If the "Weatherman" faction of S?DS
joins the moratorium, it is almost cer-
tain to mean trouble. Last month, Mark
Rudd and a few hundred "Weathermen"
went to Chicago and engaged in violent
confrontations with police there.
These young revolutionaries went on
a wild rampage which resulted in wide-
spread damage to property of the citizens
of Chicago. Three of the "Weathermen"
were shot by police.
-A group of women, led by "Weather-
man's" Bernadine Dohrn, threatened to
destroy an Army Induction center. They
gathered in a park, sang praises to Ho
Chi Minh and Mao Tse-tung, and then
charged into police ranks trying to kick
the officers in the groins. Illinois Gover-
nor Ogilvie called up the National Guard
and before it was over, police arrested
more than 200 demonstrators.
If the extremists of the New Left can
cause that much trouble in Chicago
without a mob to exploit, imagine what
they might do in a crowd of moratorium
demonstrators, many of whom will be
charged up emotionally over the war.

$40 million, was finally agreed to in the
sum of $40 million.
On the Conus air defense intercepter,
for which the House authorized $18.5
million and the Senate $2.5 million, the
conferees agreed to the lower Senate fig-
ure.
There are other items that I will an-
swer questions about, if desired. How-
ever, I will not delineate them now.
On the general provisions, the con-
ferees agreed upon a modified version of
the amendment authorizing a GAO study
of defense profits. The modification
makes it clear that the information re-
quired from a contractor's records will
be that obtainable from the records he
keeps in the normal course of business.
It also takes away the subpena power
from the Comptroller General and con-
templates that the House and Senate
Committees on Armed Services would
issue subpenas in necessary cases when
requested.
That was a hotly contested item on the
floor. It concerned the granting of sub-
pena power and involved the changing
of the nature of the GAO.
We strenuously urged the adoption of
the Senate amendment because I thought
the restrictions on the subpena power
were adequate and had been properly
phrased and took care of it all right.
However, the House never did yield with
reference to the subpena power on either
one of these two items. And there was no
way to get them to yield. But they did
yield and agree to this modification that
I have discussed.
On the financial disclosure amend-
ment, the Rouse receded from its objec-
tion to section 403 of the Senate bill
with an amendment. This section con-
tains the financial disclosure provisions
for former military officers and civilians
involved in defense procurement matters.
The House added a provision for a
new Assistant Secretary-Assistant Sec-
retary of Defense Health Affairs. That is
a matter that they have added in several
bills in recent years. We finally agreed
to include that provision. I think that
there is rather strong argument in favor
of it and that the work can be central-
ized there.
At one time it was offered in such a
way as to crowd out the Assistant Sec-
retary on :Systems Analysis. We never
would agree to it in that form, because
any Secretary of Defense is entitled to
the very best personnel he can get. And
it helps to rave status in these matters of
procurement and systems analysis eval-
uation.
We had a very complicated amend-
ment considered on the Senate floor
regarding independent research. The
amendment was offered by the distin-
guished Senator from Wisconsin.
We finally agreed that the Senator
would introduce a bill on that subject.
The committee recommended a 20-per-
cent reduction in funds. That passed the
Senate in that form.
That amendment was very stoutly re-
sisted by the conferees on the part of the
House. Some rather complicated matters
came up concerning it. However, after a
os thorough conside>iatlon, we ageo
ment that would not disturb existing
contracts' and there would be an overall
reduction of 7 percent in new contracts
made for the rest of this year, the idea
being that that is a temporary settlement
of the matter and that we are getting
into the field more explicitly, we hope to
have better guidelines possibly by statute
in the next year.
Mr. PI#,OXMIRE. Mr. President, will
the Senator yield?
Mr. STENNIS. I am glad to yield to
the distinguished Senator from Wiscon-
sin. He is the author of the amendment
to which I have just referred, and he
did a great deal of fine work on it.
Mr. PROXMIRE. I want to say a num-
ber of things later, but first I want to say
that I am very grateful to the Senator
from Mississippi for the excellent job
he did with regard to the amendments I
introduced. I think he made a fine fight.
