SENATE RESOLUTION 440--RE-
LATINO TO THE WORLD FOOD
SHORTAGES AND RAPID POPULA-
TION GROWTH
Mr. PERCY. Mr. President, I ask
unanimous consent that the report of the
Committee on Foreign Relations in re-
porting a sense of the Senate resolution
relating to the world food shortage and
the rapid population growth be presented
at this time and be taken up for im-
mediate consideration.
Mr. President, I send the resolution to
the desk and the report of the com-
mittee.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The res-
olution will be stated by title.
The legislative clerk read as follows:
A resolution (S. Res. 440), relating to the
world food shortages and rapid population
growth.
The PRESIDING OlsriCER. Is there
objection to the present consideration of
the resolution?
There being no objection, the Senate
proceeded to consider the resolution.
Mr. PERCY. Mr. President, there is no
one am/long us who is not deeply aware of
the current global food crisis. And there
is no one among As who can avoid the
realization that ti Earth's current food
problems?as we as virtually every
other economic ar i social problem fac-
ing humankind? -e and will continue
to be exacerbate( by unlimited global
population growl:. We all know the
facts, or at least I 14ape we do: There are
currently about 4 T. Mien people cn Earth.
In 30 years, there be twiee that num-
ber. Developing co ntries, unable to pro-
vide even subsiste3se standards for their
current population have no -chance of
providing a decent life for twice or three
times as many peopie.
We in Congress snd most of the Amer-
ican public are ,coming increasingly
aware of these fm And judging by the
cooperative spirit 4mong the de:legations
ifrom all sizes am! rypes of countries at
recent World 'Population Conference
ai World Food Thnference, the other
nat s of the wo:- d are aware of them
too, d they are sager to seek remedies
to th4nountirig food and population
problem we all fa
Global cognitnm of the interrelated-
ness of fb1 supplies and 'population
growth is a inOcation of significant
progress. But re real work of seeking
and 1mplementf.j solutions remains. It
is because this w rk will be duff milt and
because it will rerz4e an extraordinary
degree of internasio I spirit and coop-
eration that I ask rty Ileagues' support
for this Senate rasluti at this time.
This resolution is inte ed to express
the sense of the S ,nate thi pursuant to
the initial steps tali, en at th orld Food
and World Popul. .don Conft?es, the
United States shonid cooperato011y and
energetically with other nation to im-
plement effective national and in rna-
tonal policies on food production, or-
age, and distribut ion and on popula n
growth.
The resolution .ates that the Unite .6
States should con r,sibute to meeting the's
immediate' threal of famine 'where it
exists, should co tribute its fair share
to helping poor c intries increase their
food production, -. could support an in-
ternational systc-n of food reserves,
should cooperate with other developed
countries to incrc se economic develop-
ment and popub J,ion planning assist-
ance, should suppert public and private
sector family pla string programs in all
countries, should n-,courage efficient and
equitable worldwi-5,-2 distribution of food,
and should cooper Lte with other nations
to implement agrt, ments reached at the
World Food and P jpulation Conferences.
The resolution recognizes that the
United States is s ,.eady playing a lead-
ing role in such as tivities and is worded
so as to emphasi2e that a concerted in-
ternational attac.s on the problems of
food and population must involve a fair
sharing of the economic burden among
those nations vzhish are able to con-
tribute.
Mr. President, - Lis resolution is very
similar to Senate :.'oncurrent Resolution
113 that Senator itriviPriatey and I and
14 other Senators sponsored in August
At that time we proposed the resolution
as a vehicle throluil which the ,Congress
might express its slew that the pending
World Population ri.d Food Conferences
were of great importance and value in
light of the Earth's rapidly worsening
problems of food shortages and popu-
lation growth.
The two conferences are now past
Both can be considered to have been
successful steps toward global cooper-
ative efforts to improve the quality of
life for all people. But the critical and
extremely complex nature of the inter-
national food and population problems
requires ebntinuing, concentrated efforts
by all members of the international com-
munity to implement and enhance the
agreements arrived at in the course of
those meetings. The ultimate success of
those ongoing efforts depends to a great
extent upon the faith among nations
that each country is seeking earnestly
to do its fair share.
The provisions of this resolution are
not controversial. The U.S. delegations
to the Population and Food Conferences
have already affirmed the critical food
and population situations cited in this
resolution. The operative paragraphs of
this measure serve only to reinforce goals
and commitments the United States has
made at the two conferences and at the
United Nations.
Nonetheless, the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations recognizes the need to
approve this resolution at this time.
While President Ford and Secretary of
State -Kissinger and U.S. delegations
abroad have spoken of our concern for
food? and population programs, the U.S.
