AMENDMENT OF FOREIGN ASSIST-
ANCE ACT OF 1961
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President,
what is the pending business?
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The
Chair lay e before the Senate the unfin-
ished business.
The Senate resumed the consideration
of the bill (H.R. 11380) to amend further
the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as
amended, and for other purposes.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The
question is on agreeing to the amend-
ment of the Senator from Illinois [Mr.
DIRKSEN] .
Mr. TOWER. Mr. President, I ask
unanimous consent that the pending
amendment be temporarily laid aside so
that I may call up my amendment No.
1214.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there
objection? Without objection, it is so
ordered.
The amendment offered by the Sena-
tor from Texas will be stated.
The legislative clerk read as fol-
lows:
On page 12, between lines 15 and 16, insert
the following:
"(g) Amend section 620(j) to read as fol-
lows:
" .(j) In light of the actions of Indonesia
in alining itself with North Vietnam, a na-
tion which has aggressively attacked United
States naval vessels, and the actions of Indo-
nesia in threatening the peace and security
of the nation of Malaysia?
" ' (1) No further United States assistance
shall be furnished to Indonesia under this
Act or any other provision of law; and
" (2) All Indonesian nationals now re-
ceiving training at United States military
schools or bases or at any other United States
Government facilities, or under any United
States Government contract with any pri-
vate institution or facility, shall be notified
of the immediate termination of such train-
ing, and no other training of Indonesian
nationals shall be initiated.'"
On page 12, redesignate succeeding sub-
sections.
Mr. TOWER. Mr. President, I ask for
the yeas and nays on my amendment.
The yeas and nays were ordered.
Mr. TOWER. Mr. President, at the
outset, I may say to the distinguished
majority leader that I am prepared to
agree to a controlled time situation, if
the majority leader prefers to have one.
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, I
appreciate the suggestion of the Sena-
tor from Texas. I wish I could comply
with his suggestion, but I am under an
inhibition or restriction as to limitation
of time so far as this bill is concerned.
Mr. TOWER. Mr. President, foreign
aid is perhaps the most remarkable
phenomenon of our times.
We have suffered through the Eco-
nomic Cooperation Administration, the
Mutual Security Agency, the Technical
Cooperation Administration, and Foreign
Operations Administration, the Inter-
national Cooperation Administration, the
Development Loan Fund, and now the
euphonious AID?Agency for Interna-
tional Development.
We have appropriated more than $30
billion over the last 9 years; $18 tillion
for economic assistance and some $12
billion for military assistance.
This money, provided by a well-inten-
tioned and trusting American public, has
accomplished some good works. It also
has bought such vital items as:
TV sets for bush country natives.
18819
Wives.
Yachts, castles, and cloverleafs for
backwoods potentates.
Roads that go nowhere.
Hydroelectric plants without transmis-
sion lines.
Irrigation systems with no water.
Massive religious monuments.
Now, this is not to say that all foreign
aid is bad. In general our military aid
programs have been helpful. In general
our economic aid programs have been
fragmented, expensive, and wasteful.
Dollars from the foreign aid pipeline
now are dispersed in tiny, often useless,
spurts to some 108 nations and terri-
tories. There seems to be no one at AID
with a sense of priorities. Or perhaps
they just cannot say "No."
, It is time for the Congress to say "No."
Already we have said, "Go slow."
? Already available in holdover funds
from past appropriations are more than
$7 billion?or exactly twice what the
Agency wants to spend this year.
AID's system of first obligating, then
deobligating, the reobligating, and its
habit of funding projects in excess of the
cost needed to complete them have re-
sulted in the surplus of funds from past
appropriations. Juggling and overfund-
ing have been so rampant that AID has
deobligated funds from 232 projects in
just the last 2 months.
In achieving these dubious goals, the
Agency for International Development
has felt it necessary to call upon the ef-
forts of 71,416 employees. That is more
people than live in the entire city of
Galveston in my State. - ?
I am tempted to ask what all those
people do. ? But the answer stumbles
upon the heels of my question. They are
spending taxpayer dollars. They are
progressively building up a nice cushion
of unspent appropriations, and they are
'busily coming back for more.
I think it is time to call a halt.
Almost everybody agrees that the pres-
ent administration of foreign aid can be
improved. The Marshall plan gave us
evidence that a carefully conceived and
directed assistance program can reap
benefits for the United States and the
world.
Let the Congress, then, call upon the
administration to revise and to revitalize
foreign aid. Let us set priorities. Let us
do away with the scattergun sweep and
place our aid fire directly upon carefully
chosen targets.
And, while these revisions are being
made and justified to the Congress, let us
let AID struggle along on that $7 billion
it has piled up for emergencies. It is
past time for an emergency to be de-
clared over AID, and that $7 billion fund
should enable the Agency to operate for
at least 2 years while American foreign
aid is reoriented and put in order.
Mr. President, American foreign aid
funds have been misspent in many ways.
One of our worst faults is our continuing
failure to distinguish between friends
and enemies. I want to detail what I
regard to be just one of those instances.
Let us take note of Indonesia and
Sukarno.
The United States now is spending
money to train Indonesian military and

police personnel. Meantime, Indonesian
Is killing and wounding troops of our
British allies and threatening the free-
dom and peace of Malaysia?a nation
which we support and which I believe
proved to be one of the most stable of
the emerging new nations of Africa and
Asia. The British are to be commended'
for bringing the Malaysian Federation
into existence. It is a tribute to the
ability of the British to impart to other
people their experience in the art of
self-government.
As recently as the last week of June
some 100 Indonesian terrorists drove
across the Malaysian border killing and
looting. Some of them may have been
trained here, or have gotten instruction
from men trained here.
