Former USAID head grieves its closure while hoping for its future

I need more detailed information from the original article to rewrite this accurately. The headline and summary provided don't contain specific facts—names, dates, actions, or quotes—that meet NobsFacts standards.

To rewrite this properly, I would need:

- The name of the former USAID administrator

- The specific date USAID was shut down (or if it was restructured rather than closed)

- What actions were actually taken

- Direct quotes from the named individual

- When and where these remarks were made

- Specific details about the "new direction" of US foreign aid

Could you provide the full original article text? Once I have named individuals, dates, and verifiable actions with direct quotes, I can strip the editorial framing and produce a clean, fact-only version.
