MUTUAL SECURITY ACT OF 1960
INTRODUCTION
This bill authorizes $1,318,400,000 for carrying forward certain
portions of the mutual security program. In addition to the parts
of the program included in this authorization the Executive is re-
questing total appropriations of $2,720,100,000 against authorizations
already in effect, of which $2 billion is for military assistance and
$700 million is for the Development Loan Fund.
The authorization is $136,500,000 less than the amount requested
by the Executive and $41,942,000 less than the amounts appropriated
for these same items last year.
The bill contains a number of amendments to the basic legislation
intended to tighten the administration of the program as well as
provisions giving additional guidance to, or imposing new limitations
on, the Executive with respect to future operations..
A table showing the authorizations and the reductions is shown on
page 2.
NECESSITY FOR PROGRAM RECOGNIZED
In evaluating the request for the authorization of additional funds
for economic assistance and in reviewing the military assistance pro-
gram, the committee has given primary consideration to the admin-
istration of the mutual security program. Most of the American
people and the majority of the Congress recognize the soundness of
the concept of assisting the military forces of nations determined to
resist aggression and of providing economic aid to countries when their
present status or future development are of importance to the United
States.
Although one result of increasing emphasis on review and evaluation
of the program has been the disclosure of a number of instances of
waste in particular projects or operations, there was also developed
encouraging evidence that, in spite of its operating deficiencies in a
number of areas, the mutual security program is attaining its basic
objectives.
Certain of the newer nations which in an effort to follow a neutralist
policy had previously refused or played down United States assistance
as being inconsistent with the policy of placating the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics have now come to value our friendship and counsel
as highly as our material assistance. They now have a better under-
standing of American policy. They recognize the United States has
no objective except to assist them in maintaining their own independ-
ence and improving their living conditions. There have been several
incidents which have shown that the attitude of the people of several of
the nations of Asia toward the Soviet Union and Communist China
has changed. The vociferous and occasionally spectacular claims of
Communist propaganda have been too often more than offset by the
flagrant aggressiveness and disregard of human welfare that have
characterized Communist performance.

MUTUAL SECURITY ACT OF 1060
The obstacles confronting United States foreign policy have not
been removed nor have final solutions been found for our problems.
Nevertheless, there are indications that the governments and people
of many of the less developed nations have come to recognize that the
respect which we have demonstrated for their sovereignty and the
priority we have given to the fundamental and the long range justify
their trust.
There are those, however, who, while accepting the validity of the
concept of foreign aid, have misgivings as to the ability of the United
States to administer effectively a program of the magnitude and com-
plexity of current mutual security operations. The committee has
liven a high priority to following up reports of waste and inefficiency
in carrying out the program and has initiated legislation to correct
some of the major deficiencies.
The Committee on Foreign Affairs has expanded its firsthand ob-
servation of mutual security abroad. In addition to organized study
missions which have been reported in detail to the Congress (H. Rept.
1226: "Part I-Report of the Special Study Mission to Europe";
"Part II-A Study of European Economic Regionalism-A New
Era in Free World Economic Politics," and H. Rept. 1386: "Report
of the Special Study Mission to Asia, Western Pacific, Middle East,
Southern Europe and North Africa"), the Subcommittee for Review
of the Mutual Security Programs has continued its work. It sent a
staff survey team, consisting of three technicians (one borrowed from
the General Accounting Office with extensive experience in evaluating
military supply operations) to three Asian countries. The survey
team spent periods of 2 to 3 weeks in each country and was able to
observe the day-to-day operations in the field as well as at head-
quarters.
These field observations, as well as the analysis of the program
during the hearings, have led to the cuts in the authorizations for
various parts of the program summarized above. There is evidence
that the administrators of the mutual security program have in the
past overestimated the capacity of the less developed countries to
absorb and digest our assistance and that projects have been initiated
for which the United States was not ready to provide adequate guid-
ance and supervision.
Nevertheless, the committee is convinced. that the national security
and our future peace and well-being depend on improving the means by
which a large and complex program can be made to function rather
than to curtail drastically the magnitude or scope of the program.
No technique has been devised by which only the funds likely to be
wasted could be cut from the program in advance.
There is impressive evidence that the responsible officials have been
and are willing to revise procedures when basic defects have been
pointed out to them, as well as to correct, specific shortcomings ob-
served by the committee. As pointed out below, certain major pro-
cedural changes are only beginning to take effect. The administra-
tion of the mutual security program is improving, and there is every
indication that improvement will continue.