I think the Senate must face the fact
that Mr. Sukarno is no friend of the
United States. We also must face the
fact that he is walking in lockstep with
the Communist Party of his nation, the
PKI. It is, indeed, likely that he can do
nothing not approved by the Commu-
nists. Sukarno and the Reds are iden-
tified with the same goals.
As one Western diplomat has said:
If President Sukarno didn't exist, the
Communists would have to invent him.
Two Communist Party leaders, Chair-
man D. N. Aidit and First Deputy M. H.
Lukman, already hold the rank of min-
ister in Sukarno's state advisory council.
Their ties with Red China are close.
? Sukarno continues to state publicly
that he is out to crush our ally, Malay-
sia. He clearly demonstrated his peace-
ful neutrality when he torpedoed the
cease-fire arranged in the area last Jan-
uary. He continues to send his volun-
teer troops against British Common-
wealth forces in Sarawak and Sabah.
Informed sources say there probably are
600 well-equipped Indonesian soldiers
inside Malaysian territory?an increase
of 450 in this year alone.
Yet, the gullible United States con-
tinues to train Sukarno's forces.
As of late April there were 187 Indo-
nesian armed forces personnel training
in the United States, plus 38 police per-
sonnel, a total of 225.
Here is a breakdown of the U.S. folly:
Under the Army, 94 Indonesian train-
ees are at work. Sixty-one of them are
scattered among such regular military
career courses as engineering, adjutant
general, finance, ordnance, armor, signal,
medical, infantry, women's army corps,
military police, chaplain, supply, quar-
termaster, transport, artillery and the
U.S. Command and General Staff School.
Thirty-three others are in what our
State Department calls civic action
courses which somehow includes infan-
try training.
Until this year Indonesian trainees
here were given guerrilla and counter-
insurgency courses.
Under the supervision of our Navy, 68
Indonesian trainees are assigned to vari-
ous U.S. military schools in such career
courses as naval aviation, oceanography,
supply, electronics, engineering, motor
transport, and the Navy command
course. Another seven are in those elu-
sive civic action courses.
Under the Air Force, there are 18 In
donesian trainees; 10 in air force career
courses, and 8 in civic action.
In addition '38 Indonesian police are
training in this Nation. Thirteen are
taking police management and internal
security courses at AID's International
Police Academy right here in Washing-
ton. They get special instruction in traf-
fic, patrolling, and railroad security?all
handy things to know in a dictatorship.
Eighteen more Indonesian policemen
are at U.S. military schools working in
telecommunications maintenance, weap-
ons and ammunition repair, Coast Guard
organizations, maintenance and opera-
tion, search, rescue, maritime law en-
forcement, and military police organiza-
tion and operations.
Three others are studying at private
institutions in the field of telecommu-
nications. One is studying police admin-
istration at the University of Southern
California; three are taking courses here
in Washington under that catch-all civic
action heading.
While this U.S.-financed training goes
on, our ally Malaysia is being invaded
and British troops in the area killed by
Indonesian military forces.
This would seem a good place for the
Johnson administration to make a start
at getting our foreign assistance pro-
grams out of the realm of the ridiculous
and back to the realm of reason.
Of particular interest is the police
training program administered by the
? Agency for International Development
since 1954 and upon which, to date,
American taxpayers have spent more
than $16 million.
AID blithely admits that the training
is designed to increase the competence
of the 110,000-man national police of
Leftist-Dictator Sukarno. We are to
help train the police officers, modernize
their radio communications, update
their transport facilities, and improve
their supply system.
_ American taxpayers are footing the
bill for this so that Sukarno will not lose
control of his island nation. That is a
priority set by our foreign assistance pro-
gram. It could use some prompt re-
thinking.
Among the major items of equipment
we have sent to Indonesia are 1,800 vehi-
cles of all types, 53 small patrol craft for
sea police, 5 small aircraft for air police,
laboratory equipment in the amount of
$206,000, records and identification
equipment in the amount of $130,000, and
investigative equipment to the tune of
$25,000.
Approximately $2 million have been
expended to provide a radio, teletype and
telephone communication network giving
Sukarno's police comprehensive coverage
throughout the widespread nation.
Nothing quite appeals to a dictator like
being able to keep in touch with his
lieutenants throughout his oppressed
nation.
Now Mr. President, I have been detail-
ing here the folly of U.S. foreign assist-
ance in but 1 of the 108 nations and ter-
ritories which would get bits and pieces
of our money under this year's program.
Other Senators have mentioned other
August 13
places where shortcomings are equally
obvious.
I hope the Senate will take this occa-
sion to call for a reappraisal of foreign
aid. This year's appropriation could be
entirely cut out without affecting in the
least the $7 billion already available to
AID. At the very least this year's appro-
priation can be cut by the 21 percent
which has been the average yearly reduc-
tion by Congress over the 9 years of the
program.
American foreign aid must be cur-
tailed, then revised, then reapplied with
reason. Unless it is, the Sukarnos will
come home to haunt us.
In fact, Mr. Sukarno established diplo-
matic relations with North Vietnam on
August 10 thus alining himself with the
aggressor nation which so recently at-
tacked our destroyers. This act alone
should be enough to exclude him from
any U.S. foreign aid and to eliminate
from our military schools any of his offi-
cers and policemen.
Since it is unlikely that we' shall un-
dertake a reappraisal of foreign aid, we
should adopt the amendment cutting off
aid to Sukarno, who is engaging in hos-
tile activity against a friendly ally.
Mr. President, I ask unanimous con-
sent that there be printed in the RECORD
at this point two supporting letters.
There being no objection, the letters
were ordered to be printed in the REC-
ORD, as follows:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
Washington, D.C., May 12, 1964.
Hon. JOHN G. Town,
U.S. Senate.