I know it was not easy. I should like to
ask' him about this amendment.
Does the Senator agree that the effect
of the amendment retained by the con-
ference placed this practice of independ-
ent research-what I have in mind are
loose rules and regulations-for the first
time under the scrutiny and examination
of both the Pentagon and. Congress?
Mr. STENNIS. Yes. That is a correct
statement. It will now have to be under
the strict surveillance of the Pentagon,
and this is a start whereby we can have
legislative surveillance.
Mr. PROXMIRE. Is the effect of the
amendment to limit the funds which the
Pentagon allows to be written off by
contractors for this purpose to 93 per-
cent of the contemplated level of allow-
ance for future contracts? In other
words, there Is at least a 7-percent cut
in the amount which would otherwise
be allowed in future contracts.
Mr. STENNIS. That is correct. The
language, appears a litttle odd, but that
is the way it had to be drawn.
Mr. PROXMIRE. Does the Senator
agree that this amount would be a cut of
at least $40 million to $50 million over
what it would otherwise have been and
that it might in fact be more?
Mr. STENNIS. Yes, I think that is ap-
proximately correct. We found that there
was no way to be accurate on that be-
cause of various conditions. I think I
said at one time that it would run from
$30 million to $40 million to $50 million,
but I think $40 million to $50 million is
more nearly accurate.
Mr. PROXMIRE. I understood the
Senator to say that this is a beginning.
As I understand it, the Senator intends
to hold hearings on this question and his
committee intends to go into it in con-
siderable detail.
Mr. STENNIS. That is exactly what
we propose to do. It must be evaluated;
it must be understood. I think it must
be regulated somewhat, although I am
impressed with the need for some opera-
tion in this field.
Mr. PROXMIRE. Would the Senator
not also agree that the effect of the
amendment is to give a clear notice to
the procurement officials in the Defense
Department ,that, some past practices ag-
ar to h of u , who have examined
e.lns~eti> and that
there needs to be a tightening of the reg-
ulations and controls under which this
procedure has been practiced?
For example, my office was- unable to
find out from the Department of Defense
or to find in the armed services procure-
ment regulations any clear definitions or
regulations which involved funds in ex-
cess of a half billion dollars a year.
Is this amendment not a clear notice
to the procurement officials and to the
Comptroller of the Pentagon that this
entire area must be re-examined, tight-
ened, and brought under control?
Mr. STENNIS. That is what we in-
tend to do. We are going to follow that
up by letter. No corruption or anything
like that was found there.
Mr. PROXMIRE. l agree.
Mr. STENNIS. It was the inadequacy
of the system and an application of that
system. It is just intolerable, as I see
it. It is an important field, however.
The committee will not bring in a rec-
ommendation again until we get a better
system and a better understanding. That
would be my position.
Mr. PROXMIRE. I should like to ask
the Senator another question about this
item and about the dollar amounts
involved.
In the original amendment, it was
considered that under the authorization
some $585 million originally would have
been available for the independent re-
search and development. We cut that by
20 percent, or one-fifth; and, as the
report points out, the language "was in-
tended to provide a reduction of approxi-
mately 20 percent in the funds which
would otherwise be expended for this
purpose during fiscal 1970."
The effect was to limit the total to $468
million, or 20 percent of $585 million.
The effect of the new amendment is to
make a 7-percent cut, rather than a 20-
percent cut.
By my calculations, this would be
$40.95 million, and would limit inde-
pendent research and development ex-
penditures to approximately $544 million
for next year. Is that not correct?
Mr. STENNIS. I think that is approxi-
mately correct. That is the best we could
get at this time, with the lack of a system,
and they do not know the extent of these
contracts as yet. We could not be exact.
The estimates on it went up. The gross
estimates on the amount that could be
involved went up.
Mr. PROXMIRE. I have some addi-
tional questions, but I will defer those,
if the Senator wishes, while other Sen-
ators who are members of the committee
speak. I will do whatever the Senator
desires. I want to accommodate him.
Mr. STENNIS. I thank the Senator.