MUTUAL SECURITY ACT OF' 19 6 0
Close, continuous, critical, and independent supervision and review
are of vital importance, however. A large proportion of mutual
security assistance, both military and economic, goes to the less de-
veloped countries, the governments of which lack experience and
administrative skills, where modern machinery and modern accounting
procedures are strange, where traditions and sometimes ethical stand-
ards are different from ours. A limited number of Americans in each
country, living. under unfavorable conditions, are confronted daily
with new and complex problems. Counsel and direction is provided
almost entirely by messages from officials in Washington who fre-
quently may not have all the facts available in the field and often are
concerned with a multitude of problems.
The Congress must reconcile itself to the fact that occasional mis-
takes will continue to be made and some money will be misspent.
The committee intends, however, not only by pressing for continued
improvement in procedures and organization, but also by its own ob-
servation, analysis, and review of all phases of the operations of the pro-
gram, to emphasize the necessity for improvement in administration.
Effectiveness of section 517 being demonstrated
In the Mutual Security Act of 1958, the committee provided that
in the future funds could not be obligated (and consequently carried
forward into succeeding fiscal years) until financial and engineering
plans, as well as cost estimates for the projects to be financed, had
been completed and necessary legislation on the part of the recipient
country could be anticipated within a year. The implementation of
section 517 was followed up in March and April 1959 by a survey con-
ducted in the Far East for the Committee on Foreign Affairs by Gen-
eral Accounting Office personnel to determine the effectiveness of
compliance.
The result has been a substantial improvement in International
Cooperation Administration practice and procedures. An example is
the announcement last July that the United States would finance in
Burma a major highway and dormitory-classroom facilities for the
University of Rangoon. The United States indicated that it was
prepared to make available $30 million over a 4-year period to finance
these projects. It is significant, however, that only $1 million was
obligated at that time to finance engineering and feasibility studies of
these projects. No further funds have yet been obligated. Before
the enactment of section 517, it was normal ICA practice to have
obligated the entire $30 million at the time the project was agreed
upon by the Government of Burma.
Even though the committee has found' a few cases where funds obli-
gated before fiscal 1959 are still carried on the books for projects which
appear to be. bogged down,. the present ICA regulations require that
the plans and. estimates necessary to meet the conditions established
by section 517 must be completed before funds are obligated, and it
appears that current procedures are adequate to meet the problem.
Administrative improvements
Although the basic objectives and general structure of the mutual
security program have not changed in recent years, a detailed review
of mutual security operations shows that there have been a series of
adjustments and improvements which corrected a number of the ad-
ministrative deficiencies and have enhanced the effectiveness of the

program. Many of these innovations are the direct result of studies
and recommendations of the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
The tabulation summarizes a number of such improvements:

II, Public Law 480, incorporated
in Mutual Security Act of 1960.
The underlying assumptions on which the Mutual Security Act are
based as well as the policies to which the Act is directed should be
reexamined. It is the expectation of the committee that the new
administration will address itself to these matters before it submits the
mutual security bill next year.
Inspector General and Comptroller
Last year the committee initiated legislation establishing an In-
spector General and Comptroller with sufficient staff, funds, and
independence to carry on a continuous scrutiny and evaluation of
mutual security operations. The committee is disappointed in the
time which has been required for the Inspector General and Comp-
troller to get into operation and regrets that in building up an organiza-
tion, the Inspector General and Comptroller has drawn to so large an
extent on personnel already employed in the executive branch of the
Government, too many of whom have been connected with the
mutual security program.
The bill includes an amendment to eliminate from the duties
assigned to the Inspector General and Comptroller by law "designing
the form and prescribing the financial and statistical content of the
annual program presentation to the Congress." This should give the
Inspector General and Comptroller more time to seek out deficiencies
in mutual security operations and should also make it unnecessary for
him under any circumstances to defend the program or explain away
its shortcomings. The job of the Inspector General and Comptroller
is to discover waste and inefficiency in the mutual security program
and to see that corrective action is initiated. He should be en-
cumbered with no other responsibilities.
The work program discussed by the Inspector General and Comp-
troller with the committee, his concept of his responsibilities, and his
acquaintance with and understanding of deficiencies in mutual security
operations have given the committee confidence that this device for
tightening up the administration and control of the program is soundly
conceived and can be effective. Unless the Inspector General and
Comptroller clearly demonstrates the effectiveness of his operation
during the months to come, the Committee intends to take further
action to assure that deficiencies in the operation of the program
are detected and remedied.
It is essential that whatever impediments have been hampering the
Inspector General and Comptroller in getting into full-scale operation
be removed. This new office is in the State Department and is subject

to direct control by the Under Secretary. The committee urges that
the Under Secretary take a personal interest in overcoming whatever
bureaucratic resistance may have developed on the part of officials or
agencies desiring to avoid scrutiny.
Under existing law (sec. 533A) the expenses of the Inspector
General and Comptroller are charged to the programs under his
jurisdiction and have not been subject to any limitation other than
the judgment of the Inspector General and Comptroller.
The committee is convinced that a continuation of this procedure
is essential to the success of the operation. Unless the Inspector
General and Comptroller is skilled in budgetary procedures and
dedicated to austerity and economy to carry on his work with a mini-
mum of expenditure, he cannot be expected to discharge the responsi-
bility entrusted to him. If he cannot be trusted to control his own
operations, he should not be given responsibility for the entire
program.
On the other hand, if his operations are subjected to the budgetary
process which applies to other executive agencies, it must be recognized
that there will be a continuous and, in all probability, irresistible
pressure from all directions to curtail and impede his activities. It
would be poor economy if waste and inefficiency in a program involv-
ing expenditures of between $3 billion and $4 billion per year should
continue undetected because of a shortage of travel funds for investi-
gators or because it was impossible to pay the cost of a needed tech-
nician.
The committee notes with disapproval the establishment within the
Department of Defense of an independent evaluation staff (hearings,
p. 108). The Draper Committee recommended the establishment of
such a staff, but the Inspector General and Comptroller should be
able to do the job. If he is not organized or staffed to perform. this
function effectively, his program and personnel should be reorganized
to the extent necessary.
It is recognized that the Department of Defense must carry on a
continuous evaluation of its military assistance operations just as
the Army, Navy, and Air Force must evaluate their own operations
in carrying out the responsibilities assigned to them under the military
assistance program. Each of the services and the Defense Depart-
ment are organized so as to bring to the attention of senior officers
and civilian officials the information necessary for them to make such
evaluations.
There is clearly a place for a separate and independent staff to
concentrate on the evaluation function as it relates to the military
assistance program in all its aspects. There is no need, however, for
two such staffs and the establishment of competing organizations
would not only involve a duplication of effort but detract from the
objectivity and reliability of either effort.
Responsibility of the Ambassador
The Congress has given; increased attention to insuring that the.
Ambassador will. play the, paramount role in determining the content,.
coordination, and direction, of our aid pr:,ograms. Last year the Con
gress.rewrote' section 523;(b) of the, Mutual' Security Act to assure that
the Ambassador would coordinate recommendations on military assist-
ance, with political and economic considerations and, if he so desired,
add his own comments to such recommendations. Reports by con-
gressionAl committees have reasserted the primacy of our Ambassador..