Congress has not yet done so. In addi-
tion, the United Nations General As-
sembly, to which I am currently a dele-
gate from the Congress, is now consider-
ing reports of both the World Popula-
tion Conference and the World Food
Conference. I believe an expression of
support by the U.S. Senate for the im-
plementation of the plans and programs
coming out of the conferences will give
eneficial impetus to that implementa-
n.
r. President, many serious difficulties
con ont the people of all nations, but
none more serious than that of simple
survival, Millions of our fellow humans
already eriffer the cruel effects of hunger
and malrettrition. If strong steps are
not taken to increase food production
and simultaneously to /imit the Earth's
burgeoning poNlation, millions of our
fellow humans will face death from star-
vation. We all k' w that the United
States is not willin o allow this fate to
come to pass. We mu therefore, pledge
ourselves to work in co eration with our
global neighbors to m t these chal-
lenges. This resolution c be seen to be
an expression by the representatives of
the American people of our edication
to avert such a fate. I ask for tl unani-
mous approval of the Senate r this
resolution.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there
objection?
Mr. GRIFFIN. Mr. President, reserv-
ing the right to object--
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The
Senator frem Michigan.
Mr, GRIFFIN. Mr. President, I with-
draw my reservation.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The ques-
tion Is on agreeing to the resolution.

McCaw>. I have

t we could get
I would like to ask
ed Senator from Wyo-
the conunittee consider and
omprehensive corrective legis-
ly in 1975?
McGEE. As a member of that com-
e, I am willing to take the Irina-
e with the Senator from Wisconsin.
My answer is yes, with no reservations.
I think the Senator is precisely on. the
right track. As we have diecussed the
matter between the two of us, one of our
concerns only Is that this proposal, e hie,h
is a basic and substantive change in what
has been a habit lb the past and a di-
rective in this body, that more properly
belongs on the State Department au-
thorization bill, which will csame up when
Congress reconvenes. Even so, rather
than wait for that length of time, I think
we can begin to get the Information from
the Department at once.
Mr. PROS:MIRE. That is very helpful
and, for that reason, I ask In the interim
would the committee require that the
State Department release a full bet of
all gifts given by or received by U.S.
officials, given or received, valued at
more than $50 in 1974, and for that
Period of 1975 not covered by new
legislation?
Mr. McGEE. All I can guarantee is
that that would be the request. In other
words, I cannot force, as the Senate:Jr
would appreciate, the State Department
to say, "That is what we are going to
do," but that would be my intention,
that would be our request, in the letter
seeking that information, that it be re-
leased at once.
Mr. PROXMIRE. Would the Senator
from Wyoming, as manager of the bill.
also do his best to see that the commit-
tee determines what other Government
?Maas give or receive gifts?
Mr. McGEE. The oel.v hesitation I
would have on that would be whether we
were running too far afield in terms of
our jurisdiction. I think that there might
be more appropriate ways, and I am just
a little hesitant to preempt the legisla-
tive responsibility of other committees.
I will carry this to the State Department
Mr. PROXMIRE. What this Senator
had in mind was, of course, not to pre-
empt the others. But, it would seem to
me, that any gifts?that le what this
would cover?to foreign heads of state or
the receipt of gifts from foreign heads of
state, of course, should come under the
Jurisdiction of the Committee on For-
eign Relations.
Mr. McGEE. I misunderstood.
Mr. PROXMIRE. Even though it is
done, say, by the Secretary of Commerce
or some other, some Pentagon, official.
Mr. McGEE. I would be prepared to
add that to the letter of request to the
Department.
Mr. PROXMIRE. Would the commit-
tee release the facts puhlicly, including
the names of donors, recipients, and the
costs or would the Senator &evert that
release?
Mr. McGEE. I cannot commit the
committee to thee until I maim that the
subject of committee decision In
other words, I cannot preempt that de-
cision lnmiAvkhially. Roe-ever, that would
be my recommendation to the commit-
tee. And, as the Seesoor would appre-
ciate once more. I would not dare to say
this is hos- the conunittee would vote on
it, but I would make that recammenda-
eon with all the lone) that I could Pr855
suk them.
Mr. PROXMIRE. esay I say to MY
,:oocl friend, the Senator from Wyoming,
that I vas very anxijus to have this
eeenchnent enacted. I think the Senator
:rom Wyoming would probably support
the amendment, too. end I am sure many
ether Senators would.
As I say, Senator Esteem and Senator
MaGoveree are cosponsoring the amend-
snent, end It vas scree_ ted the last time
by the Senate. But, wider the cireum-
-tnees, I understand that It would really
?IWO at 2 the problem of the Senator
from Wyoming if he accepted amend-
/erne', beeauso he Is anxious to get a
bill, ehich is a clean bill, through.
Once he accepts ameadmients, It is go-
re: to be extremely diftcult for him to do
hie job, in view of the /assurances by the
Senator from Wyoming that this will be
elven hfs support and can be called up
eerie nev_ year ellen the State Depart-
ment lege lation is before the Senate, not
the foreign aid bill, because that would

We will proceed on teat without delay.
I shall likewise keep Elm Informed as to
what response we obtain to this request.

