Of foreign police and related force ,, ][Tow-ever, in conference a com-
promisewas reached with the House which applied the prohibition
only to training. Ibis new provision, in effect, will carry out the objec-
tive endorsed by the Senate last year in S. 2335. The Committee's corn-
rnents on the prohibition proposed z,.st year bear repeating here.
United States participation in the highly sensitive area of
public safety and police training; unavoidably invites criti-
cism from persons who seek to identify the United States with
every act of local police brutality or oppression in any coun-
try in which this program operates. It matters little whether
the charges can be substantiated, they inevitably stigmatize
the total United States foreign aid effort. In undeveloped
areas of the world, the costs of public safety programs are
better left to be underwritten from local resources and the
United States assistance effort directed toward less sensi-
tive areas of social or economic development.
We have troubles enough with police/community relations
in our own society. The (C,ommittee believes that our govern-
ment's efforts would be better directed to this, and our own
crime problem, rather than trying to teach foreigners how
to run their police departments.
The prohibition is not intended to affect narcotics training by the
Drug Enforcement Administration or to be interpreted as barring
the routine sharing with foreigri governments of information on in-
ternational crimes, hijacking, terrori..t activities, and the like.
Section 112 of the Foreign 2ssistar;ee Act, wlr:rich is superseded by
this prohibition, is repealed.
Section'23. Limitations Upon Inteligenre Activities
Section 2ri adds a new section 061 to the foreign Assistance Act
which prol.ribits use of any appropriated funds by or on behalf of the
Central Intelligence Agency or any other agency of the United States
Government for the conduct of opera.; ions in foreign countries pur-
suant to section 109(d) (5) of the National Security Act of 1947 (50
U.S.C. 403), other than operations intruded solely for obtaining neces-
sarv intelligence. 'Notwithstanding t.lis limitation, the President may
authorize and direct that any operation in a foreign country be re-
sumed, or that any other operation in ar, foreign country be initiated,
and fends may be expended therefore, i f, but not before. he (1) finds
that such operation is important, to the national security, and (2)
transmits an appropriate report of hi.; finding. together with an ap-
propriate description of the nature and scope of such operation, to
the committees of the Congress havin. jurisdiction to monitor and re-
view the intelligence activities of the United States Government.
Under subsection (b), the provision: of the restriction will not ap-
ply during military operations by the United States under a decla-
ration of war approved by the Congre-s or an exercise of powers by
the President under the War Powers
