'CONGRESSIONAL RECORD ?--:SET
fortunately, we never do; a few are counted
twice, but a much larger number are missed
altogether. .
Vollovving recent US; censuses, Very so-
phisticated analyticel and statistical work
has been dorm at the Bureau of the Census
to determine how many people were, in fact,
not counted. Eventually this figure (usually
showing about a 5 million undercount) is
published, but it is not added to the official
figure. Accordingly, the official population of
the United States on July 1, 1974 (211.9 mil-
lion) did not include the verified undercount
of 5.3 million, nor did it account for those
who immigrated illegally. The latter, we can-
not count?we cannot even find?but they
are here. (The U.S. Immigration and Natural-
ization Service estimates their number, in
the last twelve months alone, to be between
a million and 3 million.)
To a greater or lesser extent every other
country has similar problems. In most de-
veloped countries, nearly all births and
deaths are recorded. In the rest of the world,
about two-thirds of all births and deaths are
never recorded. (In ASIA, the United Nations
reported that in 1963, only 7% were recorded;
1,
In Africa, only 4%. The situation has not
.i. ceenged greatly since.)

ures given by each country, the official U.N.

Yearbook, the midyear population of Citii
would be 829.8, with a growth rate of 1.7, la
can find no student of Chinese population
who agrees that, these figures are realistic.
Traditionally, birth and death rates in China
have been high. The present regime claims
to have made tremendous effort to lower
the death rate, and there is, no indication
than the birth rates were significantly low-
ered before 1970, if then. Even If we assume
that near-miracles have been accomplished
in the past 4 years, China would still have
experienced 2 decades of high growth rates,
unless, unlike most _other Asian countries,
It failed in its attempt to lower the death
rate.
There has never been it reliable count of
the Chinese. Under the present regime, there
has been only one attempt at a census, and
that was 21 years ago. By sophisticated cen-a
sus standards, It was primitive, and almost
surely produced an undercount. However, on
Juno 30, 1953, the Peking government re-
ported that the population was 582.6 million,
growing at an estimated rate of 2.29. That
growth rate is believable for 1953. But while
most other Asian countries were experiencing
rising growth rates during the succeeding 20
years, the U.N. Demographic Yearbook has
reported a decline, It the growth rate had
remained the same, the population of China
would be 932 million by mid-1974.
In 1956, the Chinese published an estimate
of 627.8, and a growth rate of only 2.14. If
this had continued, China's population would
now be 919 million.
If the Chinese baci been as successful as
other Asian countries in lowering the death
rate, the population of China would be well
over 1 billion.
The distinguished authority on the sub-
ject, Dr. John S. Aird, Foreign Demographic
Analysis Division, of the U.S. Bureau of the
Census, has recently made 1 projections for
the Joint Economic Committee of the U.S.
Congress. These projections, based on various
fertility assumptions, gave a low figure of
915.2, and a high figure of 918,2 as of July 1,
1974.
Aird also has calculated the population of
China assuming a 5, 10 and 15% undercount
in 1959, Assuming a 5% undercount, the Jan-
uary 1, 1974 population could be as high as
944 million; with a 10% undercount, it might
be as high as 996 million, and with a 15%
undercount, it would be 1.055 billion. ("Poo-
"illation Growth," reprinted from Economic
Trends in Communist China, erl. by Eckstein,

"Including Ryukyu Islands.
" The population of the United States on
July 1, 1974 was, officially, 211,909,000, but
this figure does not include the undercount
of 5.3 million revealed since the 1970 census.
Also, it takes no account of the number of
illegal immigrants who have entered the
country in the past year. Immigration offi-
cials estimate that there are from 1 to 3 mil-
lion of these each year?about 90% ef them
from Mexico. As the lowest estimate we could
find anywhere was 400,000, we hay s also

birth rates have continued throughout the
period. As public health measures have low-
ered the death rate, the population growth
rate must have increased, in which case, in
the early 1960's It was well below 2.0, and is
now well above It. The tiN. Demographic
Yearbook estimated the average growth rate
1963-4970 as 2.4 and the average growth rate

CORRECTION F ERROR IN THE
JOINT STATEMENT OF MANAGERS
ON THE FOREIGN ASSISTANCE
ACT OF 1974
Mr. SPARKMAN. Mr. President, i wish
to correct an error appearing in the joint
statement of managers which accom-
panied the conference report on the
Foreign Assistance Act of 1974. The con-
ference report was passed by the Con- -
gress in. December, was subsequently
signed by the President, and has entered
into law?Public Law 93-559. This cor-
rection of the explanatory statement
which accompanied that conference re-
port Is intended simply to 'set the record.
straight. .
The error may be found on page 42 of
the conference report document, House
Report No. 93-1610. which -contains both -
the conference report and the joint state- .
ment of managers.-- Under the heading
"Limiting Intelligence Activiti," there
Is a- description of the conference corn- .
mittee's action on the differing 'Senate -
and House provisions regarding congres-
sional approval 02 covert intelligence
operations abroad. The error appears in
the second sentence of the second para-
graph, in the description of the House'
provision, which was the provision agreed
to by the.confe.rence?comthittee. In that
sentence, the phrase "prohibited the use
of Foreign Assistance Act funds only,"
should not have been included.- I 'ask
unanimous consent that this portion of
the explanatory statement be printed in - ?

which should be excised shown in italic:
There being no objection, the portion
of the statement was ordered to be.

