Beginning with an August 16 memorandum from Acting AID Administrator Roderic O’Connor to Under Secretary Johnson, AID persistently called attention to the need for decisions on how the foreign assistance reduction was to be handled. Was the reduction to be in outlays, new obligations, or budget authority? Were supporting assistance and programs dealing with refugee assistance in India and Pakistan exempt as they were not “foreign economic aid in the regular sense”?
