WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Peace Corps Director Mark Gearan has informed Congress that the service organization plans to close or cut programs in more than a dozen countries.
By September 1998, the Peace Corps is scheduled to withdraw from Botswana, Chile, Costa Rica, the Czech Republic, Fiji, Hungary, Sao Tome and Principe, Swaziland, Tunisia and Uruguay.
The House may vote this week on a $224 million budget that would fund the Peace Corps through fiscal year 1997. The proposal would give the Corps $1 million less than it got in 1996.
In 1995, with a $231 million budget, the Corps' size was at a 20-year high: 7,200 volunteers in 94 countries. By late 1997 it expects to have about 6,500 volunteers in about 90 countries.
