We support the elimination of tax-supported military, economic, technical, and scientific aid to foreign governments or other organizations. We support the abolition of government underwriting of arms sales. We further support abolition of federal agencies that make American taxpayers guarantors of export-related loans, and oppose the participation of the US government in international commodity circles which restrict production, limit technological innovation, and raise prices. | We support the elimination of tax-supported military, economic, technical, and scientific aid to foreign governments or other organizations.
