AFTER 45 YEARS America's foreign bilateral assis tance program lies dead in the water. Its principal . flagship, the United States Agency for International Development, has become a dispirited bureaucracy lacking leadership, resources and rationale. Rather than burden usaid with yet more policy reversals and program redirections?as happened after each pivotal change in electoral politics during the last thirty years?the best approach the Clinton adminis tration can take is to scuttle America's bilateral aid program and begin anew with a concise, clearly defined initiative to promote environmentally sound forms of economic growth. The American public's present disenchantment with foreign aid cannot be overstated, and this is not just a matter of aid being juxtaposed with competing domestic priorities. What this sour mood underscores is that the nation's political dis course offers neither rationale nor constituency for traditional aid-giving. Periodic electoral changes have resulted in ideologically inspired shifts in aid policy, as in the abrupt tilt toward free market development after 1981 and the beginning of the Reagan years. Couple this with usaid's long subservience to Cold War calculations, particularly to anti-Soviet strategies that compelled support for authoritarian regimes, and the result is a jumble of activities without coherent purpose
