   To require a General Accounting Office study of duplication among 
                certain international affairs grantees.
    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE STUDY OF DUPLICATION AMONG CERTAIN 
              INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS GRANTEES.

    (a) Study of Certain Grantees for Duplication of Functions.--The 
Comptroller General of the United States shall conduct a study on the 
purposes and activities of the North/South Center, East-West Center, 
Asia Foundation, and the National Endowment for Democracy on the extent 
to which the activities of these organizations duplicate activities 
that are conducted elsewhere in the United States Government. Such 
study shall include, but not be limited to, an evaluation of whether 
such organizations undertake unique activities that are central to the 
conduct of American foreign policy and which are incapable of being 
performed directly by an agency of the United States Government.
    (b) Report to Congress.--Not later than one year after the date of 
enactment of this Act, the Comptroller General of the United States 
shall prepare and submit a report of the findings of such study to the 
Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate and Committee on 
International Relations of the House of Representatives.
