Mr. MICA. Mr. Chairman, I would
like to know If the situation is correct
as I have stated it.
We had a vote prior to the quorum
call on the en bloc amendments. The
en bloc amendments were approved,
but there was a quorum call and a pos-
sible call for a recorded vote. After the
quorum call, there was a decision not
to request a recorded vote, so we are
now moving on in regular order for
amendments, with amendments to this
bill.
An amendment has been offered.
and there has been an objection raised
as to whether or not the amendment
would be accepted at this time pending
the quorum in the House; is that cor-
rect?
The CHAIRMAN. That is correct.
And the objection was raised on the
basis that the gentleman from New
York could not hear the unanimous-
consent request of the gentleman from
Georgia to dispense with the reading
of his proposed modification of his
pending amendment.
Mr. WEISS. Mr. Chairman, I could

The CHAIRMAN. The time of the
gentleman from Georgia (Mr. SwtN-
DALL] has expired.
(By unanimous consent, Mr. SwiN-
DALL was allowed to proceed for 20 ad-
ditional seconds.)
Mr. SWINDALL. Mr. Chairman, the
other aspect of this bill is that it
would save us billions and billions of
dollars with respect to what we lose to
the Soviet Union in stolen technology.
Lastly, I would say that there is a
concern that we would be retaliated
against by some of the East Bloc coun-
tries, and I would say that we have so
much more to protect than do the
East Bloc countries that that is a
small price to pay for the American
people.
Mr. MICA. Mr. Chairman, I rise in
opposition to this amendment.
Mr. Chairman, I do not want to take
too much time on this matter, but I do
want to say that I understand that my
colleague, the gentlewoman from
Maine [Ms. SxowE], will also oppose
the amendment. It is not that we do
not have any interest in controlling
and, where necessary, to restrict the
movements of diplomats in the United
States. We have tried to assess the
impact of this amendment. The com-
mittee has talked directly with the
CIA and with our own intelligence
community. The basic problem with
the way this piece of legislation is
drafted is that ultimately we will win
only the first move.
We restrict the movements of for-
eign diplomats in New York City and
in Washington. But, at the same time,
American diplomats, today enjoy such
free access in a number of East Bloc
countries we would lose 80 percent of
the freedom we have under this
amendment.
As chairman of the subcommittee-
and I might ask my ranking minority
member to work with me on this-we
might be able to fashion legislation
that would accomplish this goal. But
we do have concerns about the amend-
ment offered today without the bene-
fit of any further study. 1 would
accept the view of the Director of the
CIA that the ultimate problem with
this amendment, as worded, is that we
would end up briefly restricting some
foreign diplomats and mission officials
in the United States. an action which
will trigger a reprisal under the guise
of reciprocity aimed against American
diplomats around the world. As I have
said we would lose about 80 percent of
the time.
Mr. BURTON of Indiana. Mr. Chair-
man, will the gentleman. yield'
Mr. MICA. I yield to the gentlema.-,
from Indiana.
MI,-, B'.-RTON of Ir:diar"a
man, let me get this straight. I think
the gentleman just said that this
would restrict the mobility of our
agents in Communist bloc countries or
that there might be retaliatory action
that might be taken and it would be to
the detriment of the United States.
I wish the gentleman would elabo-
rate on or illuminate that statement a
little bit more for me. It seems to me
that we have beaucoup Communist
bloc agents in this country who are
able to go almost anywhere. at will,
and I do not see how it is going to be
counterproductive if we restrict them
just a little bit. If there is some kind of
a point that I am missing here, I
would like to know more about It.
Mr. MICA. Mr. Chairman, let me
again just state this: I do not have the
numbers at hand, but the committee
has consulted with the Director of the
CIA and our intelligence community.
First, the U.S. Government has al-
ready moved recently to tighten re-
strictions on Soviets traveling in the
United States.
Second, American diplomats
throughout the world are given pretty
free latitude in a number of countries,
including some East bloc countries, to
travel. Yet, if we enforce this amend-
ment, we have been told it is almost a
certainty that countries affected will
take total reciprocal action on this
matter, and if it is applied to the num-
bers worldwide, we will lose in 80 per-
cent of the benefits we enjoy today.
Mr. BURTON of Indiana. Mr. Chair-
man, if I might follow up on that, my
colleague who is sponsoring the
amendment indicated that 25 percent
of the Soviet bloc employees at the
U.N. are KGB agents. They are Com-
munist spies. Is the gentleman saying
that the people who are going to be
hampered, our American citizens
around the world, are also spies?
Mr. MICA. Mr. Chairman, I disagree
with the gentleman and I disagree
with that number. I would say that it
is probably a higher number. But that
does not change the net result. If we
restrict the movement of foreign diplo-
mats the way the amendment pro-
poses, we seriously run the risk of
having the countries named in the
amendment take similar steps against
our people. In 80 percent of the cases,
we will lose an advantage we have en-
joyed for some time. What I would
like to do is work it out so that at least
we have a parity, that we restrict in
such a manner that will properly take
into account our interests overseas. If
not, we will ultimately end up having
some of our numbers restricted three
times more.
Mr. BERMAN. Mr. Chairman, will
the gentleman yield?
Mr. MICA. I yield to the gentleman
from California.
Mr. BERMAN. Mr. Chairman, I
thank the gentleman for yielding. I
appreciate the gentleman's comments,
and I agree with them.
I would like to ask the gentleman a
few questions. Am I correct in my un-
derstanding that the 'Rdministrati0h
opposes this amendment?
Mr. MICA. Yes. The Director of the
CIA have asked us to strongly oppose
this because, although they agree with
the intent, they continue to say that
as carried out on a second and third
move. we would lose, as I said. 80 per-
cent of the time.
^ 1055
Mr. BERMAN. I appreciate knowing
and being sure of that opposition by
the administration to this amendment.
Am I also correct in my understand-
ing that this administration and this
Secretary of State could do every
single thing provided for in this
amendment under Executive discre-
tion, if he thought it were wise to do
so?
Mr. MICA. Absolutely.
The CHAIRMAN. The time of the
gentleman from Florida has expired.
(At the request of Mr. BERmAN, and
by unanimous consent, Mr. MICA was
allowed to proceed for 3 additional
minutes.)
Mr. MICA. The administration at
this time can do everything in this
amendment under existing authority.
Under this amendment, there would
be no mandatory enforcement because
the Secretary does have a waiver. So
that in essence, the only thing that we
might care to do beyond this is micro-
manage. We do not have the ability
right now. Maybe we need it in the
future.
Mr. BERMAN. Mr. Chairman, if the
gentleman will yield further, I have
several more questions.
It is also my understanding that
based on a very clear record. evidence
from the historical record, these types
of restrictions would naturally result
in similar restrictions within the coun-
tries who they are imposed upon: is
that correct?
Mr. MICA. That is correct.
Mr. BERMAN. And would not those
kinds of restrictions in those countries
limit the ability of our embassies and
our diplomats in those countries to
deal with contacting and outreach to
people who are victims of the kinds of
human rights violations and oppres-
sion and who need help in facilitating
emigration and other kinds of assist-
ance to this country
Mr. MICA. Absolutely, and without
a doubt we could name the list
throughout the East bloc, of countries
where we do have access to numerous
groups from the refuseniks on down
the line that could be restricted, under
the amendment.
Mr. BERMAN. I also note that the
People's Republic of China is one of
the countries mentioned on this list.