LIMITING INTELLTGENCE ACTIVITIES
The Senate bill contained a provision which
added a new section 661 to the Foreign As-
sistance Act prohibiting the use of funds ap-
propriated under any act by, or on behalf of
the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), or e.
any other agency of the U.S. Government, for
the conduct of operations in foreign coun-
tries other than operations intended solely
for obtaining intelligence, unless the Presi-

the Senate measure. The basic differences,.
were that the House section prohibited the.
use of Foreign Assistance Act funds only,
applied to the CIA but not to other govern-
ment agencies, and specifically required that
the reports be transmitted to the Foreign
Affairs and Foreign Relations Committees,
among the committees with relevant juris-
diction. The House amendment also provided
that the restrictions should not apply during
e, declared war or during an exericse of power
under the War Powers Resolution.
The Senate receded.
The committee of conference agreed that
strict measures should be taken to insure
maximum security of the information sub-
mitted to the Congresspursuant to this pro-
. vision,

SEC. 32. The Foreign Assistance Act of
1961 is amended by adding at the end of
? part III the following new sections: ,
".Sac. 662,. Limitation on Intelligence Activ-

authority of this or any other Act may be
_ expended by or on behalf of the Central
? Intelligence Agency for operations in foreign
? countries, other than activities intended
solely for obtaining necessary intelligence,
unless and until the President finds that
s each such operation is important to the na-
tional security of the United States and re-
?. ports, in a timely fashion, a description and
scope of such operation to the appropriate
committees of the Congress, including the
Committee on Foreign Relations of the
United States Senate and the Committee on
Foreign Affairs of the United States House
of Representatives.
"(b) The provisions of subsection (a) of
this section shall not apply during military
operations initiated bythe United States un-
der a declaration of war approved by the

suant to an agreement with the recipient
of such assistance, articles, or services which
provides that. such recipient may only ob-
tain such assistance, articles, or services in
exchange for any necessary or strategic raw
material controlled by such recipient. For the
purposes of this section, the term 'neces-
sary or strategic raw material' includes pe-
troleum, other fossil fuels, metals, minerals,
or any other natural substance which the
President determines is in short supply in
the United States.

Marcus Cohn, a Washington commu-
nications lawyer and former staff mem-
ber- of the Federal Communications
Commission, tied those two ideas to-
gether in a recent article for the Out-
look section of the Washington Post.
Writing in defense of first amendment
rights for broadcasters, Mr. Cohn shows
how the White House in the past has
used the fact of governmental control
over broadcasters to its own advantage.
Ho also shows how sonic liberals?this
Senator included--have changed their
minds about freedom for broadcasters.
Mr. President, I ask unanimous con-
sent that the article be printed in the
RECORD. .
- There being no objection, the article
was ordered to be printed in the RECORD,
as follow: ?
[From the Washington Post, Dec. 22, 1974]
How LIBERALS REDISCOVERED FREE SPEECH
(By Marcus Cohn)
On Sept. 25, 1970, Charles W. Colson. sent
a memo to H. R. Haldeman in which he pro-
posed that the White House get a ruling
from the Federal Communication Commis--
8101k on the "rule of the President, when be
uses TV." This, he argued, would_ have "an
inhibiting impact on the networks." Prob-
ably the last thing he over expected was that
this memo?and others--would end up help-
ing to ignite a flurry of judicial and con-
gressional dedication to ? broadcasters' First
Amendment rights., . .
Broadcasters, of course, have been d:es
lighted?indeed, amazed- eto find a growing
number of liberals as their new defenders.
There is, for example, Democratic Sen. Wil.
ham Proxmire of Wisconsin, who 15 years
ago played a central role in requiring. the
FCC. to judge how stations handled contro-
versial issues. This Fairness Doctrine notion
had been kicking around for a number of
years by then, but it was Proxmire whopro-
posed and pushed through the amendments
to the Communications Act. Today the same
Sen. Proxmire is delivering Senate speeches
declaring that the doctrine is unconstitu-
tional. Ho now describes it as the "unfairness
doctrine," an "Orwellian double think" pro-
cedure, and the subversion of Voltaire to
mean "I will defend to the death your right
to agree with me."
? - PLENTY OF COMPANY
Proxmire is certainly not alone in hie sharp
change of heart; he has plenty of company
among federal judges, other liberal members
of Congress and intellectuals who have Simi-
larly reversed course in the wake of Water-
gate and other events on a wide range of
issuee. ?
Historian Arthur Schlesinger, jr., for ex-
ample, has spent a gooe deal of his career
supporting a strong presidency, illustrating
his CASA with studies of President Franklin
Roosevelt, and then grce ring even more en-
thusiastic about the stt mg, activist Presi-

