U.S. NGOs welcome foreign assistance transparency legislation, urge its passage

NGO alliance InterAction applauds Reps. Ted Poe (R-TX) and Gerry Connolly (D-VA) and Sens. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Ben Cardin (D-MD) for introducing the Foreign Aid Transparency and Accountability Act of 2013 (H.R. 2638/S. 1271) today. This important legislation would take several critical steps toward improving the way U.S. foreign assistance programs are conducted and monitored, the alliance said.