DEAR SENATOR TOWER: Thank you for your
letter of April 28, requesting details and sta-
tistics on the training of Indonesian military
and police personnel in the United States.
As of late April there were 187 Indonesian
armed forces personnel training in the United
States plus 40 police personnel, a total of 227
trainees. This figure differs from the figure
of 280 recently cited by the Department.
The latter figure was based on an earlier
tabulation, subsequent to which there have
been various course completions, withdraw-
als, and other personnel changes. The fol-
lowing is a breakdown of these trainees by
branch of service and the type of training
they are undergoing:
Army: A total of 94 trainees, of whom 33
are taking civilian management courses re-
lated to the Indonesian armed forces civic
action program. The remaining 01 are scat-
tered among a variety of regular military ca-
reer courses, including engineering, adjutant
general, finance, ordnance, armor, signal,
medical, infantry, Woman's Army Corps, mil-
itary police, chaplain, supply, quartermaster,
transport, artillery, and Command and Gen-
eral Staff School. Aside from the 33 in the
civic action program, the largest single num-
ber (8) is in various phases of infantry
training. None of the trainees have been
assigned to counterinsurgency courses since
1963.
Navy: A total of 75 trainees, of whom 7 are
taking civic action courses. The remainder
are assigned to various career courses such
as naval aviation, oceanography, supply, elec-
tronics, engineering, motor transport. Gen-
eral Line School, Navy Command Course, etc.
The Navy contingent includes both officers
and enlisted men of the Indoniesian Navy
and Marine Corps.
Air Force: A total of 18 trainees, with 8
in civic action courses and the remainder
taking various Air Force career courses.

Police: Of the Indonesian National Police
personnel now training in the United States,
13 are studying police management, opera-
tions, and internal security at AID's Inter-
national Police Academy in Washington,
D.C., with specialized training in traffic, in-
structor training, patrol operations in rail-
road security. Eighteen are taking training
at U.S. military schools and installations in
telecommunications maintenance; weapons/
ammunition and repair; coast guard orga-
nizations, maintenance, and operation
(search, rescue, and maritime law enforce-
ment) ; and military police organization and
operations.
These are studying at private institutions
in the field of telecommunications. One is
studying police administration at the Uni-
versity of Southern California. Three others
are taking management courses in Washing-
ton, D.C., relating to Indonesia's civic action
program. ?
None is being trained in guerrilla warfare
or ranger tactics.
If I can be of further assistance to you in
this matter, please do not hesitate to let me
know.
Sincerely yours,
ROBERT E. LEE,
Acting Assistant Secretary,
for Congressional Relations.
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT,
Washington, D.C., May.28, 1964.
Hon. Jokix G. TOWER,
U.S. Senate,
Washington, D.C.
DEAR SENATOR TOWER: Mr. Frederick G.
Dutton, Assistant Secretary, Department of
State, informed you in his letter of April 27
that the Agency for International Develop-
ment would reply to you regarding your re-
quest of April 20 on U.S. assistance to the Na-
tional Police of Indonesia.
Following is a summary of the program:
The program which began in fiscal year
1954 is now scheduled to terminate in fiscal
year 1968. Project activities past and present
have been to increase the competence of the
110,900-man national police in order that
they can assume the principal role within the
Government of Indonesia in maintaining in-
\ternal security and preserving law and order.
This project is specifically designed to:
(a) Increase civil police ability to control
civil disturbances.
(b) Continue improvement of faculty and
staff for several police training schools; sup-
ply additional training aids; upgrade train-
ing facilities.
(c) Develop a nationwide police telecom-
munications complex through increased
training of management, operator, and main-
tenance personnel; construct additional
building space to house equipment; provide
limited commodity and spare parts support.
(d) Improve transportation capability
(air, sea, and land) through continued train-
ing of personnel, construction of supporting
facilities, and providing limited commodity
and spare parts support.
(e) Continue assisting in the development
of an efficient supply system necessary for
proper support of police units throughout
the archipelago. This will be accomplished
by constructing a subdepot at Surabaya, and
continuing emphasis on training in supply
management.
(f) Analyze police requests for assistance
in the improvement of police-community
relations and police capability in rural areas
of Java and the outer islands. This particu-
lar project now has first priority in GOT police
development plans and involves the alloca-
tion of GOI funds for police civil activities
through the construction of rural police sta-
tions, provincial police schools, and housing
facilities for police personnel.
(g) Improve control of traffic and degree
of police service to the population in major
urban areas and on principal, highways of
the country in terms of continued training,
Improved techniques, better personnel man-
agement, and providing vehicles and com-
munications commodity support.
(h) Improve capability of police in main-
tenance of records, identification, and scien-
tific crime detection by better management,
continued training, and limited commodity
support.
The foregoing activities have been selected
for U.S. support since public order and in-
ternal security, including the prevention or
the defeat of renewed Communist or other
insurgency, are prerequisites to political
stability and economic growth.
Generally viewed, the project is 60 per-
cent complete. There are 15 U.S. Public
Safety technicians in Indonesia at present.
Approximately 460 Indonesian participants
have completed training in the United States,
Philippines and Japan to date and there are
51 participants presently in training, 38 in
the United States, and 13 in the Philippines.
I believe the nature of this training has been
furnished to you in another letter.
Through our U.S. advisers stationed in
Indonesia, the United States has directly
participated in course curriculums in in-
country training programs involving 62,000
Indonesian policemen in 20 police training
schools at the national and provincial levels.
These courses involved training in supply,
logistics, motor maintenance, equipment sal-
vage and rehabilitation, telecommunication
operation and repair, management practices,
criminal identification and police records,
public relations, control of juvenile delin-
quency, criminalistics, etc.