Apprpyed For Relea ~(R~/JW1URITCYIA-RDP911009 65R000300200003-3
The report of the Special Study Mission to Europe made the observa-
tion that "the Ambassador be recognized at all times by personnel of
all agencies within the country to which he is accredited as the chief
representative of our Government and that all representatives keep
him fully informed of their activities and that he attach his own com-
ments to their recommendations." The statutes are clear on the role
of the Ambassador in the mutual security program. These are but-
tressed by independent observations of Members of Congress who
have visited countries in which we have assistance programs.
The Ambassador should not be content with general coordination
and supervision of the program. He should, and must, recognize his
responsibilities for its efficient administration. He must take what-
ever steps are necessary to assure that he will know how the program
is being operated. He should not hesitate to move into situations
where the performance of the operating agencies is deficient.
UNITED STATES BALANCE OF PAYMENTS AND THE OUTFLOW OF GOLD
The committee has given careful consideration to the alleged
relationship between United States expenditures for assistance to
foreign nations and the unfavorable United States balance of pay-
ments in 1958 and 1959, together with the net outflow of gold which has
occurred in recent years, and has arrived at the following conclusions:
The unfavorable United States balance of payments and the recent
outflow of gold have not been caused by the mutual security program
and the mutual security program has only a minor direct influence on
our balance of payments.
The termination or drastic curtailment of United States foreign
assistance would not reestablish a favorable balance of payments or
stop the export of gold.
The amount of United States expenditure for military and economic
assistance should be determined by the job to be done in order to
defend our security and to establish satisfactory relationships with the
governments and peoples of other nations. Such expenditures should
not be measured against or related to payment deficits or gold outflow.
In arriving at these conclusions, the committee made note of the
following:
The mutual security program has a relatively small direct influence
on the United States balance of payments, During fiscal 1959 total
United States mutual security expenditures were $3,898 million. Of
this total, three-fourths was spent in the United States and con-
sequently did not affect the balance of payments. While the remain-
ing one-fourth, approximately $1 billion, was-spent in foreign countries,
the bulk of this money was respent for purchases in the United
States. This represents but a small fraction of our total public and
private expenditures abroad which amounted to $29.5 billion in 1959.
Against the minor direct influence of foreign assistance expendi-
tures on the balance of payments should be offset the effect which
United States aid has had on the development of markets for United
States commodities and in opening up opportunities for United States
investment. Conversely, if United States aid were cut off or drasti-
cally reduced, the damage to world commerce and confidence would
be incalculable.
During recent years when the unfavorable balance of payments
was developing and the outflow of gold was increasing, our foreign
aid expenditures have been going down, as indicated by the chart on
"Trend of Expenditures" on page 13.

Current indications are that there has been a turn for the better,
Our export surplus for January 1960 was $354 million compared to
$94 million in January last year and for February was $217 million in
comparison to $65.1 million in February 1959. Furthermore, the
outflow of gold in 1959 was down to $700 million compared to $2.3
billion in 1958.
The United States does not and never has financed foreign assist-
ance with gold. The situation was well illustrated by the following
testimony before the committee (hearings, p. 177) :
I want to amplify this issue by an example: Suppose a poor
relation goes to the country store and. he wants to borrow
$10 from the owner of the store, and not only does he want
to borrow $10, but he wants it in goldbacks and not green-
backs. The storekeeper looks in the till and sees that he
doesn't have the money, but he has a lot of goods on the
shelves to tide his family over, canned goods and such. He
says, "I don't have $10 to lend you, but you are welcome to
my supply of goods." We have a lot of these goods on the
shelf to give. We can put some of our own factories into
double shift and supply goods that the Communists would
never be able to meet, certainly not in the next decade or
two.
Of the numerous analyses of the gold balance of payments situa-
tion which have come to the attention of the committee and which
have purported to represent skilled research or qualified professional
judgment, the only ones attributing the unfavorable situation to the
mutual security program were from organizations or individuals who
had previously identified themselves as opponents of the program.
The committee has continued to give attention to the size of the
unexpended balances of the mutual security program. These
unexpended balances, popularly called the pipeline, are funds that
have been obligated for goods and services that are on order but have
not yet been delivered. Payment must be made for them when
delivered. Following are the annual unexpended balances for the
entire mutual security program-military and nonmilitary-at the
close of each fiscal year since 1950.