on food assistance to the poorest coon-
The interpretation worked out by Sen-
ators Honspentzy and HATFIELD IS some-
? what confusing to me, but I believe the
language in the report is pretty clear.
If the gentleman will follow the language
In the report, I think he will find it spells
out the details of what the conferees
agreed upon.
Mr. BROWN of California. If the gen-
tleman will yield further, may I inquire
as to whether or not the specific per-
centage limitation which is referred to
appears in the conference report. In
other words, does the language state that
not more than 30 percent of title I con-
ce&sional food assistance is authorized
for those countries which are not among
the "most seriously affected" according
0 the U.N.
Mr. MORGAN. Yes. Mr. Speaker, it re-
fers to the list of countries that are in-
cluded in the U.N. definition of the poor-
est countries. Thirty percent of our con-
cessional food aid is to go to such coun-
tries.
Mr. BROWN of California. Mr: Speak-
er, I thank the chairman of the com-
mittee for his explanation, and his as-
surance that the language in the con-
ference report refers to title I congres-
sional food aid and does not include the
Public Law 480, title II grant program.
Mr. PRELINGHUYSEN. Mr. Speaker,
I yield myself such time as I may con-
sume.
(Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN asked and
was given permission to revise and ex-
tend his remarks.)
Mr. FRELINGHTJYSEN. Mr. Speaker,
I rise in support of this conference re-
port while I have strong reservations
about certain provisions. In my opinion
the agreement reached represefits a rea-
sonable compromise of the difficult issues
that were in conference.
One of the key issues in conference
concerned the situation on Cyprus. The
question of how to resolve this difficult
Issue?especially the matter of military
aid to Turkey?has been debated at
length. The conferees decided to sus-
pend all military assiitance and sales
upon enactment of the bill, but to allow
President Ford to lift the suspension
_Until February 5, subject to certain con-
ditions. I trust that during this short
period the United States can play a
useful role in facilitating movement to-
ward a settlement.
While the Cyprus negotiations con-
tinue, it is important to remember the
thousands of homeless refugees who are
the innocent victims of this tragedy. I
am pleased to report that the Senate
accepted the House language earmarking
$25 millTon for famine and disaster relief
to Cyprus.
The conferees discussed the proposed
Xistrictions on aid to Cambodia includ-
ing the ceiling of $200 million on mili-
tary assistance, and agreed to exempt
'the MAP ceiling up to $75 million
Mergency assistance under the Presi-
_dAt'S special drawdown authority. I
tr,_usfi: ffiat these funds may be sufficient
.to.,e4able the Cambodian armed forces
.to meet-Thai minimum requirements for
_
the remainder of this fiscal year. I per-
sonally am deeply concerned, however,
at the effect on the situation in Cam-
bodia of sharply reduced American
assistance.
The Senate conferees accepted the
House language on aid to South Korea,
which had been the subject of much dis-
cussion and compromise before passage
of the House bill.
' I was pleased that a spirit of com-
promise marked the conference discus-
sions. Overall, I believe the results were
constructive. I urge approval of this con-
ference report.
Mr. BUCHANAN, Mr. Speaker, will
the gentleman yield?
Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. I yield to the
gentleman from Alabama.
Mr. BUCHANAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise
in support of the conference report and
commend the conferees for a job well
done.
This does seem to constitute a good
balance between political and humani-
tarian considerations, but I am espe-
cially interested in the humanitarian
aspect.
With reference to food aid, the confer-
ence report properly focuses, in my
judgment, on the food needs of the
countries most seriously affected by the
world economic crisis.
Mr. Speaker, I would like to commend
the gentleman from New Jersey, the
ranking minority member of our com-
mittee, who is retiring, for all his out-
standing work and for his good repre-
sentation in this conference.
I would like to thank him for his sup-
port of the proposition that a large pro-
portion of our development assistance
and food aid will go to the countries
most seriously affected by the food crisis.
Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. Mr. Speaker,
I thank the gentleman for his remarks.
I should like to say that the report
seeks to reflect a balance between politi-
cal and humanitarian considerations. As
has just been indicated, we have pro-
vided that agricultural development aid
should be concentrated on countries with
per capita income of less $300.
In section 55 of the conference report,
which is found on page 28, we have di-
rected that:
Not more than 30 percent of concessional
food aid should be allocated to countries
other than those which are most seriously
affected by current food shortages.
In my opinion, this language clearly
directs that the President should provide
to the countries most seriously affected
by the food' crisis at least 70 percent of
all food assistance. This aid includes both
grants and credit sales, under title I and
title II of Public Law 480.
The House conferees agreed to these
provisions, to assure that the gentle-
man's humanitarian concerns are met.
Mr. STEIGER of Wisconsin. Mr.
Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. I yield to the
gentleman from Wisconsin.
Mr. STEIGER of Wisconsin. Mr.
Speaker, I thank the gentleman from
New Jersey very much for yielding and
I also thank him for his explanation and
his leadership.
Can I seek to find out something noted
on page 16 of the conference report, sec-
tion 37, that portion of the conference
report entitled, "Assistance to South
Vietnamese Children."
In fiscal year 1974, it was my recollec-
tion?and I do not have my file with
me--that there was a specific earmark-
ing for assistance to South Vietnamese
children through private voluntary
agencies.
The language found on page 16 of the
conference report, while it does specif-
ically earmark $10 million for carrying
out sections (1) and (2) of section 37 (a) ,
does not continue the specific earmark-
ing of funds to be available through
voluntary agencies; is my understanding
correct?
Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. Mr, Speaker,
I might say to the gentleman from Wis-
? consin that, if he will look at the last
sentence of section 37(b) that specific
protection is provided. The language is
as follows:
Assistance provided under this section
shall be furnished, to the maximum extent
practicable, under the auspices of and by
international agencies or private voluntary
agencies.
The importance and the reason for
this language is, quite clear. What has
been done has been successful in large
measure because of the activities of pri-
vate agencies, and we would like to see
this kind of assistance continued and
supported to the extent that authoriza-
tion is provided in this bill for private
agencies.
Mr. STEIGER of Wisconsin. Mr.
Speaker, if the gentleman will yield still
further, as I recall the figure, the Con-
gress last year in the foreign aid appro-
priation earmarked $5 million for assist-
ance to South Vietnamese children
through the private agencies and Dan
Parker, as the Administrator of the
Agency for International Development.
took the lead in upping that to $7.5 mil-
lion. Is it the understanding of the con-
ferees that the amount to be available
shall be at least what was available last
year for the private volunteer agencies ?
Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. I might say to
the gentleman from Wisconsin that the
authorizing committee is not in a posi-
tion to designate how much money is ac-
tually to be made available. But it is our
hope that sufficient appropriations will
be available to allow at least as much
support for the efforts which private
agencies have been making as has been
the case in previous years.
Mr. STEIGER of Wisconsin. Mr. Speak-
er, I thank the gentleman from New
Jersey very much. I do want to say that
I am deeply grateful to the Committee
on Foreign Affairs for their sensitivity to
and their leadership on behalf of efforts
to increase the kind of aid that goes to
assist the children of Vietnam.
Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. I thank the
gentleman.
Mr. MORGAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 5
minutes to the gentleman from Iowa
(Mr. Gaoss) .