Major commodity items furnished to the
police include 1,800 vehicles of all types, 53
patrol craft for the sea police, 5 small air-
craft for the air police, crime laboratory
equipment in the amount of $206,000, rec-
ords and identification equipment in the
amount of $130,000, and investigative equip-
ment in the amount of $25,000.
Approximately $1,900,000 has been ex-
pended to provide a police telecommunica-
tion network giving comprehensive coverage
throughout Indonesia. This communication
system, through the base station in Djakarta,
connects the national police headquarters
with its provincial units via radio and tele-
type. In addition, a police radio patrol car
system has been established in Djakarta
and a highway patrol is in operation be-
tween the major cities of Java.
Another major accomplishment has been
the development by the police with the help
of U.S. advisers of a police supply and main-
tenance system which is considered to be
one of the most efficient in use in southeast
Asia. This has contributed to a continuing
acceptable level of care and utilization of
U.S.-furnished commodities,
Due to the present confrontation with
Malaysia, commodity assistance has been
sharply curtailed, including suspension of
delivery of weapons and ammunition since
October 5, 1963. -
The cost to the United States from the be-
ginning of the program in fiscal year 1954
through fiscal year 1963 is $16,474,000, which
includes 62,700,000 currently suspended.
If I can be of further assistance to you in
this matter, please do not hesitate to let
me know.
Sincerely yours,
CRAIG RAUPE,
Director, Congressional Liaison Staff.
Mr. KEATING. Mr. President, will
the Senator yield?
Mr. TOWER. I yield.
Mr. KEATING. As the Senator from
Texas has stated, this has been a matter
of interest to me for a long time. I have
had rather extensive and somewhat un-
satisfactory correspondence with the De-
partment of State on this subject.
18821
Mr. TOWER. I am well aware of a
Senator's activities in this field, and I am
grateful to him for the groundwork he
has done on it.
Mr. KEATING. I thank the Senator.
It seems to me it makes no sense what-
ever for us to be training Indonesian sol-
diers in this country to enable them to
be ready to fight against Malaysia, which
is a friendly country and is using Ameri-
can taxpayers' dollars for this purpose.
Every Member of the Senate knows
that I have been a supporter of the for-
eign aid program over the years. The
distinguished Senator from Texas and I
have some differences of opinion as to the
program generally. But I am not sure
that we should cut off all aid to Indo-
nesia. I believe some Indonesian stu-
dents are studying in the United States.
Perhaps that is desirable. It is the train-
ing of military personnel that seems to
me absolutely indefensible
The American people should know
about this. I had a hard time getting in-
formation from the Department of State
on this subject. I received much double-
talk in their first replies.
I first learned from a constituent that
the United States was training Indone-
sian soldiers in this country. I could not
believe it, so I asked the State Depart-
ment whether we were. They replied, in
effect, that we are trying to maintain
good relations with all countries. Their
reply was in 2 pages.
I wrote back, saying; "I agree with that
purpose, but I want to know whether the
United States is training Indonesian sol-
diers in this country at taxpayers' ex-
pense, to the tune of 270 persons.
The State Department replied and said
the number was not 270; it was 280; and
that several of them were being trained
in counterinsurgency. The Department
calls it counterinsurgency, which is a
fancy word for guerrilla warfare.
Mr. President, such a program makes
no sense. It is completely indefensible.
I am sure that that has been recognized
now, because I have received more re-
cently a letter from the Department of
Defense dated July 22, 1964, signed by
Assistant Secretary of Defense Arthur
Sylvester. In his letter, Mr. Sylvester
wrote:
As of the end of April 1964, there were 187
Indonesian armed forces personnel train-
ing in the United States, plus 40 police per-
sonnel, a total of 227 trainees. This figure
was reduced to a total of 103 trainees by
June 15.
I am happy to note the reduction.
Thereafter, a question about the 103
trainees was raised on the floor of the
Senate.
If I might make a suggestion to the
distinguished Senator from Texas, I be-
lieve that his amendment would be
strengthened if wherever the phrase "In-
donesian nationals" appears it were
changed to "Indonesian military or po-
lice personnel." So far as I am aware,
they are the only ones who are receiv-
ing training at U.S. military schools or
bases, or any other U.S. Government fa-
cilities.
I understand that some civilians are
receiving training under contract with
private institutions or facilities. As to

them, I should say there is a greater
question about cutting off assistance.
I wonder if the argument of the Sen-
ator from Texas is not directed primari-
ly to what I have been fighting; namely,
military and police personnel.
Mr. TOWER. Mr. President, I am
grateful to the Senator from New York
for offering this modification. I think
it will enhance the amendment. I am
pleased to accept the modification sug-
gested by him. I ask unanimous con-
sent that my amendment may be so mod-
ified.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without
objection, the amendment is modified.
Mr. KEATING. I thank the Senator
from Texas. I believe his amendment is
not open to any possible criticism. If
our foreign aid program is to be used to
advance the interests of our foreign pol-
icy, it should certainly not be used, even
though only a relatively small amount
is involved, for the purpose of training
soldiers who, we know, will be engaged
in activities against our allies and who,
we now know, are threatening aggression
against a neighbor?Malaysia.
I sincerely hope that the amendment
as modified will be adopted.
There are some inconsistencies in our
foreign policy that cannot be tolerated?
specifically, providing aid to an active
aggressor, Indonesia, with our left hand,
while assisting its victims, Malaysia, with
our right. Such action violates the anti-
aggression provision of the Foreign As-
sistance Act of 1963, which specifically
provides that:
? No assistance shall be provided under this
or any other act, and no sales shall be made
under the Agricultural Trade Development
and Assistance Act of 1954, to any country
'which the President determines is engaging
in or preparing for aggressive military efforts
directed against ? * * any country receiving
assistance under this or any other act.
