ment, 'The United States now can reduce its

groups should be consolidated with other ele-
ments in our overseas missions as soon as
possible.'

subsection (a) of this section, the total num-
ber of United States military personnel as-
signed and detailed, as of September 30, 1971,
to United States military assistance advisory
groups, military missions, and other orga-
nizations of the United States performing
activities similar to such groups and mis-
sions, shall be reduced by at least 25 per
centum by September 30, 1972.

ing such fund:; unless Congress has specifi-
cally authorized or specifically authorizes
the making of funds available for such pus-
pose and designates the area where military
operations flnr;xnced by such funds may be
undertaken outside such borders.
"(b) Upon requesting Congress to make
any such authorization, the :President shall
provide to Congress a copy of any agreement
proposed to be entered into with any such
government or >erson and the complete de-
tails of the proposed military operation. Up-
on such authorization by Congress, the Pres-
ident shall provide a copy of any such agree-
ment and thereafter of all plans and details
of such operat on.

COUNTS.--(a) Except as otherwise provided
by subsection (h) or (c) of this section, no

this or any other law to a foreign country
unless the country agrees-
"(1) to deposit in a special account es-
tablished by the United States Government
the following amounts of currency of that
country:
"(A) in the case of any excess defense
article to be given to that country, an'
amount equal to 25 per centum of the fair
value of the article, as determined by the
Secretary of State, at the time the agreement
to give the article to the country is made;

assistance to be made to that country, an
amount equal to 25 per centu;n of each such
grant; and

cial account as may be determined, from

sary to pay all official costs of the United

grams authorized by the Mutual Educational
and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961.
"(b) The Prev??ident may waive any amount
of currency of a foreign country required
to be deposited under subsection (a) (1) of
this section if he determines that the United
States Government will be able to pay all of
its official costs payable in the currency of
that country enumerated under subsection
(a) (2) of this section without the deposit
of such amount and without having to ex-
pend United States dollars to purchase cur-
rency of that country to pay such costs.
"(c) The provisions of this section shall
not apply in any case In wl.bich an excess
defense article is given, or a grant of mili-
tary assistance is made, to a foreign country
under an agreement with that country which

that country in exchange for that article or