mission to revise and extend his re-
marks.)

C.UNURESSIONAL RECORD ?HOUSE December 18, 1974
Vania, Mr. Moneeen the chairman 'of the
Foreign Affairs Committee, for his con-
eideration in giving me this 5 minutes.
Mr. Speaker, I should like to ask some-
one conversant with this conference re-
Port the total figure now in the bill?
Mr, MORGAN. Two billion, six hun-
dred ninety-seven million dollars.
Mr. GROSS. Two billion, six hundred
ninety-seven million dollars?
MraMORGAN. That is correct.
Mr. GROSS. That is an increase, is
it not, Over the bill as it left the House?
? Mr. MORGAN. It is $39.9 million more.
Mr. GROSS. I thank the gentleman.
Mr. Speaker, I wonder where those
"doves," who suddenly became anti-
Turkish warriors, are this afternoon in
the consideration of this bill.
The effective cutoff date for aid to
Turkey when this bill left the House
last week was to be effective with the
enactment of the bill. I now understand
that the date has been extended to Feb-
ruary 5.
Where are those warriors that were in
full cry last week on the floor of the
House, and who got a 3-to-1 vote in favor
of an immediate cutoff?
Mr. ROSENTHAL. Mr. Speaker, will
the gentleman yield?
Mr. GROSS. And what happened, I
might ask, when Secretary of State Kis-
singer made a foray over to Capitol Hill
on Monday night of this week to con-
fer, I do not know with whom, but ob-
viously he did not confer with many
Members of the House. Are we, the ordi-
nary. Members of the House, going to be
let in, on the secret of what happened
that suddenly turned the anti-Turkish
warriors around?
Mr. ROSENTHAL. Mr. Speaker, will
the gentleman yield?
Mr. GROSS. I am glad to yield briefly
to the gentleman from New York.
Mr. ROSENTHAL. .I would be happy to
answer any specific question the gentle-
man has,
Mr. GROSS. I thought I propounded
a couple of questions.
Mr, ROSENTHAL. I followed this mat-
ter very closely, as the gentleman knows.
There have been a series of discussions
over the last 3 days taking into account
the complex parliamentary situation the
House found itself in, that is, considera-
tion and passage of this bill, considera-
tion and passage or the continuing reso-
lution, and consideration of the House
adinarning sometime this week.
Mr. GROSS. I can read all of that into
the manipulations that apparently took
Place, but what I would like to have are
a few specifics of what happened when
the Secretary of State came up here and
made his deal with the gentleman or the
gentleman made his deal with him. Give
us a quick fill-in, if the gentleman can
do so.
Mr. ROSENTHAL. If the gentleman
will yield, I would be very happy to do
that. But I also have to point out that
one of the significant advantages of those
who took the position in favor of the cut-
off is that the cutoff in the Foreign As-
sistance Act is permanent legislation so
that we do not have this burden again
in February or at any other time to add
it onto the continuing resolution or an
additional appropriation. This will be
permanent law, and it was considered in
the interest of not only the Members of
this body, but of the people on CYnrus,
taking into account all the events.
Mr. GROSS. There were those in the
House last week who tried to reason with
the gentleman in that respect, but it
had no effect at all because the House
voted 3 to 1 for his position for an im-
mediate cutoff of aid to Turkey.
Mr. ROSENTHAL. If the gentleman
will yield, that is precisely right. The dis-
tinction is that this is permanent law
and will not have to be brought up again
in continuing resolutions. That is a very
significant event.
Mr. GROSS. Yes; btit the gentleman
does not get his immediate cutoff; does
he? He gave them a month and 5 days;
did ,he not?
Mr. ROSENTHAL. If the gentleman
will yield further, the cutoff is permanent
law, suspended under certain previsions.
The provisions are that Turkey will obey
the cease-fire and that there is no trans-
shipment of American military equip-
ment.
Mr. GROSS. I still do not know who
capitulated.
Mr, ROSENTHAL. Nobody capitulated.
Reasonable men discussed this.
Mr. SARBANES. Mr. Speaker, will
the gentleman yield?
Mr. GROSS. I will yield briefly to the
eentleman from maryland.
Mr. SARI3ANES. I thank the gentle-
men for yielding.
The fact of the matter is, what this