Unfortunately this language has been
totally ignored by the executive agencies
of our Government.
Last September, when Firesident Su-
karno, of Indonesia, unleashed his guer-
rilla and regular troops against the new
Federation of Malaysia, the United
States found itself in the embarrassing
and irresponsible position of betting on
both sides.
While Indonesian guerrillas were kill-
ing the defenders of Malaysia's borders
at the rate of 30 per month, the United
States continued to train Indonesian mil-
itary and police officials in our military
training centers. The Department of
State reluctantly admitted this to me
after a lengthy exchange of correspond-
ence this spring.
I asked about this training of aggres--
sors in several letters to the State De-
partment, and in mid-April received a
reply which indicated that 178 of the
280 Indonesian military and police per-
sonnel being trained in the United States
were indeed taking military courses;
7 of these had recently completed
counterinsurgency courses at Fort Bragg.
"The course they attended," I was as-
sured by the Departnient of State, "was
not guerrilla warfare, but counterinsur-
gency." Frankly, the distinction between
counterinsurgency and guerrilla train-
ing is pretty thin. For in order tO? train
Indonesians to counter guerrilla war-
fare, we obviously had to teach them the
methods of guerrillas. What was to pre-
vent Sukarno from enlisting the counter-
insurgency know-how of his soldiers re-
cently graduated from Fort Bragg in his
aggression against Malaysia?
In response to continued pressure on
my part, the Defense Department has
recently informed me that only 103 of
the original 280 Indonesian Armed Forces
and police personnel remained in the
United States as of June 15. However,
despite this improvement, our position
is untenable as long as a single Indo-
nesian military man receives American
training in military activities or orga-
nization. I request unanimous consent
that at the conclusion of my remarks
the text of the letter be printed in the
RECORD.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without
objection, it is so ordered.
(See exhibit 1.)
Mr. KEATING. Mr. President, more
than 400 Indonesians have been killed
or captured by Malaysian defenders of
North Borneo and Sarawak since the
start of 1964. Captured Indonesian doc-
uments leave no doubt about the fact
that this subversive campaign is directed
by Indonesian Regular Army officers,
acting on the directives of President
Sukarno. Sukarno stated on May 1 his
intention to step up guerrilla activities
aimed at crushing the Federation of
Malaysia. And on June 25, the Soviet
Union's troubleshooter, First Deputy
Premier Anastas Mikoyan, announced
that the U.S.S.R. was supplying Sukarno
with modern weapons and Soviet per-
sonnel to train his troops to use them
in the struggle with their "neocolonial-
ist" neighbor, Malaysia.
NeVertheless, $9.8 million is requested
for AID's technical assistance program
for Indonesia in fiscal year 1965's pro-
gram, plus an unspecified sum of mili-
tary assistance in the form of training.
The program for use of military assist-
ance funds has not been-divulged.
The United States should not support
the army of a government that commits
aggression against its neighbors. Su-
karno's excuse for his vow to crush
Malaysia is that the Malaysian Federa-
tion of 10 million people threatens his
nation of 100 million; his real reason
for aggresSion is the traditional mad
ambition characteristic of dictators like
Mussolini, Hitler, and now Nasser, to
distract a poverty-ridden, badly governed
people's attention from their own
plight?and to keep happy the well-fed
army of 350,000 that comprises the
armed support of the Sukarno regime.
' Both supporters and opponents of the
foreign aid program realize that we can-
not make friends everywhere, but we
must also realize that we can actually do
great damage by helping to shore up re-
gimes fundamentally opposed to the
principles of international peace and
order. To provide aid to the military
and police personnel of a nation actively
committed to the destruction of a free
nation cannot possibly be reconciled
either with our own principles or those of
the United Nations.
August 13
? Moreover, to think that $9.8 million or
$43 million or $150 million will convert
the men on Sukarno's payroll to democ-
racy is mere illusion. The current pro-
gram of aid to Indonesia is admittedly a
small effort; but of what value is it at
all? Could not these funds slated for In-
donesia's militarists under the military
assistance program, be put to better use
in a peace-loving nation that would use
it for the benefit of the people, rather
than the dictators?
Mr. President, I support the Senator's
amendment if it is modified to apply only
to Indonesian military and police per-
sonnel and not to bona fide civilian
students, doctors, engineers and so on.
I think it is a fine idea to expose Indone-
sian civilians to U.S. life and ideas, but
I can see no justification for U.S. aid to
train the Indonesian military or police
forces in more efficient forms of aggres-
sion or repression.
EXHIBIT 1
ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF DEFENSE,
Washington, D.C., July 22, 1964.
Hon. KENNETH B. KEATING,
U.S. Senate,
Washington, D.C.
DEAR SENATOR KEATING: This IS in refer-
ence to your recent communication in be-
half of a constituent who raises a number of
questions concerning the . training of In-
donesian military personnel in the United
States and Exercise Desert Strike.
As of the end of April 1964, there were 187
Indonesian armed forces personnel training
In the United States, plus 40 police person-
nil, a total of 227 trainees. This figure was
reduced to a total of 103 trainees by June 15.
A number of these trainees have been tak-
ing civilian management courses relating to
the Indonesian armed forces civic action pro-
gram. The remaining personnel have been
scattered among a variety of regular military
career courses, including engineering, ad-
jutant general, finance, ordnance, medical,
chaplain, women's army corps, quarter-
master, transport, etc. None of the Indone-
sian military trainees have been assigned to
counterinsurgency courses (including guer-
rilla warfare trainnig at Fort Bragg) since
1963.