These unexpended balances are available only to meet obligations
already incurred. They are not available to move the program forward
through the purchase of additional goods and services. These can
only be procured by making available new or unobligated money.
Some critics lump together the content of other programs such as the
Export-Import Bank and the sales of surplus agricultural commodities
to make a case that large availabilities exist. Each of these other
programs has, of course, a foreign policy objective. But the objectives
of these programs are not identical with those of the mutual.. security

The second way is by nonproject support in which the United
States finances imports of agricultural or industrial commodities or
makes direct cash payments. United States funds are paid to the
suppliers of materials or services delivered to the recipient country.
The ultimate objective is military; i.e., to make possible a military
contribution. The means, however, is assistance to the civilian econ-
omy to enable it to support the military contribution at an agreed
level. Requirements for eligibility are established by law and are
met through obligations made by formal agreement.
With the exception of technical cooperation programs and. such
functionally planned projects as malaria eradication, defense support
covers all programed economic assistance to countries where the
United States provides military assistance to significant forces. Total
United States obligations for defense support have slowly, but visibly,
declined from $1,196 million in fiscal 1957 to $766 million in fiscal 1960
to reflect generally improving conditions in the underdeveloped coun-
tries concerned.
As in the preceding 2 years, 12 countries are involved, and are the
same. They are:
Cambodia
China (Taiwan)
Greece
Iran
Korea Spain
Laos Thailand
Pakistan Turkey
Philippines Vietnam
All are underdeveloped. Eleven are on the periphery of the Sino-
Soviet bloc; the 12th is within easy range of hostile planes and missiles.
All contribute in varying degree to free world security in some or all
of the following crucial ways : (a) Local forces capable of resisting
external aggression; (b) maintenance of internal security; (c) military
base rights; (d) collective security, and (e) political and moral support.
Fifty-seven percent of the total is for three Far Eastern countries-
Korea, Taiwan, and Vietnam. All have three characteristics in
common: (a) They are divided; (b) superior Communist forces are on
their borders; (c) they maintain armed forces far in excess of those
which they could support with their own. resources. Combined they
maintain nearly a million and a half men under arms, which is equiva-
lent to 60 percent of the Armed Forces of the United States or Com-
munist China.
The United States has significant bases in Spain, Turkey, Greece,
Korea, Taiwan, and the Philippines. Six of the twelve (Greece,
Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, Thailand, and the Philippines) are members
of one or more of the major collective security organizations (NATO,
SEATO, CENTO). Three others-Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam-
are being safeguarded by SEATO. Bilateral United States security
treaties exist with Korea, Taiwan, and the Philippines.
Programed requirements are reduced in 8 of the 12 countries as
compared with this year. This trend is expected to continue. Mod-
est increases were proposed for Pakistan, Laos, and Taiwan because
of special situations in those countries.
After detailed examination of the requirements for defense support
in fiscal 1961, the committee concluded that $675 million would
adequately meet the authorization for funding requirements of the
Executive.

MUTUAL SECURITY ACT OF 1960 25
Section 201 (b), amending section 141:: Conditions of eligibility for
assistance
Section 141 now requires a prior finding by the President that
furnishing such assistance under this chapter (defense support) or
chapter I (military assistance) will strengthen the security of the
United States and promote world peace and that a receiving nation
shall have agreed to certain provisions as specified in section 142 (a)
of the Mutual Security Act of 1954 and such additional provisions
as the President deems necessary as conditions precedent to the
furnishing of such assistance.
The amendment proposes that the reference to "such assistance"
be changed to read "defense support or military equipment and
materials" for the purpose of freeing military assistance training and
information under chapter I from the conditions of this section as
was done in the act of 1959 with respect to Latin American countries
in connection with section 105 (b) (4) conditions.
This amendment is desirable in that it is frequently in the interest
of the United States to provide military training and information
to a country which, for political or other reasons, may not be in a
position to undertake the commitments required by section 142(a).
No defense support or military assistance, other than training or
information, would be needed.
Section 201(c), amending section 14.2(a): Agreements
The amendment is technical, consistent with the prior amend-
ment with respect to the requirement in the introductory clause for
agreements between the United States and recipient nations to speci-
fied provisions as a condition precedent for the furnishing of such
assistance, thereby similarly removing military training and informa-
tion from the requirement.
DEVELOPMENT LOAN FUND
Section 202(a), amending section 202: General powers of the Develop-
ment Loan Fund
This amendment restricts the authority of the Development Loan
Fund to allocate or commit funds unless an application or applica-
tions have been received from the borrowing country (1) supported
by sufficient engineering, financial, or other data to indicate reasonably
the use to be made of the funds and to permit a judgment as to the
economic and technical soundness as well as the practicability of the
project or program, and (2) equal to or in excess of the amount to be
allocated or committed. At the same time, the amendment makes
clear that allocations and commitments may be made in advance of the
receipt of such data when the President determines it to be in the
national interest to use Development Loan funds pursuant to multi-
lateral plans. In all cases, however, actual obligation of funds will
depend on the further step of working out substantive engineering
plans and cost estimates.
The committee was impressed by testimony from Hon. Porter
Hardy, chairman of the Subcommittee on Foreign Operations and
Monetary Affairs of the Government Operations Committee, and
other members of the subcommittee, setting forth the extent to which
Development Loan funds had been set aside on the basis of general
commitments to a borrowing country in advance of the submission
of specific proposals. It is recognized, particularly in the case of pro-