provision now accomplishes is that the
cutoff with respect to aid to Turkey be-
comes a permanent part of U.S,_ law. It
is allowed to be suspended until the 5th
of February, but for the first time the
cutoff, which was previously only on
temporary legislation wineli expired of
its own accord on a certain date, now
becomes permanent, and the gentleman
in the well knows it.
Mr. GROSS. The cutoff would have
been immediate under that bill, and the
Lentleman knows it.
Mr. SAAB ANES. The gentleman in the
well recognizes the difference.
The SPEAKER. The time of the gen-
tleman has expired.
Mr. MORGAN. Mr. Seeaker, I yield
1 additional minute to the gentleman
from Iowa.
Mr. GROSS. I thank the gentleman,
I notice on page 38 of the conference
report the following language:
. . unless the President reported to Con-
cress that the Government of. South
TC orea had made substantial progress in the
,,bservance or international standards of
'human rights.
?
What are "international standards of'
Lumen rights?" Are they the standards
set in Russia, or where?
Mr. MOP,GAN. If the gentleman will
yield, the gentleman knows this is the
exact language that passed thia body
last Wednesday. It is not changed at all.
Mr. GROSS. That may be, but what
e "international standards of human
rights?" Does anyone want to make a
?eontribution to the cause of definition?
Mr. ZABLOCKI. Mr. Speaker, will the
gentleman yield?
Mr. GROSS. I yield to the gentleman
from Wisconsin.
Mr. ZABLOCKI. I thank the gentle-
man for yielding.
The international standards of human
rights are spelled out and defined in the
Charter of the United Nations.
Mr. GROSS. And they are the human
rights in Uganda, in Burndi, in Ethiopia,
in Russia; in Czechoslovakia, in Poland.
Are those the human rights the gentle--
man is talking about? These are the in-
ternational standards?
Mr. ZABLOCKI. Those are the viola-
tions--
Mr. GROSS. And these "international
standards" are now being applied to
South Korea to the exclusion of all the
nations I have mentioned and more that
could be conjured up. The fact of the
matter is there is no "international
standard of human rights" except those
to fit any and every occasion.
This conference report ought to be de-
feated. We ought to put an end now to
this business of spewing out the resources
of the people of this country and increas-
ing the debt, deficit and inflation.
The SPEAKER. The time of the gen-
tleman has expired.
Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. Mt. Speaker,
I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from
Ohio (Mr. WHALEN) .
(Mr. WHALEN asked and was given
permission to revise and extend his re-
marks.)
Mr. WHALEN. Mr. Speaker, I thank
the gentleman for yielding.
Mr. Speaker, when I discussed H.R.
17234 on the House floor on December 10,
I made the comment that any resem-
blance between that measure and the bill
which was originally presented to the
Foreign Affairs Committee last June was
purely coincidental. ? The substantial
changes between the original bill and
the one which we considered last week
were achieved largely as a result of the
actions of a group of members of the
Foreign Affairs Committee who met pe-
riodically prior to the bill's markup to
try to make some order out of chaos. This
group prepared and introduced 29
amendments, and 26 of these amend-
ments were adopted by the Foreign Af-
fairs Committee during its deliberations.
These amendments, Mr. Speaker, fell
into three areas.
First. They achieved substantial net
reductions in the authorization requests.
Second. They limited transferability of
funds.
Third. They presented a very strong
human rights posture in the bill.
Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate
the House conferees for preserving the
House position which we took in the For-
eign Assistance Act. Indeed, Iteink the
conference committee strengttateed the
bill in the three areas which I mentioned.
Therefore, Mr. Speaker, I rise in support
of the conference report and urge that
my colleagues vote affirmatively for it.
Mr. Speaker, I think I would be re-
miss if I did not take note of the fact
that two of the gentlemen who are sitting
with me at the committee table will be
working for the last time on Foreign Af-
fairs Committee legislation. I am refer-
ring of course to the ranking Minority

