The report says U.S. House and Senate negotiators agreed to a compromise on foreign aid which eliminates an earmark for aid to Africa, but includes language saying the U.S. should "seek" to allocate funds that could result in Africa-related projects receiving approximately $600 million; in the 1995 fiscal year Africa received approximately $800 million. The report mentions a 25% cut in aid to Africa, funds for family planning, the Newly Independent States in Eastern Europe, the Development Fund for Africa, former President Ronald Reagan, and sustainable development targeting the poor.