grams or projects involving the participation of two or more countries
or joint planning with an international organization, that it is essential
for the United ?tates -to be able to commit itself to make available a
specified sum prior to receiving applications meeting the requirements
mentioned.
Section 202(b), amending section 205(a): Management, powers, and
authorities of the Development Loan Fund
This subsection amends section 205 (a) of the act which relates to the
management, powers, and authorities of the Development Loan Fund,
by substituting a reference to the Secretary of State for a reference
to the Under Secretary of State for Economic Affairs as a member
and the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Development
Loan Fund. This is a perfecting amendment made in accordance
with the provision of Public Law 86-117 which provides that any
provision of law vesting authority in the Under Secretary of State
for Economic Affairs is amended to vest such authority in the Secre-
tary of State. The Secretary has designated the Under Secretary
of State toserve as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Develop-
ment Loan Fund.
Section 203(a), amending section 304: Bilateral technical cooperation
Section 203(a) amends section 304 of the act which relates to
bilateral technical cooperation by deleting an obsolete authorization
for an appropriation and substituting an. authorization for an appro-
priation of $172 million for fiscal year 1961.
Bilateral technical cooperation programs are planned for approxi-
mately 60 countries and territories. These programs are not com-
modity or capital investment programs. Their primary objective
is to aid the peoples of the underdeveloped countries toestablish the
institutions, to increase their skills, and to stimulate the more efficient
use of their resources as a means of advancing their economic and
social development. The major fields of activity are agriculture,
education, public administration, and health.
The emphasis is on people-United States technicians working in the
underdeveloped countries, the training of local participants in the
United States and other free world countries, and contract services
with American universities, firms, and individuals providing special-
ized services. For next year 81 percent of the funds is proposed to
be used to pay for these activities. The balance will be used for,
demonstration supplies and equipment, to contribute to joint funds
supporting cooperative services such as the "servicios" in Latin
America, to cover the costs of employment of local personnel and of
local facilities, and to finance supporting services in Washington.
The program proposed for Europe amounts to $4 million, an increase
of $1.3 million over the current year. Only two countries in Europe
receive funds under this program-Spain and Yugoslavia. The
planned increase is entirely for Yugoslavia, attributable to the in-
creased significance which that country attaches to the program and
its increased capacity to utilize technical assistance.
For Africa the 1961 program is estimated at $24.3 million, which is
$3.35 million above the program for 1960. This increase is primarily
for new or relatively new programs in the nations that have recently

achieved independence or are in the process of achieving it, such as
Morocco, Nigeria, Somalia, Tunisia, and the countries in West
Africa. Technical cooperation programs are one of the principal
means by which the United States can help the new African countries
move in a democratic and economically rational direction and encour-
ago their identification with the free world. An additional sum of
$20.0. million, provided under "Special Assistance," is planned for
Tropical Africa primarily to strengthen African institutions that can
better serve as effective centers of planning and leadership in educa-
tion. Thus, this special program will complement the bilateral
technical cooperation programs.
For the Near East and South Asia the 1961 program is planned at
$44.7 million, or $1.8 million above the program for 1960. This will
permit a strengthening of the programs in India, Afghanistan, and
several other countries. Slight decreases are planned for four
countries.
The program for the Far East is $36.0 million, which is $2.0 million
above the program for 1960. This additional amount is to provide
for increases in several countries, principally Korea and Indonesia.
A substantial further decrease is proposed for Japan to provide for the
orderly termination of the program in that country by the end of the
next fiscal year.
The 1961 request for the Latin American region of $39.5 million is
$2.0 million above the comparable program for 1960. This will finance
increases in programs in Argentina and the newly formed West Indies
Federation as well as the revitalized education program in Brazil.
Small increases are provided for the programs in Colombia, Ecuador,
and Haiti, while slight decreases are planned for Bolivia and Chile.
The interregional pprogram for 1961 is estimated to require $23.5
million, approximately $1.71 million more than for 1960. These
funds are for supporting expenses for the program in all the regions,
but cannot be assigned to any one country or region. They include
participant support, technical consultation and support, training and
development of oversew technicians, and program support services by
the Department of State.
It is a decade since technical cooperation, originally called Point 4,
was inaugurated. The administration of the program has gone
through a number of phases, not the least of which has been its merger
in organizations, FOA now ICA, that administer a variety of pro-
grams., In administering large economic aid programs there is always
the danger that the more modest technical cooperation programs
will not receive sufficient emphasis. Six years ago the committee
made this observation:
Under the present administrative arrangements there is no
one individual responsible solely for guiding and focusing
attention upon technical cooperation. It is now part of an
agency that has other responsibilities involving. more costly
operations. Technical cooperation tends to be a stepchild.
Of all the parts of the program encompassed in this (author-
ization) bill, this is the one that has the longest range possi-

mittee believes that which is needed is a single individual to
concern himself with the total program and who will give it
the stature and emphasis it merits as part of our foreign policy
(H. Rept. 1925, 83d Cong., 2d sess.).
There is much that is still valid in those earlier observations. The
committee was pleased to hear from the present Director of ICA,
Hon. James W. Riddleberger, that-
we are initiating a serious study of this program looking to-
ward recommendations as to how it can be made an increas-
ingly effective instrument in the decade ahead. We are
establishing a technical assistance study group for this pur-
pose. * * * We need to know better the types of activities
which give greatest promise of success. We must be ready
to accept new ideas and to experiment with new devices if
we are to achieve maximum results. For example, we need
to know more about the potentialities and value of what is
often referred to as community development. * * * (hear-
ings, p. 209).
The committee expects to be kept informed of the activities and
reports of the study group.
POINT FOUR YOUTH CORPS
The committee is convinced that there is a significant number of
young Americans trained in agriculture, home economics, and other
practical fields of activity who recognize the importance of world
problems, particularly those of the less developed countries. Among
them are many who are motivated more by a desire to serve than to
advance their careers. The report of the Special Study Mission to
Asia, Western Pacific, Middle East; Southern Europe, and North
Africa in its observation on Vietnam included the following:
With all the confusion in regards to our foreign aid projects
in Vietnam, the study mission is happy to report that there is
in that country one of the finest agricultural projects found
anywhere on their trip. Up in the hill country they visited
an experiment station where several young American boys,
graduates of agricultural colleges, were living in quonset huts
alongside the Vietnamese. This Station had planted in plots
practically every agricultural crop, including cotton, corn,
peanuts, potatoes, all kinds of vegetables, and raefel. Efforts
were being made to show the hill people, who had been given 5
acres of land and a water buffalo, how to plant and cultivate
in rows. This project is helping people to help themselves.
The entire project has not cost as much money as 1 mile of the
superhighway. It is such projects to which the study mission
gives its heartiest approval.
The American youth referred to above are selected, trained and
assigned by International Voluntary Services, Inc., under contract
with the International Cooperation Administration. They receive
$60 a month, plus food, clothing and simple quarters at the site of
their work. The committee was informed that at least 10 highly
qualified young graduates of agricultural colleges have volunteered
for each position made available by the International Cooperation Ad-
ministration.

