INTRODUCTION
The U.S. Agency for International Development's (USAID) FY 1999 Congressional Presentation (CP) reflects the Administration's program and budget justification for the bilateral foreign assistance program.
The Main Volume of the CP document summarizes the budget request and discusses the programs and activities implemented through USAID's centrally funded programs and through the four geographic regions (Africa, Asia and the Near East, Europe and the New Independent States, and Latin America and the Caribbean).
Four regional annexes to the Main Volume discuss our programs in the geographic regions, including program narratives and activity data sheets. Annex I details programs and activities for Africa, Annex II details the programs for Asia and the Near East, Annex III details the programs for Europe and the New Independent States of the former Soviet Union, and Annex IV details the Latin America and Caribbean programs.
A separate volume of Summary Tables is included with this Congressional Presentation. These tables illustrate the foreign assistance budget request for FY 1999 and provide a detailed tabular breakout of the foreign assistance budget for FY 1997 (actual), FY 1998 (estimate), and FY 1999 (request) for the entire International Affairs (Function 150) account.
Finally, a separate Statistical Annex (Annex V) providing details for the USAID-managed programs will be submitted to the Congress following enactment of the FY 1999 appropriations.

TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES
On behalf of the U.S. Agency for International Development, I am pleased to transmit the Agency's request for authorization and appropriations for fiscal year 1999.
The economic and democratic development of other nations is directly in the interest of the United States. A more prosperous and democratic developing world is good for our economy, is vital to our strategic interests, and will help alleviate suffering and despair around the globe.
The following material and accompanying volumes describe in detail the Agency's programs, objectives and results.