The provision of military training for In-
donesian military personnel has been of
mutual benefit to the United States and
Indonesia. It has provided both countries an
opportunity to remain in close contact and
is a vehicle for the exchange of ideas.
With respect to Exercise Desert Strike, only
a small number of foreign observers were
present at the exercise and they represented
friendly allied nations.
Sincerely,
ARTHUR SYLVESTER.
Mr. DOMINICK. Mr. President, will
the Senator from Texas yield?
Mr. TOWER. I yield to the Senator
from Colorado.
Mr. DOMINICK. I am happy to sup-
port the amendment as modified. I have
been actively critical of Mr. Sukarno in
particular for some time, having de-
livered a speech on the floor of the Sen-
ate on this subject on November 1, 1963.
Almost immediately thereafter, I made
another speech about him on November
15, following a protest by the Ambas-
sador from Indonesia about my verbiage
in Connection with Mr. Sukarno in my
first speech. I did not withdraw the
comments I had made.
Mr. Sukarno is an interesting person.
His background is not often outlined for

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD ? SENATE 18823'
us. It is most difficult for me to under-
stand why the United States is support-
ing Mr. Sukarno and .his Government.
I should like to detail a little of his back-
ground, so that we will know what we
are talking about. A fuller explanation
is contained in my speech of November
15, 1963, at page 20850 of the CONGRES-
SIONAL RECORD.
At the time most of us were fighting
the Japanese and the Nazis in World
War II, Mr. Sukarno was holding down
the important post of general political
adviser to the Japanese Military Gov-
ernment, in Indonesia. He is a fine type
of person to have immediately picked up
as a supporter.
While he was engaged in that work, he
turned 2 million of his own countrymen
over to the Japanese to be treated, in the
words of Major General Willoughby,
-who was then chief of our intelligence in
that area, like "coolie slaves."
One of Sukarno's chief tasks was to try
to get the Indonesians engaged in a
greater war effort against the free world.
In this effort, one of his slogans was:
"We shall flatten out America." An-
other was: "We shall overturn Eng-
land."
In 1944, Sukarno organized a really
big anti-American rally in Djakarta. A
caption under photographs of pictures
being burned by Sukarno-read: "Roose-
velt, Churchill Condemned."
In 1945, Sukarno decided he was not
on the winning side, so he jumped over
and joined the Russians. This man is
not a great idealistic leader. He is an
opportunist of the first order, one who
tries to keep himself in power. He
jumped over and asked Stalin for sup-
port.
In 1949, when he became President of
Indonesia, he was awarded the Order of
Lenin by the Russians. According to
his own statement, he said, "This means
I am a Communist of the highest order."
It is reported that he said this with a
chortle. Whether that was meant as
entertainment or as .self-satisfaction, I
am not certain.
Sukarno has, of course, endorsed the
Communist Party in Indonesia as a
major participant in his Government.
The Communist Party in Indonesia at
the present time is the largest Commu-
nist Party outside the all-Communist
nations.
It is interesting, strategically speaking,
to look at that section of the world and
see what is happening. We are engaged
in an effort to assist the people of South
Vietnam to control their own Govern-
ment and to be able-to control their own
lives.
From the north, with the aid and as-
sistance of Red China and the North
Vietnamese, come guerrillas moving
down through the peninsula onto the
great land mass of Asia. While they are
doing that, in come the Russians from
the other side.
Those who are supposed to be friendly
to us are moving into Indonesia. They
supply armaments to Indonesia to make
the country strong in its military forces
in the entire Asian area. Indonesia, in
?turn, is moving against Malaysia, so
there is a vast pincer movement coming
No. 158-20
in from both sides, one supported by the
Red Chinese, and the other supported by
the Russian Communists.
Both sides are trying to gain control
of the area of southeast Asia which, if
effective, would effectively cut us off
from any opportunity to save that por-
tion of the world for the free world, and
would substantially place in danger our
Perennial and longtime allies, New Zea-
land and Australia.
So I would say to the Senate that from
a purely strategic military position, we
are dealing with a crucial area of the
world. To have us give money or train-
ing to the military forces of Indonesia,
which are largely using Russian weapons
in order to continue their aggressive ef-
forts, so far as I am concerned, is noth-
ing but a complete denial of our own
purpose and principle in Asia.
Last year, when the amendment was
before the Senate, we were well assured
that only a modicum of aid would be
continued to Indonesia, that in fact no
new programs were being authorized, and
we really did not have to worry about it.
Yet, I am told, the President of the
United States has publicly stated that it
is in the interest of the United States to
continue giving aid to the Indonesian
people.
Apparently, we are trying to use the
"carrot on the stick" approach, because
from time to time our Ambassador, in an
effort to do something over there, has
indicated that perhaps our aid should not
be continued.
Mr. President, I hold in my hand an
article published in the Washington Post
of March 26, 1964, entitled "'Go to Hell
With Your Aid,' Sukarno Tells "United
States."
If Sukarno wishes to tell us that, so
far as I am concerned, there is no rea=
son to conclude that his island is any
worse than where he is telling us to send
our aid?or any better, for that matter.
I would as soon keep our money in the
United States.
Mr. TOWER. We might get a greater
return from it if we sent the money to
the place Mr. Sukarno recommends.
Mr. DOMINICK. I agree with the
Senator from Texas.
Mr. President, I ask unanimous con-
sent to have the article printed in the
RECORD.
There being no objection, the article
was ordered to be printed in the RECORD,
as follows:
"Go TO HELL WITH YOUR AID," SUKARNO
TELLS UNITED STATES
DJAKARTA, March 25.?President Sukarno,
of Indonesia, today told the United States to
"go to hell with your aid" and said his coun-
try would not collapse without foreign assist-
ance.