ments in economic development if more places for such young people
were found in oversee operations. Various other proposals have also
been:'made for carrying out this concept. The Executive has not
undertaken vigorous action in this direction and has, on occasion,
appeared to regard the sending of such young people abroad as creat-
ing administrative problems rather than as an opportunity for
strengthening the program.
The committee believes that the United States is failing to utilize
one of its important assets by not developing a program for using
such services. If young Americans with farm backgrounds and
adequate technical training, who are willing to live in the villages and
share in the daily work of the people and who would serve with only a
minimum salary and subsistence allowance, could be carefully selected
and sent to the less developed countries, they could be unusually
effective representatives of the United States.
The committee announces its intention to make a comprehensive
survey of the possibilities for such an effort. Should this study
support the committee's present belief that there is substantial merit
in the proposal, the committee will prepare specific recommendations
for getting the program underway, and will expect the Executive
to make a serious and constructive effort to put the program into effec-
tive operation.
Section 203(b), amending section 806: Multilateral technical cooperation
Section 203 (b) amends section 306 of the act which relates to multi-
lateral technical cooperation and related programs in two respects.
Paragraph (1) amends subsection (a) dealing with contributions to
the United Nations Expanded Program of Technical Assistance and
the Special Fund by deleting obsolete language for an authorization
of an appropriation and authorizing an appropriation of $33 million
for calendar year 1961. The proviso in existing law limits the total
contribution of the United States to the Expanded Program of
Technical Assistance and the Special Fund to a maximum of 40
percent of the total amount contributed by all governments to both
programs for 1961.
`1 he United Nations Expanded Program of Technical Assistance and
the more recently established Special Fund are designed to stimulate
international cooperation in the economic development of the less
developed countries. These multilateral approaches are in addition
to our bilateral programs. There are several advantages in the multi-
lateral approach. It makes available a greater pool of technically
qualified personnel than could be supplied by the United States. In
the current year assistance is being given to 104 countries and terri-
tories and includes the provision of about 1,600 experts and some
2,000 fellowships for training abroad. Among the newer countries
there is often a marked sensitivity to reliance upon any one foreign
country. They find it preferable to use the resources of an inter-
national body. An additional advantage for the United States lies
in the fact that other countries contribute 60 percent of the cost. It
is recognized that the United States is the principal contributor to
these multilateral programs, and they serve as a visible and impressive
sign of our leadership and of our integrity of purpose.
About 80 governments now make voluntary contributions to a cen-
tral fund. Funds are allocated to participating specialized agencies

such as the World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture
Organization to carry out projects requested by the less developed
countries. These agencies provide experts for work in the country
as well as training programs both at home and abroad. Primary
emphasis is given to activities in the fields of health, agriculture, and
education as well as in industrial development, public administration,
civil aviation, and other more specialized activities. The program
has been operating at a level of about $30 million annually.
The Special Fund, set up in 1957 largely upon the initiative of the
United States, began its operations in January 1959. It complements
the work of the expanded technical assistance program. Its purpose
is to support surveys, research, and training projects necessary for
successful economic growth. It is not an international capital de-
velopment fund but finances preinvestment projects. Surveys of
water, mineral, soil, and power resources and the setting up of techno-
logical training centers are typical projects which the fund makes
possible.
The financial goal of these two programs is $100 million, of which
the United States share cannot exceed $40 million. It is anticipated
that other nations will pledge something over $70 million for calendar
year 1961. If such is the case the United States share will be around
$33 million, the sum contained in the bill. Should other governments
exceed their anticipated contributions, any additional funds necessary
to meet the United States share would be secured from other mutual
security program funds.
Paragraph (2) authorizes an appropriation of $1.5 million to the
technical cooperation program of the Organization of American
States. This is a sum identical with that appropriated last year.
The United States contribution is 70 percent of the total contributions
for this program. It consists of the establishment and support of
regional training centers in the Americas, in some cases through
specialized organizations of the Organization of American States.
OAS technical assistance funds are used to support special technical
training staffs and to provide fellowships for trainees from member
countries of Latin America to attend the centers.
SPECIAL ASSISTANCE AND OTHER PROGRAMS
Section 204(a), amending section 400 (a): Special Assistance
This section amends section 400(a) of the act in two respects.
First, it authorizes an appropriation of $256 million for fiscal year 1961
for Special Assistance. This is $12.5 million less than the $268.5
million requested by the Executive, and $8.5 million more than the
authorization and $11 million more than the appropriation for fiscal
year 1960. Second, this section adds a sentence expressing the sense
of Congress about the use of Special Assistance funds among the
nations of the Near East. There is concern that stability in that
area is imperiled by the sale or grant of military equipment to nations
in that area. While the new language is not mandatory in its appli-
cation, it is the congressional intent that so long as it is United States
policy not to sell or grant military equipment to any one nation in the
Near East, no part of the funds appropriated under Special Assistance
should be used by any other nation in that area for the purchase of
military equipment.