The Senator from New Hampshire is
versed in this matter. as are others. This
matter was handled. however, as an
amendment on the floor of the Senate,
and I think we all are familiar with it.
Does the Senator have further ques-
tions on this matter?
Mr. PROXMIRE. Not on this matter.
I have questions on other matters.
Mr. STENNIS. I would rather finish
now. I thank the Senator.

of the
I think that was. the main point. The
main point on which the House objected
was the lack of hearings in such a far-
reaching policy question, without a de-
lineation of the various parts, and so
forth.
Mr. President, that was the overall
reason that the House did not accept
the amendment.
Mr. COOPER. I assumed that would be
the reason.
Mr. STENNIS. Yes.
Mr. COOPER. I would like to discuss
this matter for a few minutes.
Mr. STENNIS. Certainly. I yield to the
Senator from Kentucky.
Mr. COOPER. Mr. President, the Sen-
ator from Mississippi was kind enough
to call me several times after the con-
ference. I was not in Washington. I was
in Kentucky. He told me that he wanted
to discuss with me the action of the con-
ference on the amendment. I appreciate
his consideration very much.
Mr. STENNIS. The Senator is certainly
entitled to that consideration. I wanted
him to be informed,, and I wanted him to
be here when we took up the report, and
it was only after we knew he would be
here that we went ahead.
Mr. COOPER. The Senator is not only
courteous but also very fair. I appreciate
his consideration very much.
The information offered publicly to the
country since August 12, when I first of-
fered the amendment, gives more impor-
tance to the amendment. Before August
12, after I had studied the bill and had
noted that in title IV the language which
authorized funds for the use of U.S.
troops in assistance of local forces in Laos
and Thailand, two questions arose in my
mind because of the language. The first
-question was a constitutional question,
and that is always arguable, as to wheth-
er the President and I spoke of the Office,
has the right to use combat troops in an-
other country without the approval of
Congress. I had thought that was a per-
tinent question because the Senate re-
cently agreed to a national commitment
resolution, which was supported by all
Members except seven. I remember that
the Senator from Mississippi spoke in
support of the resolution.
The more substantive and immediate
question was whether the United States
would, by use of its combat forces, move
into a new war in Laos and Thailand.
At the time I did not have any absolute
information as to what the United States
was doing in Laos. There were rumors,
but I must say I had no firm informa-
tion. Since that time a series of articles
has been published in the New York
Times going into some detail about the
involvement of the United States in
Laos. In addition, the Senator from Mis-
souri (Mr. SYMINOTON) has been very
ably conducting a series of hearings on
our foreign commitments. I shall not
comment on what .has been happening
in that committee. Although I am a
member of the committee, the hearings
have been secret and I do not intend to
comment upon any information that has
been developed in the hearings. I shall
follow the chairman, Senator SYMINGTON.
I must say I rely chiefly on the articles
from the New York Times. Also `I rely
upon the statements which Secretary of
State Rogers has made to the press. If
he is correctly reported, he said he
thought Members of Congress or some
Members know about the U.S. involve-
ment.
I know that our activities in Laos are
related to our operations in the war in
Vietnam. For example, if we bomb the
Ho Chi Minh Trail from bases in Thai-
land that is an operation supporting our
forces in Vietnam. It is to deny the move-
ment of supplies and forces down the Ho
Chi Minh Trail.
In the debate on August 12 and on
September 17, I did not question the
right of the President, as Commander in
Chief, to conduct activities in Laos which
are directly related to the war in Viet-
nam; but I did question then and I ques-
tion today the authority of the Presi-
dent-and again, I am not directing my
remarks to President Nixon but to the
office of President-because if these
activities have been occurring, they have
been occurring under the Presidents and
they were initiated, according to the
newspapers during the administration of
President Kennedy. The activities in-
creased under the administration of
President Johnson.
If the newspapers are correct, the ac-
tivities have been carried on under the
administration of President Nixon.
The point I make is that no President
ever declared to the American people or
to Congress that the United States was
assisting in combat activities in support
of local forces in Laos. The forces of
Laos are engaged in a civil war in Laos.