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD HOUSE
mernher; Congressman PETER FRELING-
HUT= from New Jersey and our friend
-AI Westphal whe is leaving the commit-
tee at the end of? the year. I take this
opportunity to wish both of them well
and to wish them a very pleasant and
productive retirement.
I Would also note One other member
of our group, the gentleman from Iowa
(Mr. GROSS) , but since he received so
many aceolades in the special order the
other day I did not wish to presume fur-
ther upon his time.
Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. Mr, Speaker,
/ have no further request for time.
Mr. MORGAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2
minutes to the gentleman from New York
(Mr. BINGHAM) .
(Mr. BINGHAM asked and was given
permission to revise and extend his re-
marks.)
Mr. BINGHAM. Mr. Speaker, I too
would like to compliment the conferees
and the chairman on the excellent job
they have done. I think we have a good
bill before us. I am particularly pleased
to note that the provisions with respect
to the cutoff of the funds from UNESCO
Which I offered on the floor of the House
have been suitably broadened.
I would like to ask the chairman just
one or two questions. If I may have the
attention of the chairman, I note there
was a withdrawal of certain earmarkings
for Middle Eastern funds but that the
conference report states clearly what is
the intention of the Congress with re-
spect to the use of those funds.
.Mr. MORGAN. That is correct. It is
spelled out.
Mr. BINGHAM. In other words, it is
expected that the figures specified would
be followed out exactly.
The only additional point I would like
to make is that I am a little unhappy
about a change the conferees made with
respect to the veto powers which the
Congress will have with respect to cash
ants sales. The conferees apparently
changed the time limit for such con-
gressional vetoes from 20 legislative days
to 20 calendar days. I would like to have
the chairman assure us that the staff of
the Foreign Affairs Committee will be
alerted to watch this very carefully be-
cause 20 calendar days is often a very
short time within which Congress may
act.
Mr, MORGAN. I can assure the gen-
tleman that it will be so. The only rea-
son for the change aecepted in confer-
ence is that next year, after consultation
with the leadership on both sides, it has
been decided that we will take several
recesses. This could unduly prolong con-
gressional action with respect to some
sales. The conferees agreed, therefore,
that 24alendar days would be better.
But I sure the gentleman from New
Yorktut at we will be watching this
care fly,
? Mr.,,}3.INGHAM. In other words, if this
provision sloes not give Congress enough
time* act if it wants tq exercise the
veto power, I presume we will reexamine
that at a, future date.
Mr., MMGAII. speaker, I yield
1 nainUte, to the gentleman from Mis-
souri (Mr. 8TMINGTON) .
(Mr. -15NINGT,ON asked and was
given perinisilon to revise and extend his
remarks.)
? Mr. SYMINGTON. Mr. Speaker, I take
this opportunity to refer again to the
food-for-peace provisions of the bill. The
record is now explicit with respect to
what is meant by concessional food aid,
in section 55(a) (5).
It is clear from the colloquy that oc-
curred in the other body, and here, that
what is meant by that subsection is that
not more than 30 Percent of title I con-
cessional food sales may be allocated to
countries other than those most seriously
affected by-food shortages.
The word concessional is a term of
art. It only refers to title I sales for
foreign currency. It means sales on con-
cessional terms. It is not used redun-
dantly in this or any other section: It is
not used with respect to title II, the title
which deals with grant programs.
It is quite important that we nail this
down for the record. We are not talking
about 30 percent of the total of food aid
under title II plus concessional aid under
title I, but only of title I concessional
food aid. For the coming fiscal year, this
would be restricted 'to the amount of $255
million. I am glad both bodies have ac-
cepted this interpretation.
Mr. MORGAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2
minutes to the gentleman from Massa-
chusetts (Mr. HARRINGTON) .
(Mr. HARRINGTON asked and was
given permission to revise and extend
his remarks.)
Mr. HARRINGTON. Mr. Speaker, if I
could, I would like to direct some ques-
tions to the chairman concerning the
$377 million ceiling on aid to Cambodia,
which was contained in both the House
and Senate bills.
The Senate and the House both
adopted nearly identical provisions,
which fixed a definite dollar limit on the
amount of aid to Cambodia. Further-
more, the Senate bill contained a pro-
vision repealing the entire drawdown au-
thority, and the House report specified
no drawdown funds were to be used for
Cambodia. As a; result, I fail to under-
stand the basis for the conference pro-
viding Cambodia with up to $75 million
above the $377 million ceiling from the
drawdown authority, since this action
seems to me clearly opposed to the obvi-
ous intent on the part of both Houses to
set an absolute ceiling on U.S. aid to
Cambodia.
Mr. MORGAN. Well, the gentleman
knows, he attended many of the markup
sessions, the House bill contained $250
million drawdown authority. The Senate
bill repealed the drawdown authority. On
the first day of the conference, the con-
ferees agreed to extend the drawdown
authority but to reduce the level to $150
million. At this point the issue of the use
of the drawdown authority in Cambodia
was opened.
The House bill would have permitted
the use of all the agreed-on $150 million
drawdowu in Cambodia. The Senators
objected on the grounds that although
their bill only applied to military assist-
ance, Public Law 480 and economic as-
sistance, they did not want to give the
authority to increase the Cambodia pro-
grain another $150 million.
It was recognized, however, that in the
absence of any new language regarding
drawdown, the executive branch would
I-1 12213
likely to have used the entire $150 million
for Cambodia.
As a result, conferees agreed to limit
the amount of drawdown authority
which could possibly be used in Cambodia
to $75 million. In doing so, they were act-
ing entirely within their competence.
Mr. HARRINGTON. Mr. Speaker, one
further question, if I may. My under-
standing was that we adopted by a rather
sizeable margin of an absolute limit of
$377 million for Cambodia. The House
maintained its intent not to allow any
other funds to be used for that purpose.
I am wondering why the conferees did
not take that into account in voting as
they did?
Mr. MORGAN. The committee of con-
ference did place a $75-million limit on
the use of the drawdown for Cambodia.
Otherwise the entire $1,50 million could
have been used.
Mr. HARRINGTON. Is it the intent of
the conferees not to allow that drawdown
authority to apply to Cambodia, in view
of the absolute limit?
Mr. MORGAN. Well, as far as the
chairman is concerned, on the use of the
drawdown authority, the language of the
conference report speaks for itself.
Mr. HARRINGTON. And that will ap-
ply to Southeast Asia as directed?
The SPEAKER. The time of the gen-
tleman has expired.
Mr. MORGAN. Mr. Speaker, I have
no further reauegts for time.
Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. Mr. Speaker,
I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from
Illinois (Mr. McCLORY).
(Mr. McCLORY asked and was given
Permission to revise and extend his re-
marks.)
Mr. McCLORY. Mr. Speaker, I really
want to particularly commend the con-
ferees on providing a resolution on a
very difficult question with regard to
negotiating a peaceful settlement in the
Cyprus situation. I think they have done
a very commendable job and it is in the
best interest of our Nation, as well as
the best interest of Turkey and Greece
and peace in the world.
Mr. Speaker, in supporting the con-
ference report on foreign aid, I am
pleased to note that the Congress has
effected a careful review of our entire
program of economic and military aid.
Mr. Speaker, I am particularly pleased
to note that my votes in support of a
cutoff of aid to Turkey are consistent
with our efforts to assist in a negotiation
of the Cyprus situation.
Mr. BIAGGI. Mr. Speaker, I rise to
give my support to this conference report
to the Foreign Assistance Act of 1974. I
congratulate the conferees and I am par-
ticularly pleased that they have placed
as one of their key priorities the restora-
tion of peace in the war ravaged nation
of Cyprus.
I was gratified that my amendment
to provide $25 million in urgently needed
emergency aid to Cyprus was retained.
As I indicated last week during consid-
eration of this bill in the House, this aid
is critical if the nation and people of
Cyprus are to recover from the devastat-
ing effects of 5 months of civ_l strife
and occupation by the nation of Turkey.
This aid will assist in answering the
most urgent needs of the Cypriot people,
namely for food, medical assistance and