Special Assistance is economic assistance. It is special because it
is for use on such terms and conditions as the President may specify
and because it is designed to maintain or promote political or economic
stability. As such it differs from military assistance and defense
support in that it is directed almost entirely to countries in which the
United States is not providing military assistance to significant forces.
It is assistance on a grant or loan basis to accomplish political or eco-
nomic objectives which cannot be accomplished by employment of
the Development Loan Fund or other United States loan programs.
Assistance is rendered on a country-by-country basis in accordance
with advance planning. It is also employed to finance certain re-
gional or global programs, primarily in health and education.
The program of $256 million for fiscal 1961 is directed to 22
countries and territories:
Afghanistan Morocco
Bolivia Nepal
Brazil Paraguay
Burma Somalia
Ethiopia Sudan
Guatemala Tunisia
Haiti United Arab Republic
Indonesia West Berlin
Israel West Indies
Jordan Yemen
Libya Yugoslavia
Sixty-nine percent is required to continue programs necessary to
the maintenance of political and economic stability in nine countries:
Afghanistan, Bolivia, Burma, Haiti, Israel, Jordan, Libya, Morocco,
and Tunisia, and to West Berlin.
Eighteen percent is scheduled for major functional programs most
effectively planned on a worldwide basis: malaria eradication, commu-
nity water supply development, international medical research, aid
to American schools abroad, investment incentive programs, and the
United Nations Emergency Force.
Seven percent is to be used for important low cost or short duration
special activities in 12 countries : Brazil, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Indo-
nesia, Nepal, Paraguay, Somalia, Sudan, United Arab Republic, the
West Indies Federation, Yemen, and Yugoslavia; also in cooperation
with two international organizations: the Organization for European
Economic Cooperation (OEEC) and the Central Treaty Organization
(CENTO-successor to the Baghdad Pact).
Six percent is planned to undertake a special program for tropical
Africa which will concentrate on the improvement of human resources
for economic development through increased and improved education
and vocational or other training with particular emphasis on needs
common to all countries of the area. In many ways this is a pilot
program which promises to grow significantly in the immediate future
as a supplement to major investment activity on the part of free world
countries. The evidences of increasing Soviet interest and activity
in this area point up its importance to the world and the urgency of
a sound American program in that area.
Where Special Assistance is rendered to a country, it is addressed
to a relatively small number of major economic programs or specific
project activities in critical countries. It is provided in order to
maintain the political independence or stability of countries threat-

ened by internal disorder often stemming from economic imbalance.
It is sometimes provided to secure or maintain United States military
facilities or other rights in a country or to deal with economic or
other problems arising out of the existence of such facilities. It is
used to maintain economic stability or support economic growth,
maintain political stability or further United States foreign policy
objectives by a United States identification with small beneficial
projects, or to help meet disaster or emergency needs.
United States foreign policy has been advanced in a variety of ways
by Special Assistance. In the absence of the Special Assistance pro-
gram, it is probable that today's maps would have to be substantially
redrawn. The following are among the more noteworthy accomplish-
ments to which this form of aid has contributed significantly:
Strategic bases, outside of our territory, have been retained.
Jordan's economic and, indeed, political survival has been made
possible.
Lebanon has been helped to meet the economic dislocations of the
internal crisis of 1958 and to restore reasonable stability.
Tunisia has, despite strong pressures from anti-Western sources,
retained its freedom of action.
Bolivia has been assisted in the crucial phases of an effort toward
economic stabilization, while avoiding a major upheaval and change of
political orientation.
Guatemala, a government which ousted a Communist-dominated
government, receives Special Assistance to strengthen the present
government's determination to maintain an orientation toward the
free world.
Yugoslavia, in the face of aggressive Soviet economic action in.
curtailment of credits, continues its efforts to maintain independence
of the Soviet bloc.
In West Berlin, continued United States economic assistance on a
modest scale has contributed to maintaining the Western position in
this free enclave in the Soviet area.
United States initiative and sharing in the costs of the malaria
eradication program, now in its third year of operation, have provided
the major impetus in the worldwide program to eliminate malaria.
Special Assistance has been a key factor in furthering United States
policy objectives in these and other important political and economic
arenas.
During the Bearings the committee showed particular interest in
the program planned for Tropical Africa. Although details have yet
to be worked out, the general approach of emphasizing the develop-
ment of the human resources of that continent represents a sound
approach. It is the expectation of the committee that the program
which the Executive has justified will be carried out for the purposes
and in the amount described to the committee.
Against great odds, Israel has continued to be a bulwark of stability
in an otherwise disturbed area. It has used effectively the modest
amount of Special Assistance extended under the mutual security
program. The determination of Israel to develop its industry and to
increase its agricultural output will necessitate aid at the same level
for the next year as in the current year. The committee is therefore
of the opinion that Special Assistance to Israel should be maintained
at the level of fiscal year 1960.

