Promote greater U.S. interagency cooperation in implementing CBSI.
Promote greater U.S. interagency cooperation in implementing the Caribbean Basin Security Initiative (CBSI).
Occurrences
Evidence
House Foreign Affairs Committee held a markup on H.R. 4368, to authorize the Caribbean Basin Security Initiative.
Kaine’s CBSI amendment required an implementation plan to coordinate and track all activities among relevant federal departments and agencies.
Assessments
Kaine materially advanced the goal by offering a CBSI amendment that would require an implementation plan to coordinate and track federal agency activity. However, the evidence shows proposal and continued committee action, not enacted authorization or demonstrated implementation, so the promise was only partially fulfilled.