housing for the quarter of a million men,
women, and children refugees on the
island.
The nation of Cyprus is indeed in her
darkest hour of need. We the Congress
have responded to their plight in the
best humanitarian tradition, and I rec-
ommend that this legislation be passed
today.
I am also pleased to see this report
contains the thrust of the intention of
the House with respect to the continued
providing of aid to Turkey under the
Foreign Assistance Act. Under the com-
promise agreement all military assist-
ance and sales will be suspended on the
date of enactment of the bill, but allows
the President to lift the suspension until
February 5 if he determines that such
action will further negotiations for a
peaceful solution of the Cyprus conflict
and only if during that time Turkey ob-
serves the cease-fire and does not in-
crease her forces on Cyprus or divert any
U.S. military aid for use on the island.
I feel this represents an effective and
workable arrangement and one which
silettld help further the cause of peace.
I feel this will give the administration
the leverage they need, but at the same
time makes it clear to Turkey that any
continued aggressions against Cyprus
will result in a complete and irrevocable
cutoff of aid.
The goal of peace and the future se-
curity of Cyprus stand to be the ultimate
beneficiaries of this legislation. We have
fought long and hard on the Cyprus is-
sue, yet we have remained steadfast in
our convictions concerning Turkey and
her illegal use of our aid. What we are
considering today represents the culmi-
nation Of our efforts, and a successful
one at that. It is legislation Which we
should be proud of and pass without any
further delay.
mr, mtADEMAS. Mr. Speaker, I rise
in support of the conference report en
the Foreign Assistance Act of 1974.
Many of the programs authorized by
this bill are of great importance' to the
effective operation of the foreign policy
Of the United States.
But, Mr. Speaker, I also wish to take
time to address myself to one aspect of
the Foreign Assistance Act with respect
to which, as my colleagues know, I have
been especially concerned as have many
other Members of the House, and I here
refer particularly to the gentleman from
New York (Mr. ROSENTHAL) and the gen-
tleman from Maryland (Mr. SaaeeNes).
I refer, of course, to the provision in
the bill under consideration that would
Melee mandatory a suspension of all mili-
tary sales and assistance from the United
States to Turkey after February 5, 1975,
tmleas and until:
First. Turkey complies with the For-
eign Assistance Act, the Foreign Military
Sales Act, and any agreement entered
into by Turkey under such acts; and
Second. Substantial progress toward
agreement has been made regarding
military tomes in Cyprus.
Now, Mr. Speaker, I should note that
the effect of the inclusion of this amend-
anent ni the Foreign Assistance Act of
1,974 Is to incorporate the cutoff Ian-
ggage. commonly known as the Rosen-
thal-Eagleton amendment, into Perma-
nent law. My colleagues, Mr. ROSENTHAL
and Mr. SARBANES, and I, as well as Sena--
tor EAGLETON, regard such incorporation
as a most important and significant de-
velopment.
Let rue,, Mr. Speaker, explain why I
make this observation. Until the ap-
proval of the conference report under
consideration, the Foreign Assistance
Act of 1974, this cutoff language was a
part of the continuing appropriations
resolution, which is a tempprary funding
measure.
With the incorporation of the cutoff
language into permanent law, however,
the language may be changed only by a
bill passed by Congress.
In my own judgment?arid in the
judgment of my colleagues, Mr. .11oseer-
THAL, MT. SARBANES, and Senator EAGLE-
TON?it Is highly unlikely that Congress
would support another delay in the sus-
pension of aid to Turkey unless and
until:
First. The Government of Turkey?in
eccord with the Rosenthal-Eagleton
amendment?complies with the oreign
Assistance Act, and any agreement en-
tered into by Turkey under sueli acts;
and
Second. Substantial progress toward
agreeJnelA has been Made regardMg mili-
tary forces in CyPrus.
In the absence of both these cenditions
s of February 5, 1975, U.S. military aid
,lantei erles to Turkey will be cut off 'on that
Mr. Speaker, I mei sure I voice the view
of every Member of the House when I
,
say that I hope that there will be a speedy
and just resolution of the problems, both
humanitarian and political, that have
arisen in Cyprus.
Mr. Speaker, I include at this point in
the REcoee the text of the statement of
yesterday, December 17, 1974, of Senator
EAGLETON, Congressman ROSI:NTHAL,
Congressman Sainwas, and me , on the
matter of the cutoff of U.S. military aid
to Turkey.
The statement follows:
CUTOFF OF U.S. MIT,TTARY Am TO TVILKEY
The conferees have completed their work
onthe Foreign Assistance Act. There has been
a compromise on the cut-off of mllitarr aid
to Turkey. We accept the compromise em-
bodied in the Conference Report. In reaching
this position we considered the interests of
all of the parties to the Cyprus disrrite, the
action of the Senate on this legislation, and
the complex parliamentary situation the
Congress is facing in considering, at this
time, both the Foreign Assistance Act mid a
Continuing Resolution. ,
We take this position for the following
masons:
1. Although the bill permits the temporary
sending of aid until February 5, the cut-off
language of the Rosenthal-Eagleton Amend-
ment now becomes permanent law instead
of a rider on temporary Continuing Appro-
priations Resolutions.
That language suspends all U.S. military
aid to Turkey unless and until:
(a) Turkey complies with the Foreign As-
sistance Act, the Foreign Military Sales Act
and any agreement entered into under such
Acts; and
(b) substantial progress toward agreement
has been. made regarding military forces in
Cyprus.
We regarr, the inCorporatiOn of the Cut-off
language into permanent law as a very im-
portant and significant development. The
language will, of course, be incorporated in
the Continuing Resolution.
2. The bill requires that during the tem-
porary period of suspension of the cut-oil,
Turkey shall:
(a) observe the ceasefire on Cyprus:
(b) not increase its forces on Cyprus: and
(o) not transfer to Cyprus any U.S. sup-
plied implements of war. ?
3. The Conference Committee Report makes
clear that there must be no accelerated ob-
ligations and delivery of military aid during
the extension period.
4. The Conference Report authorizes $25
mnlion for aid to refugees in Cyprus, and
it is our understanding that the Continuing
Appropriations Resolution and any subse-
quent appropriations measures will also con-
tain $25 million for this vital humanitarian
purpose.
5. We are hopeful that meaningful progress
concerning all matters of interest to Cyprus.
both humanitarian and political, will com-
mence shortly.
6. The Foreign Assistance Bill contains a
number of programs important to U.S. policy
in many parts of the world.
Mr. MORGAN. Mr. Speaker, I have no
further requests for time.
Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. Mr. Speaker.
I have no further requests for time.
The SPEAKER. Without objection. the
previous question is ordered.
There was no objection.
The SPEAKER. The question is on the
conference report.
The question was taken; and the
Speaker announced that the ayes ap-
peared to have it.
Mr. GROSS. Mr. Speaker, I object to
the vote on the ground that a quorum is
not present and make the point of order
that a quorum is not present.
The SPEAKER. Evidently a quorum
is not present.
The Sergeant at Arms will notify ab-
sent Members.

