    FORIMMEDIATERELEASE OCTOBER11,2011 CONTACT:MELISSAPRICE 5713661596 PRESS@IRDDC.ORG ARLINGTON, VA International Relief and Development (IRD), together with other international aid organizations, is trying to raise awareness of the importance of foreign aid as part of the U.S. federal budget. There is great debate around the country, and especially on Capitol Hill, on how best to reduce our national deficit and regain America's sound fiscal footing. The International Affairs budget has experienced deep cuts over the last year, and additional cuts are expected for FY2012. The programs funded by the International Affairs budget strengthen our national security, create American jobs, and boost US exports. They also demonstrate our humanitarian values and build goodwill for our nation, which translates into increased economic and political cooperation with the United States. On Wednesday, IRD President and CEO Dr. Arthur B. Keys, Jr., wrote a letter to Senator Patty Murray, Co-Chair of the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction. The Committee is charged with presenting a recommendation to the Congress on how best to reduce the deficit by at least $1.5 trillion over the next 10 years. The Committee must submit their recommendation by November 23, 2011, and the Congress will vote on the recommendation before December 23, 2011. Keys' letter asks Senator Murray to support a strong and effective International Affairs Budget and oppose disproportionately deep cuts to these programs that are so vital to America's leadership and global engagement.
