The Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998 created a new legal framework for better integrating arms control, public diplomacy and foreign assistance within US foreign policy. As it came into force April 1, 1999, the Secretary of State assumed direct authority over the Administrator of USAID. The Secretary provides foreign policy guidance to all U.S. foreign assistance programs. Operationally, USAID remains an independent statutory agency with a separate appropriation. In line with her authorities, and concerned over the effectiveness of U.S. humanitarian response to Mitch and Kosovo, the Secretary of State commissioned an interagency policy review of humanitarian and transition programs. In the spring of 1999, representatives of the Secretary of State and the USAID Administrator's Office conducted extensive discussions on the scope and purpose of the review. The review began in early July and concluded in December.