Mr. MORGAN. Mr. Speaker, I ask

may have 5 legislative days in which to
revise and extend their remarks on the
conference report just agreed to.

the request of the gentleman from
Pennsylvania?
There was no objection.
EASTERN WILDERNESS AREAS ACT
OF 1974
Mr. MELCHER. Mr. Speaker, I ask
unanimous consent that the Committee
on Interior and Insular Affairs be dis-
charged from further consideration of
the Senate bill (S. 3433) to further the
purposes of the Wilderness Act by
designating certain acquired lands for
inclusion in the National Wilderness
Preservation System, to provide for
study of certain additional lands for such
inclusion, and for other purposes, and
ask for its immediate consideration.
The Clerk read the title of the Senate
bill.
The SPEAKER. Is there objection to
the request of the gentleman from Mon-
tana?
Mr. HOSMER. Reserving the right to
object, I do so for the purpose of inquir-
ing of the gentleman as to the 'general
features of the legislation as he desires
it to be brought before the House at this
point.
Mr. MELCHER. If the gentleman will
yield, we are asking for the considera-
H 12215
tion of the eastern Wilderness bill. It
Involves designating that wilderness as
constituting 16 areas in the East and 17
to be designated as study areas, all in
the Eastern United States. It is a Sen-
ate-passed bill.
It was approved unanimously by the
Committee on Interior and Insular Af-
fairs, and it is a bill that has been co-
sponsored by over 100 Members of the
House.
Mr. HOSMER. Mr. Speaker, I thank
the gentleman.
I fully approve of its nature and of
the purpose of the legislation and with-
draw my reservation of objection.
The SPEAKER. Is there objection to
the request of the gentleman from Mon-
tana?
There was no objection.
The Clerk read the Senate bill, as
follows:
S. 3433
Be it enacted by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United States of
America in Congress assembled, That this
Act may be known as the "Eastern Wilder-
ness Areas Act of 1974".
STATEMENT OF FINDINGS AND POLICY
SEC. 2. (a) The Congress finds that?
(1) in the more populous eastern half of
the United States there is an urgent need
to identify, study, designate, and preserve
areas for addition to the National Wilderness
Preservation System;
(2) areas of wilderness in the more popu-
lous eastern half of the United States are
increasingly threatened by the pressures of
a growing and more mobile population,
large-scale industrial and economic growth,
nd development and uses inconsistent with
the protection, maintenance, and enhance-
ment of the areas' wilderness character;
- (3) the national forests in the eastern
United States consist predominantly of ac-
quired lands where the impact of man's past
activity has been substantial, and the resto-
ration of such lands for conservation pur-
poses and specifically for wilderness pur-
poses requires considerable effort;
(4) there is a growing need for the broad
range of recreational opportunities which
can be provided within the national forest
system; and
(5) among these opportunities is the op-
portunity for present and future genera-
tions to enjoy primitive recreation in a spa-
cious, natural, and wilderness setting.
(b) Therefore, the Congress finds and de-
clares that it is in the national interest that
areas hereinafter cited in the eastern half
of the United States be promptly designated
as wilderness within the National Wilderness
Preservation System, and that additional
areas be promptly studied. These actions are
required in order to preserve such areas as
an enduring source of wilderness which shall
be managed to promote and perpetuate the
wilderness character of the land and its
specific? values of solitude, physical and
mental challenge, scientific study, inspira-
tion, and primitive recreation for the benefit
of all of the American people of present and
future generations.
