USIA TO BE MERGED INTO STATE DEPARTMENT On October 1, 1999, the United States Information Agency will cease to operate as an independent agency and its operations will be folded into the State Department. While the possibility of this change had been discussed for the last several years, many were caught by surprise when the legislation making the shift possible was incorporated at the very last minute into the massive omnibus budget package signed by President Clinton on the last day of the 105th Congress' legislative session. While few specific details are known as to how the transition will occur, few immediate changes are expected in the way the J-1 Exchange Visitor Visa Program is administered. Some changes are known, however. For a more complete description of the proposed changes, please see the AILA-USIA meeting summary in story 11 of this issue entitled "HIGHLIGHTS OF NAFSA/AILA/AGENCY MEETINGS." < Back | Next >Disclaimer: This newsletter is provided as a public service and not intended to establish an attorney client relationship.
