Since the Soviet Union was dissolved in late 1991, the newly independent successor states have been trying to develop more efficient, market-based economies and establish democratic governments. The United States has strongly supported this transition, both diplomatically and financially. The structure that the executive branch established to coordinate, manage, and implement U.S. programs to help with this enormous undertaking is both unique and complex. This report (1) identifies the size, scope, and status of the various U.S. bilateral programs for the former Soviet Union; (2) describes the structures established for coordinating and managing these programs; and (3) describes some of the coordination and structural problems the executive branch has faced. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-95-10/html/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-95-10.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-95-10/pdf/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-95-10.pdf GAO/NSIAD-95-10 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-95-10 Letter Report GAO/NSIAD-95-10; Former Soviet Union: U.S. Bilateral Program Lacks Effective Coordination; Federal aid to foreign countries Economic development Foreign economic assistance International cooperation Interagency relations Federal grants International agreements Developing countries International economic relations Operations analysis Soviet Union DOD Cooperative Threat Reduction Program Title 22 Section 2392(a) Title 22 Section 5812(a) 22 U.S.C. 2392(a) 22 U.S.C. 5812(a) Volume 107 Page 931 107 Stat. 931 Public Law 102-511 Public Law 103-87