Sukarno, speaking at the laying of a stone
for a 14-story building here, pointed to
American Ambassador Howard P. Jones,
laughed and said:
"There is one country threatening to stop
its foreign aid to Indonesia. That coun-
try thinks it can scare Indonesia. I say go
to hell with your aid."
Sukarno said "Indonesia is rich in natural
resources. Indonesia is rich in manpower
with its 103 million inhabitants?not like
Malaysia with 10 million."
Sukarno's reference to Malaysia drew a
sharp burst of applause from an estimated
"2,000 persons who attended the ceremony.
Sukarno's speech followed by 1 day a
statement by U.S. Secretary of State Dean
Rusk in Washington that the United States
would not give any new aid to Indonesia
until the Malaysia dispute was settled.
Sukarno interrupted his speech to ask
Jones in a loud voice, "When was that you
wanted to stop your aid?"
Jones did not answer the President's ques-
tion and only smiled and nodded his head.
(In Bangkok, Thailand, Indonesian For-
eign Minister Subandrio today said his gov-
ernment has accepted with certain. condi-
tions a formula by the Philippines to settle
the Malaysian dispute. He said the reply
was communicated to the Filipinos and it
was up to them to publish it.
(The original formula called for the
phased withdrawal of Indonesian guerrillas
from Malaysian Borneo, the simultaneous
opening of political discussions at the ministerial level, and a heads of government
summit meeting between Malaysia, Indo-
nesia, and the Philippines.)
Mr. DOMINICK. Page 184 of the
hearings on the list under technical
assistance program, indicates that fairly
substantial projects are still under con-
struction or still in process of being com-
pleted in Indonesia, to the total, so far
as the RECORD shows, of $24 million. '
It reports that in fiscal 1964, under the
proposal mutual defense and develop-
ment program, there will be a continua-
tion of limited technical assistance ac-
tivity in the amount of $9.5 million.
In addition, there is, of course, the
military program. Unfortunately, th-e
hearings do not reveal what the particu-
lar programs are, because for some rea-
son or other, a security angle seems to be
involved. I have a hard time seeing what
it is, in view of what has already been
said on the floor of the Senate. At any
rate, the hearing record, on page 515, on
the bottom of the page, clearly shows
that we are continuing training programs
with regard to the military in Indonesia.
It seems difficult for me, or for any
normal American citizen, to see any valid
reason for the United States deliberately
to spend U.S. taxpayer funds to support
a dictator with a large Communist back-
ing who is aggressively attacking one of
our pro-Western neutral countries ?in
that area?namely, Malaysia.
It seems almost more difficult to under-
stand this, when he has already told us
what we can do with our aid.
Mr. TOWER. Does it not seem to be
inconsistent to the Senator from Colora-
do that very often the United States sup-
ports far rightwing dictators as well as
leftwing dictatorships?
Mr. DOMINICK. I agree that it has
seemed to be governed that way during
the past few years, and perhaps even be-
fore that. I cannot understand why we
support any dictatorship of the right or
the left which is actively trying to impose
its power on people outside its geograph-
ical boundaries. It seems to me that that
is just so wholly wrong that it is ridicu-
lous to support them with taxpayers'
money.
Mr. TOWER. Does the Senator feel
that there is any valid claim that Indo-
nesia could lay to the territory of Malay-
sia?
Mr. DOMINICK. None at all, so far as
I know. I understand that they are
doing it on the basis that Malaysia is an
extension of British imperialism. What-

18824 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD ? SENATE
they are really in effect saying is that
they are using the word "imperialism" as
a method to eliminate self-government
and to impose their will on a neighbor-
ing people.
There are some more instances which
I believe are quite interesting. A good
portion of the record should be laid be-
fore the Senate. The idea with respect to
Malaysia, of course, is well known. I do
not believe that anyone would dispute the
validity of it at this point, in view of the
fact that the British have had to put a
number of support troops into Malaysia
to keep the Indonesians out.
The interesting thing about some of
our aid programs is that we give eco-
nomic aid, over the protests of many
Senators to Indonesia, in order to try
to prevent inflation.
What happens?
Immediately, Sukarno comes in and
buys 3 Convairs and flies all over the
world, telling everyone what a great fel-
low he is, taking his girl friends and his
advisers with him. Why he does it, he
does not say, so far as any sensible pro-
gram is concerned, designed to be of
assistance either to the self-determina-
tion of peoples or to free world ideals.
Yet we continue to spend American tax-
payers' funds in order to support a dicta-
tor of this kind.
I thoroughly and wholeheartedly sup-
port the amendment of the Senator from
Texas.
Mr. President, I yield the floor.
Mr. MORSE. Mr. President, will the
Senator from Colorado yield?
Mr. DOMINICK. I have yielded the
floor. The Senator can obtain the floor
in his own right.
Mr. MORSE. Mr. President?
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The
Senator ,from Oregon is recognized.
Mr. MORSE. Let me say to the Sen-
ator from Texas that I shall support his
amendment. For years, I have opposed
foreign aid to any dictatorship, either
right or left. I have opposed giving sup-
port to the so-called presidential escape
clause in the foreign aid bill. I happen
to believe that Congress has the duty,
under our checks and balances system,
to appropriate money or not appropriate
money without giving to a President
arbitrary, discretionary power to give
foreign aid to dictatorships becanse he
might decide it to be in our national
interest to do so.
In case of any emergency, the Presi-
dent can always lay his case before Con-
gress and secure enactment of legisla-
tion, if in the wisdom of Congress it
should be granted to him. There is the
great danger which I have argued for so
many years on the floor of the Senate, of
weakening our system of coordinate and
coequal branches of government by
building up, step by step, more and more
of a government by executive suprem-
acy.