The Pathet Lao are engaged and have
been engaged for years in an attempt to
strike down the established Government
of Laos. The Pathet Lao has been as-
sisted by the North Vietnamese forces,
and, I assume, by Chinese work bat-
talions.
The circumstances under which these
activities began as in Vietnam were in a
framework in which the United States
was concerned about the Communist
takeover of Southeast Asia. There was
great concern about this possibility
which many people do not remember
today.
But the point I made when I offered
the amendment, and the point I try to
make now is that no President as Com-
mander in Chief, has ever announced to
the American people that he is using
what he might consider to be his con-
stitutional powers and that we were in
combat activities in support of local
forces in Laos. Certainly, Congress has
never been informed or approved such
actions.
We can agree to resolutions until
doomsday and they will have their moral
effect upon the President or upon Con-
gress or upon the American people, but
all such methods other than the certain
constitutional method we might use-
and the Senator from Mississippi knows
this well because he is a great lawyer-
are doubtful.
There is only one method which is
certain and that is' the prohibition of
appropriations. That was the purpose of
my amendment: To deny appropriations
to carryon the use of American combat
troops to support local forces in Laos or
Thailand.
e was as to the meaning of
and that was in contest
of the Senate. I have not
discuss this matter with
Mr. COOPER. I do not intend to dis-
cuss the conference action on the
amendment at great length at this time,
but I should like to ask the Senator
some questions.
Mr. STENNIS. I yield to the Senator
for such questions as he may have.
Mr. COOPER. I understood the Sen-
ator to say that disagreement in the
conference arose over the meaning or
the intention of, the language. Would
the Senator speak in more detail of
disagreement.
Mr. STENNIS. As I recall, the ques-
tion. was whether it put a limitation on
all the funds of the Department of De-
fense, or whether it was just on this
$2.5 billion.
With great deference to the Senator,
I thought his language applied only to
the $2.5 billion, and the contention of
the Senator from Kentucky was that it
applied to all the funds appropriated for
the Department of Defense. It is a very
broad and a very far-reaching question,
and we just could not make any head-
way with the House on that question.
It pertains to war, some possible exten-
sion of the war.
Mr. COOPER. To try to secure as pre-
cise an answer as I can, I ask this ques-
tion: Was the discussion in the con-
ference, and particularly the objection
of the House conferees, directed to the
question, which we debated at great
length on the floor of the Senate, that
is-to whether the amendment I offered
applied only to the $2.5 billion which was
authorized in the bill? That is an argu-
able question, and we debated it at some
-length. But the more substantive ques-
tion, and the chief question, is this: Was
there argument in the conference-did
the question arise, as to whether funds
should be appropriated for combat use
of our troops in support of local force in a
war in Laos?
That is the chief and substantive,ques-
tion, and that was my point.
Mr. STENNIS. This matter came up
many - times during the conference. The
amendment had two phases: one was
the ceiling and the other was the Sen-
ator's limitation. I recall that it was dis-
cussed from virtually every angle.

RiVExs about it in one. of our con-
ferences on ,tFhe items tllat were not

Mr. President, I have almost completed

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
An 11-percent cut: Mr, President, in
summary terms the bill provides for a re-
duction of 11 percent in research and de-
velopment funds in the budget request as
compared to an average of about 12 per-
cent in the Senate version and 10 percent
in the House version. In addition, Mr.
President, I wish to emphasize that the
military science budget activity was re-
duced in a manner which will give com-
plete effect to the total reduction of some
$45 million adopted on the Senate floor
relating to the Federal research centers,
behavioral sciences, and certain other
activities.
SPECIFIC RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ITEMS
NEW ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR HEALTH AFFAIRS
The Senate agreed to a House pro-
vision providing for a new Assistant Sec-
retary of Defense for Health Affairs with
the added proviso that the number of
Assistant Secretaries would be increased
from seven to eight. This provision which
was also contained in last year's procure-
ment bill, but rejected by the Senate,
was strongly insisted upon by the House.
INDEPENDENT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Mr. President, as the Senate may re-
call, the House version contained no
language in its bill on the business of
independent research and development.
