After the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) and its owninspector general faulted the U.S. Department of State for failingto oversee summer work and training exchanges for foreigners, theState Department plans to cut back a program it can't seem tomanage. At issue is the Exchange Visitor Program, authorized by the1961 Fulbright-Hays Act (PL 87-256) and now administered by theState Department's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs(ECA). It brings approximately 275,000 students, scholars,trainees, and interns to the United States annually.