If we do not stop it, we shall jeopard-
ize the freedoms and liberties of the
American people, because if we develop
a system of government by executive su-
premacy we will lose the effectiveness of
legislative checks and controls. We need
to be on guard, from the standpoint of
the abstracts principle of our Govern-
ment, without reference to any given
President to stop this trend toward gov-
ernment by presidential supremacy. My
objection has nothing to do with the par-
ticular individual who occupies :the
White House. It is bad from the stand-
point of protecting our constitutional
system.
Therefore, I shall support the amend-
ment of the Senator from Texas. Sukar-
no is a corrupt and dangerous dictator.
Not 1 cent of taxpayers' dollar should be
made available to him. The President
should be denied any discretion to
grant Sukarno a dollar unless each dol-
lar is specifically approved by Congress.
This amendment seeks to cut Sukarno
off from all foreign aid. I have urged
that action for 3 years and I am glad to
vote for the Tower amendment.
Mr. JAVITS subsequently said: Mr.
President, I wish to state my reasons for
voting "no" on the amendment on aid
to Indonesia. I am very well aware of
the activities of the Sukarno regime and
disapprove as fully as anyone in this
Chamber of the continued inspired guer-
rilla activities" against Malaysia and any
identity of interest with the North Viet-
namese. I join with my colleagues in
condemning unreservedly any support
extended by the Sukarno regime to the
enemies of freedom in south and south-
east Asia. It is for these very reasons
that I do not wish to see an absolute cut-
off of any hope of saving Indonesia from
being devoured by the Communists. It
certainly may be personally gratifying to
be able to denounce activities I consider
so inimical to the free world by voting
for this amendment. But it is too high
a price to pay to contribute to cutting
off any hope that Indonesia can be saved
from the Communists by tying the Presi-
dent's hands as this amendment would
do in respect of any operation in Indo-
nesia no matter how it might appeal to
the U.S. Government as being helpful in
in checkmating Communist influences
there?this is most unwise in my judg-
ment. We should aid, not cut off what-
ever effort we may be able to make to
maintain our free world position which
is so critically important. By cutting off
this aid completely, we are denied any
such opportunity. I would not wiSh wit-
tingly to do that, as I believe that is
against our interest in the struggle for
freedom and peace In the world.
I thank my colleague for yielding.
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, I
hope it will be possible to come to the
vote requested by the distinguished Sen-
ator from Texas [Mr. TOWER] very
shortly.
The present amendment provides, as
has been brought out in the debate so
far:
No assistance under this, Act shall be fur-
nished to Indonesia unless the President de-
termines that the furnishing of such assist-
ance is essential to the national interests of
the United States. The President shall keep
the Foreign Relations Committee, and the
Appropriations Committee of the Senate, and
the Speaker of the House of Representatives
fully and currently informed of any assist-
ance furnished to Indonesia under this Act.
There is not much more that I can
say. The amendment was brought for-
August 13
ward largely, I believe, through the ef-
forts of the distinguished Senator from
Wisconsin [Mr. PROXMIRE] and other
Senators. The -issue is drawn. The dis-
tinguished Senator from Texas [Mr.
TOWER] wants to go a good deal further
and drop everything absolutely and com-
pletely.
It is my belief that the President
should have a small degree of flexibility,
at least.
Mr. President, I ask for the yeas and
nays.
The yeas and nays were ordered.
Mr. DIRKSEN. Mr. President, there
is one reason why I believe the amend-
ment of my distinguished friend from
Texas ought not to be defeated.
It is now roughly two months since the
distinguished leader in Indonesia, Mr.
Sukarno, stated publicly to all the
world?and it was carried by every wire
service?that, "The United States can
go to hell withits aid."
What was in my mind at the time was
that probably that was the only country
that was not receiving aid. But if Su-
karno does not want it, and if he wants
us to go to hell with our aid, I shall be
the last one under any circumstance to
force it on him, or to even put in the
hands of the President the authority to
force it on him.
Sukarno left no doubt as to where he
stood. All the world knows it. And this
is one time that we can be exception-
ally selective and take the leader at his
word when he tells us to go to hell with
our foreign aid.
I shall take him at his word. I shall
vote for the amendment of the distin-
gigshed Senator from Texas.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The
question is on agreeing to the amend-
ment of the Senator from Texas [Mr.
-TOWER].
The yeas and nays have been ordered,
and the clerk will call the roll.
The legislative clerk called the roll.
Mr. HUMPHREY. I announce that
the Senator from Virginia [Mr. Byar],
the Senator from Ohio [Mr. LAUSCHE],
the Senator from Florida [Mr. SMATH-
ERS], and the Senator from Tennessee
[Mr. WALTERs], are absent on official
business.
I also announce that the Senator from
New Mexico [Mr. ANDERSON], and the
Senator from Massachusetts [Mr. KEN-
NEDY], are absent because of illness.
, I further announce that the Senator
from Nevada [Mr. CANNON], is neces-
sarily absent.
I further announce that, if present and
voting, the Senator from Ohio [Mr.
LAuscnz],? would vote "yea."
Mr. KUCHEL. I announce that the
Senator from Arizona [Mr. GOLDWATER]
is detained on official business.
The Senator from Kansas [Mr. CARL-
SON] is detained on official committee
business, and, if present and voting,
would vote "yea."
The Senator from Massachusetts [Mr.
SALTONSTALL] is necessarily absent, and,
if present and voting, would vote "yea."
The result was announced--yeas 62,
nays 28, as follows:

So Mr. TOWER'S amendment was agreed

Mr. TOWER. Mr. President, I move
to reconsider the vote by which the
amendment was agreed to.
Mr. DIRKSEN. Mr. President, I move
to lay that motion on the table.

Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President,
what is the pending business?