The Senate version contained a section
limiting this activity to $468 million for
fiscal year 1970, representing a 20-per-
cent reduction in this program, A com-
promise was adopted by the conference
under which for new contracts incurred

of the Department of Defense based on
the limited attention we were able to ex-
tend to it this session. At one point the
Senate Committee was advised that
about $580 million would be expended
out of the authorized funds for fiscal
year 1970. The House Committee some
weeks later was advised that about $702
million might be expended for this gen-
eral purpose. The simple truth is I do
not believe the Department knows how
much money will be spent in the general
area of independent research and devel-
opment, bid and proposal, and other
technical effort. While I am sure there
is much good work accomplished under
these programs, it is at the present time
beyond the decisionmaking process in
the Congress in terms of the budget.
The Congress therefore has no means of
evaluating or controlling these large
sums to any precise degree.
It would appear that the only means
of bringing this matter under any con-
trol would be to have it as a line item in
the budget in order that it can be pre-
sented and justified in the normal way. I
point this out in order for the Depart-
ment of Defense to be on notice with
respect to the intention of the committee
of having detailed hearings and bringing
about some change in the way this mat-
ter is presently being handled.
SUPPORT FOR SOUTH LAST ASIA FORCES
Mr. President, the limitation of $2.5
billion contained in the Senate version
of section 401 was retained by the con-
ferees. The added language regarding the
use of these funds for the support of local
forces in Laos and Thailand was rejected
by the House conferees because of its
ambiguity. As the Senate may recall, this
latter item was Senator COOPER's floor
amendment, which was adopted.
NUCLEAR CARRIER STUDY
The House version contained no pro-
vision similar to the Senate version re-
quiring a study for the CVAN-70 prior to
any authorization. As finally adopted
there will be a joint study by both the
committees prior to the authorization of
any additional carrier.
EXPANSION OF AUTHORIZATION AUTHORITY
The House version would have ex-
tended the requirement for authoriza-
tion legislation prior to appropriations to
",all other vehicles, weapons and ammu-
nition." This matter was compromised
by the adoption of language limiting this
expansion to other weapons with this
term being limited principally to artil-
lery, rifles, small weapons, and the like,
as defined specifically in the statement
of managers.
TROOP STRENGTH CEILING
The conferees adopted the House ver-
sion an the active duty ceiling which pro-
vides that after July 1, 1970, not more
than 3,285,000 personnel may be on ac-
tive duty in the Armed Forces unless a
Presidential exception is made.
CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL WARFARE
Mr. President, the conferees agreed to
what might be considered a compromise
in both the House and Senate versions of
this matter. Senator MCINTYRE will ex-
plain this matter fully, but I would point
out that the new language requires the
following :

First, that Congress bQ_kept informed
of, all expenditures relating, to, chemical
and biological warfare.
Second, that the program, including
testing and transportation, be conducted
in amallner gorisist nt with a due regard
for public health and safety.
Third, that. the program be conducted
in a mariner".which respects the sover-
eign independence of other nations and
U.S. ,obligations under internatioal law.
Ili addition, it prohibits procurement of
systems specifically -designed for dis-
seminating lethal chemical and biologi-
cal agents except with the approval of
the President. The bill underscores con-
gressional determination to keep this
program under firm control by directing
$10.5 million reduction in the program's
research and development funds.
GAO AUDIT AND REPORT LANGUAGE
Mr. President, I regret to say that the
House was adamant in its refusal to
adopt the Senate provision requiring
quarterly reports by the General Ac-
counting Office of major defense con-
tractors. This amendment, as we know,
was offered by Senator SCHWEIKER. The
-House felt, however, that except for the
subpena power, existing procedures al-
lowing this type of reporting was not
justified.
PROVISIONS IN THE HOUSE BILL NOT ADOPTED BY
CONFEREES
.Mr. President, in order that there may
be a record on the cooperation between
the two groups I would like to point out
the provisions contained in the House
version which were dropped altogether
by the conferees: Language requiring for
the mandatory procurement and storage
of supplies for Reserves; a Deputy As-
sistant Secretary of Defense for Dental
Affairs; lieutenant general rank for the