)'R1 cu GIF1',1 AIVT:VEMENT
Mr. PROXMIRE. Mr. President, con-
tinuing reports of extravagant gift-giv-
ing among officials of the US. Govern-
MEM and foreign heads of State are
distressing. It Is high time the Congress
put an end to this nonessential ingredi-
ent of our foreign policy. At a time when
President Ford is askirg the American
people to make financial sacrifices in
thelr daily lives to combat inflation, how
can the Federal Government continue
the snowballing trend of "Santa Claus
diplomacy."
My amendment to El. 3394, which is
called the foreign gifts amendment,
would prohibit the expenditure of Fed-
eral taxpayer funds for the giving of
gifts costing more than ;50 to foreign
heads of state or other foreign dig-
nitaries with the tuadersttuiding that
the receipt of' gifts from these foreign
officials would also be eliminated.
YEA Nif.1.1118 GITT-43111WC
; is not the intention of this amend-
ment to interfere with normal diplo-
matic activity nor to hamper the efforts
of eur top foreign policy officials to gen-
erate a mood of goodwill abroad. But
when Presidential "tokens of detente"
reach the $3 million mark--as in the
case of the VH3A Sikorsky helicopter to
Eritrean President Anwar Sadat?it Is
thee to reassess the propriety of these
expenditures. The executive branch has
rarely, if ever, been held accountable
as to where these gifts are going, where
the funds come from, and hoes they are
justified, Subseqeent attempts by the
GAO and congressional staffs to look
into the sources of funding for these
gifts and their costa have been met with
resistance at. both the State Department
and the White House.
International gift-giving has quad-
rupled over the last 25 years. Surely we
must. ask "What are we buying with
these exorbitant gestures of d?nte?"
I believe that my amendment will help
to reassure the American taxpayer that
hes hard-earned dollar Is not being used
to maiiitain a Federal "Spiegel cata-
logs for foreign heads of State.
Let me give you a brief rundown of
how the momentum ef international
gift -,iv,tif, 11ns snov-hoPed in the past
year
I I-!: SADAI i
The most obvious recent example was
a i el the unprecedented gift of the VIP
Navy Sikorsky helicopter from former
President Nixon to Egyptian President
Anwar Sadat during Mr. Nixon's June
1974 visit to Egypt. The General Ac-
counting Office, in response to my re-
quest of June 27, confirmed that the
helicopter was given under section 451
of the 1973 Foreign Assistance Act that
Is primarily reserved for disaster relief
contkigencies. The 'GAO reported
that--
Although not strictly Illegal, the gift of a
43 million helicopter to President Anwa.
Sadat af Egypt was contrary to the intent
of Congress.
Back in February of this year, Presi-
dent Nixon, under the authority of that
all-purpose contingency act of the For-
eign Assistance Act of 1961, permitted
the granting of $10 million in excess
Egyptian pounds to the Wafaa wet
Antal?Royal and Hope Society?an
Egyptian charitable organization
headed by the wife of President Sadat.
In order to make the grant legal, the
President had to waive restrictions con-
tained under section 620 of the act and
fulfill two conditional waiver rights.
Then on October 7, 1974, it was re-
ported that the United States was trans-
ferring a highly coveted $1 million tract
of Government land to President Sadat
so that the Egyptian President could
build a mansion beside the Nile River in
Cairo. This is even more suspicious when
considering that the Egyptian President
already has a palatial residence in Giza
near the lavish hotel district in Cairo.
These examples of diplomatic extrava-
gance and waste, coupled with the Sec-
retary of State's habit of visiting foreign
nations laden with gifts, must be incred-
ibly frustrating and discouraging to the
farmer in Wyoming or the factory
worker in Milwaukee who May not be
able to afford Christmas gifts for their
children this month.
Mr. President, I have talked with many
of my constituents in the last several
monthe, and believe me, they are dis-
turbed about this. They have brought up
this helicopter gift a number of times.
It has become a symbol of waste and ex-
travagance in the Federal Government,
and they wonder about the gift that
came tack, about which we do not have
information.
Mr. President, the point I wish to make
is this. It is not the legality nor illegality
of there gifts that causes concern. Nor
do I wish to inhibit the progress of de-
tente with Egypt or any other nation.
But at a time when inflation is at a rec-
ord high and the Nation is crying out for
decreased Federal spending, the Senate
should see that the taxpayer is not sad-
dled with the financial burden of supply-
ing our top Government officials with
free diplomatic "toys."
We are not a European monarchy. Nor
are we an oil rich Middle East nation ac-
customed to lavish gift-giving. Foreign
policy should be based on mutual self-
interesa?not the giving of gifts.
Mr. President, the Senate accepted a
similar amendment of the preceding for-
eign aid bill. I hope that the committee
will once again favorably look upon this
amendment. It is the same $50 limitation
for both gift giving and receiving. And
the same authors of the original amend-
ments, Senators BROOKE and McGoveine,
are again cosponsoring this effort.