strictions imposes by this amendment,

little bit about the way it is being
done.
As I indicated, and as the gentleman
said, it does have the waiver which the
gentleman offered and which we ac-
cepted, and that waiver, we have been
told, is all going to be exercised. Once
it is exercised, everything that we say
is already in law anyhow.
Mr. BURTON of Indiana. Mr. Chair-
man, let me just end up by saying that
in the last couple of days it was
brought out by the gentleman from
California [Mr. HUNTER] that it is
going to cost billions of dollars because
of the loss of technology to the Soviet
Union regarding the sale of high tech-
nology to the Soviets as far as subma-
rines are concerned for us to bring our
defenses up to snuff. Anything that
this body can do to curtail espionage
and Soviet activity of the KGB in this
country should be done, and this legis-
lation that we have in hand today I
think is an excellent amendment. I
commend the gentleman from Georgia
for introducing it and I hope every-
body in this body will embrace it and
support it.
Mr. SMITH of Florida. Mr. Chair-
man, I move to strike the requisite
number of words.
Mr. Chairman, I want to commend
the gentleman who proposed the
amendment for what I consider to be
basically an attempt to address a prob-
lem that all of us are concerned about.
The problem is that, unfortunately,
there has not really been a good
answer up to the point and this
amendment really does not go too far
beyond what has already been
thought about, and I am not saying
that in the negative sense. It means
that we still have a problem address-
ing this issue and we do not know ex-
actly what to do.
My colleagues ought to be aware
that this administration has already
moved in certain areas to foreclose
movement of certain of the organiza-
tions which would be affected, so we
are talking about travel restrictions
that alreay are being imposed on ter-
rorists groups, like the PLO. They
have already been imposed on Libya
and tnev have already been imposed
on other countries which are already
on the list that the gentleman from
Georgia has provided in the amend-
ment.
But the problem of the amendment
arises not in the intent. but in the exe-
cution. As has been said by both the
gentleman from Florida and the gen-
tlewoman from Maine and others,
there is a problern here with limiting
access of U.S. personnel overseas. That
is a very, very big problem. It should
no, be dev:nt)a' ed.
LE', me explain to you why-, and I
will be reading from a backErou-:c
paper from one of our intell:cVnc.
agen, ie: I we ~,ld b, ha;-,y 'tc

