’s all going to go,’’said Robert Robertson, an operator of the facility in the control of the chamber. ”The death warrant has been signed.”
Nevertheless, even summary, the review of the privatization of the Federal Agency for helium-program that the President of the setting in motion, when the law a year ago, said that so far, instead of save money, has led to a chaotic accounting dilemma, The advantages of is not yet clear.
Because the companies are so large, the law requires that the helium in a massive under-Dome, should be sold slowly, over the next two decades, so as not to disrupt prices on the world market growing He. And in what, in fact, create a secondary market in government, agencies helium led higher than the market price, the price of helium to be sold in the entire Pay-$ 1, 4 billion debt””Preservation of helium-Kumulierten program since President John F. Kennedy helped start in 1960 - so that the nation’s space program would have a reliable supply.
But because the debt is due in fact that money from place to place another government, and it is out of paper in the background a transaction that has the effect of helium-Ledger reserve. The Congressional Budget Office has already decided that the payment of the debt of helium-program will do nothing to reduce the public debt, which is currently at 5.3 trillion dollars.
The Bottom-Line is, of course, how much money the government saves by buying helium by private operators such as Exxon Corporation. The Advisory Board of helium, industry group, has vigorously lobbying for privatization, it is not easy to calculate the rescue, in part because the new law is not yet the way Privatization of the genuine programme of helium, Reviendrait for sale at market prices.

If the Clinton administration has recently announced, to relax restrictions on the export of data Scrambling software, a central problem, which had escaped Recalling that the new guidelines pertain only folienverschweißt software, not the original source code - the lines instructions, programmers who write. When it comes to source code, under the Secretary of Commerce for Export Administration, William A. Reinsch, said last week dass”hat not changed.”
The exclusion of the source code for the threat of conduct relaxed, software developed by the so-called Open Source model, including the Linux operating system, a competitor of Microsoft’s Windows Emporkömmling.
Linux and other free software programs are loose-knit coalition of programmers in the world, the exchange of source code. Many of these teams have little error free software in part because access to the source code allows everyone to find programmers, colleagues’ error, improving the effectiveness of the program, bug fixes and add new features.
Before software, which in all programming languages today’s more demanding on a computer, it must be compiled an operation to translate the text of the source code into combinations of ones and zeros that can be understood by a micro - processor. Once a program is compiled, it is almost impossible to determine what the original source code. Thus, it can not be modified or adapted, unless other developers the source code itself published.
This is done with the costume government intelligence and law enforcement, a concern that access to the source code for encryption and security software would enable terrorists, drug traffickers and other criminals to develop communication networks secure , the agents would not be able to.
In May, Attorney General Janet Reno wrote to the German Justice Minister, Herta Daubler-Gmelin, to require, for their help when writing new regulations for the control of the distribution of source code encryption software through the Internet.
Paradoxically, the government is increasingly on open source software for the security of communications networks, the government is to protect the privacy of citizens or secrets. It should be noted, a cousin of Linux, OpenBSD, known as the Government which is very popular because of its agencies Development Team little rigorous security audits to anticipate and plug the holes, the attackers may use the ‘entrance.
Admittedly, it is logical that the hidden codes in the software compiled, offer more security than anyone can read the code, many experts argue that the opposite is true. Open Source, they say, is safer, in the end, because the people writing security software know exactly how they work to protect systems.
Theo de Raadt, leader of the OpenBSD development team, said last week that his group “software has been purchased by many laboratories and government agencies.”I went to the bottom of the list,”he said, and”it contains hundreds of them.”He refused, the names of agencies, but said it is fair to assume that the list of some of the governments, Délibérée most security operations .
OpenBSD is also used as the basis for many applications. For example, Network Flight Recorder, which is based in Washington, is a device that activity on a network for the monitoring of data packets indicate that the suspects or banned.
The problem is that the government, definitions, OpenBSD is the third party software. Mr. de Raadt, lives in Calgary, Alberta, and employs many Canadian programmers to improve security. He said that the liberal rules of the Canadian government has allowed his team to absolute safety without fear that the government would fix it. The CD-ROM contains OpenBSD label,”Made in Canada, the country free of cryptography.”
But the Internet and software development are opposed to the concept of national borders. OpenBSD was born at the University of California at Berkeley (BSD means Berkeley Software Distribution). Mr. de Raadt, the Push to enhance security, using the software in Canada, could not be implemented by developers in the United States.

The $ 2.13 trillion budget plan that President Bush will send to Congress on Monday for the first time formally assessed the performance of government agencies and programs and to a certain extent, the financing of which links to the notes they receive, management officials say.
Based on an internal review of the White House Office of Management and Budget, the budget gives the wrong uniformly to all notes in the firm services into five categories of management, including human resources and finance. The detailed programmes-out in the Departments of praise, criticism and related costs increased or decreased.
The Department of Energy’s fossil energy research and development programs were judged ineffective, and has twice reduced its budget to $ 58 million from $ 101 million, a reduction of 43 percent. The Division of Agriculture 5600 system county offices had been closed without effect and that its budget had risen to more than 2 percent, or $ 59 million, probably not enough to take inflation.
But the National Weather Service hurricane and tornado-warning program has been a great success, and management is based on an increase in budgetary resources for the $ 32 million or 4.2 percent.
The workload has grown from a campaign promise of Mr. Bush to make government more accountable for their performance, and follows similar efforts in Congress to find ways of action for bang for the taxpayers of liability.
It includes the ideological pressure of many Republicans, including E. Mitchell Daniels Jr., director of the Budget of the White House, filtering, what they consider to be wasteful duplication, and ineffective programs in your reader, the size of government.
But with the disappearance of the budget surplus, the burden of managing a base, freezing or reducing programs to make room for its two priorities, the increase in spending for the military and the consequences of terrorist attacks and called for a new round of tax cuts, at the care of the economy.
Although the Pentagon has been assessed to have serious weaknesses in the five categories of the management scorecard, in the budget, Mr. Bush is calling for $ 48 billion in new spending for the army, the largest increase since the Reagan administration.
The five categories of personnel, to maintain competition with the costs, finance, management, the use of technology to enhance the effectiveness, efficiency and coordination of funding programs they receive.
Defeating”terrorisme International and the defense of the Americans in our country are not necessarily tasks of Confederation, the condition of all its other activities,”Mr. Bush’s budget proposal says. ”We have to increase the funds for other programs needed, and without that total expenditure increase unacceptable. We must demonstrate the value of low-priority programs.”
Democrats said that the initiative would be skeptical to Congress, where Mr. Daniels relations with members of both parties were asked by the campaign to maintain its expenditure.
Scott Lilly, the director of personnel for the Democrats on how House Committee, said that based budgeting and performance was all the more crucial that Congress and the executive were eager to reach.
But”the idea that Mitch Daniels, with an analytical, objective of the new standard there, to learn about household expenses, simply, how people do their jobs, it is not credible, Sir,’’said Lilly.
Other experts said the budget was the problem is not so much because it was about ideology, for a long time, the tussle between the Congress and the executive branch on the power of the purse.
”This is a good approach, but it has a lot of things, as is the case in the past, tried without success,’’said Bill Frenzel, a former Republican member of Congress from Minnesota, his party was management representative in the House Budget Committee.
Congress”of the rule, in a sense, to distort their priorities,’’said Mr. Frenzel,”fear that the standards are unfavourable for departments, the preferences of some members of Congress. “