is not appropriate. If anyone on the
other side would like to see it, I would
be more than happy to show it to you.
But let me read:
c. The Swindall amendment, if enacted,
would affect the Soviet and NSWP military
attaches, and those of the other countries
identified, very little. Last year, Soviet at-
taches made only seven trips outside metro-
politan Washington. Destinations included:
New York City: West Point: Florida via Ala-
bama, North Carolina, Georgia: Los Angeles
and Anaheim. A Czechoslovak attache made
the only trip by an NSWP attache. Thus,
one can deduce that their work does not
oblige extensive travel. In contract, for U.S.
military attaches, travel in the Warsaw Pact
and other countries above is the most sign-
fiicant issue in their ability to carry out
their missions. In a closed society, the at-
taches must travel to observe and report on
military activities. In 1986. a significant part
of their work effort required travel outside
the capital area.
d. In the event that travel restrictions are
imposed for foreign personnel in the U.S.,
we foresee a strong possibility of reciprocal
actions against our attaches that would di-
minish and restrict their work. For example,
reciprocal actions might include closing
major areas of military significance, re-
stricting personnel to capital city or consul-
ar offices. At the same time, similar restric-
tions would not seriously affect foreign at-
taches because they rely very little on travel
for their purposes. The net loss, then, would
fall on the U.S. attaches.
Let me further continue. The
amendment is written in such a fash-
ion as to possibly also cover personnel
in the mission of our allies. Thus, we
might jeopardize their support for our
efforts. With the exception of the
U.S.S.R., right now United States dip-
lomats may generally travel freely in
all of the countries named in that
amendment.
While the gentleman wants to do a
noble thing, invoking this travel re-
striction could result in our being re-
stricted in almost every country that is
mentioned when we are not restricted
now.
There are serious consequences. Not
that the gentleman's amendment is -
wrongheaded-it is not. The problem
is that we have attempted to deal with
this-and the executive branch-the
Secretary of State and the Depart-
ment of State-already has the capa-
bility to do that. under the current
law-on a piecemeal basis so as not to
have a blanket retaliation. And it is im-
portant for us not to have that retalia-
tion, because we do the kind of work
that is being done in those countries
only because of our free access, even
though we are fearful that they have
the right to travel in this country.
Let me just say also that there is no
enforcement mechanism in this
amendment, so the reality is that-
there would be, unfortunately for its,
nc kicker in the event that they vio-
1,:;. it
Now. with the reference to the gen-
t'Finan from Indiana and his assertion

Act and the definition of foreign mis-
lions, and the personnel therein, is
much broader than the gentleman
would suggest, and I doubt very seri-
ously whether we want to get into the
area that has been explored by the
gentleman from California here with
references to commercial and other
missions and all of the other ramifica-
tions.
I again reiterate, the gentleman
from Georgia is not addressing a prob-
lem that does not exist. It is a real, le-
gitimate problem. The problem that
we have had for more than just the
recent past is that we really have not
found a satisfactory solution, and we
really have not with this amendment
found any better way than we have al-
ready reviewed over the course of
years, and that is why we should
oppose this amendment, but force the
administration to continue to do what
it has been doing, and that is close
down and restrict travel when the cir-
cumstances warrant it, as they have in
the past.
The CHAIRMAN. The time of the
gentleman from Florida [Mr. SMITE]
has expired.
(On request of Mr. SwINDALU and by
unanimous consent, Mr. SMITH of
Florida was allowed to proceed for 2
additional minutes.)
Mr. SWINDALL. Mr. Chairman, will
the gentleman yield for a question and
a colloquy?
Mr. SMITH of Florida. I yield to the
gentleman from Georgia.
Mr. SWINDALL. I thank the gentle-
man for yielding.
Mr. Chairman, the question is: How
many U.N. Secretariat's offices and
U.N. missions are contained in either
the Soviet Union or the Soviet-bloc
countries?
Mr. SMITH of Florida. It is obvious
that there are very few, and mostly be-
cause the headquarters of the United
Nations is here, and most of the work
that they do is not in the Soviet
Union.
Mr. SWINDALL. That is my whole
point. That is the focal point, among
other areas, of this legislation. It is no
accident that we have much of the
spying activity emanating out of of-
fices that are unique to this country
because we allow, if you will, the
United Nations to base in our country.
There is no counterpart upon which
retaliatory measures could be taken,
first.
Second, I think that it is very impor-
tant to recognize that today Libya and
Libya alone has any type of restric-
tions of the magnitude that we suggest
here. Certainly we are not naive
enough to believE that Libya is the
only country that posE a threat to