Force which is financed in part on a voluntary basis by the member
nations of the United Nations, in part by an assessment on the
nations at the regular scale of assessment. This authority supple-
ments additional authority permitting United States support of the
Force, including the making of assessed contributions and the detailing
of ppersonnel.
This is a force of 5,000 men from some 7 nations, none from the
"Great Powers," which is charged by the General Assembly with en-
forcing observance of the armistice agreement between Israel and
Egypt. Round-the-clock patrols are maintained to prevent or investi-
gate incidents in the region of the Gaza strip, along some 140 miles of
Egyptian-Israeli border and at the mouth of the Gulf of Aqaba.
In calendar year 1960 the General Assembly has authorized $20
million for this Force. Being a collective responsibility of the whole
organization, the 87 member states are charged-for the basic cost of
the force on a percentage scale of assessments by which the whole
U.N. budget of $60 million is supported. The United States assess-
ment is $6,497,064, or 33% percent. Because of the burden of the cost
of this Force, however, on so many smaller countries and the greater
interest of the United States and the United Kingdom in the arrange-
ment, the United States at the last General Assembly again offered
to make an additional voluntary contribution of $3.2 million, subject
to the appropriation of the funds by the Congress, which would reduce
by 50 percent the contribution of as many of the least developed
countries as it would cover. The British also agreed to make a vol-
untary contribution. This means that the total United States con-
tribution for calendar year 1960 will be $9,697,064, or 48 percent of
the $20 million total cost of the Force.
Section 204(c), amending section 402: Earmarking of,funds
This subsection extends for another year the provision of section 402
as to earmarking of funds. Section 402 does not provide for an appro-
priation. It requires that not less than $175 million otherwise appro-
priated under the act shall be used to finance the transfer or the sale
for foreign currencies of surplus agricultural commodities. The
foreign currency proceeds thus obtained are deposited in a special
United States account and used to further the objectives of the
mutual security program.
From 1946 through June 1959, agricultural exports of the United
States amounted to $49.1 billion. Of this amount, those exports
made under specified Government-financed programs amounted to
$20.8 billion, or 42 percent of the total. Of the $20.8 billion., $10.2
billion were exported under programs administered by ICA and its
predecessor agencies; $7.2 billion of the $10.2 billion were financed
from foreign aid appropriations.
In each of fiscal years 1958, 1959, and 1960, $175 million was also
earmarked to finance disposals of surplus agricultural commodities
under this section. In fiscal 1959, actual sales totaled $188 million,
7-percent higher than the legislative requirement, but a 10-percent
decrease from fiscal year .1958. The sales for fiscal year 1959 included
$81 million in cotton, $50 million in grain, $36 million in fats and oils,
and $21 million of other commodities and transportation costs. It is
estimated that fiscal year 1960 disposals will go no higher than the
$175 million, although the outlook is still uncertain and details of the

commodities disposed of are not yet known. The authorization for
fiscal. year 1961 continues the requirement for the transfer or the sale
of agricultural surpluses at the same level, although it is becoming
increasingly difficult to use surplus agricultural products to carry ou.t
the purposes of the Mutual Security Act. Military assistance, by the
nature of its import requirements and by reason of the decline in
offshore procurement, offers little opportunity for section 402 disposals
of agricultural products.
The economic assistance programs also offer a declining opportunity
for the use of surplus farm products. This is in part because the
majority of countries currently receiving economic assistance are pre-
dominantly agricultural. Those who do need assistance in meeting
agricultural' import requirements are generally able to meet such
requirements by making purchases tinder the provisions of Public Law
480.
It is estimated that of the $175 million of disposals required to be
made in fiscal 1'961, only $100 million can be made directly to bene-
ficiary countries; the remainder, $75 million, will have to be attained
by engaging in. triangular transactions. Under this procedure, sales
of United States grain, cotton, tobacco, and other surplus commodities
are made to industrialized countries, primarily in Western Europe, and
the foreign currencies derived from such sales are used to purchase in
the industrialized nations goods and services to be supplied to the
less developed countries under the mutual security program. Such
transactions are difficult to arrange and in many instances do not
result in any appreciable increase in United States exports of surplus
commodities. To some extent such transactions merely substitute for
approximately the same volume of products which probably would
be purchased by the Western European countries with their own
dollar exchange. Also, since most of these countries have recently
made their currencies fully convertible when externally held they
have little incentive to engage in triangular trade.
A requirement that disposals under this section should exceed $175
million would result either in preventing a certain amount of mutual
security funds from being used for their intended purpose or would
interfere with our normal dollar exports of agriculture products
through commercial channels.
Section 204(d), amending section 403: Responsibilities in Germany
This provision amends section 403 of the Mutual Security Act to
authorize the use in fiscal year 1961 of $6,750,000 of special assistance
funds for the United States to meet its responsibilities or objectives in
Germany, including West Berlin., This. is a small reduction from the
authorization of $7.5 million for fiscal. year 1960 and authorizes the
same amount as was actually programed in fiscal year 1960. The
actual program in fiscal year 1960 was $6,750,000-$750,000 below the
amount authorized.
The Federal Republic of Germany continues to assume almost the
entire economic support of West Berlin, including the care of refugees
from East Germany who are arriving at a rate of 100,000 per year.
The cost to the Federal Republic of Germany is at the rate of $364
million per year. In comparison, United States funds contributed
may appear to be a token amount. This has, however, very great
importance to the people of West Berlin as evidence of our continued
concern for their freedom and well-being.

United States funds provided to West Berlin are used in a variety
of ways to meet the needs of the people of West Berlin and to provide
them with continuing evidence of our backing, as well as to make
more off ective the example of West Berlin in providing encouragement
to the people of East Germany.
Section 204(e), adding a new section 404: Indus Basin development
Section 204(e) adds a new section 404 to the Mutual Security Act.
The new section covers four basic points. They are:
(1) The first sentence of section 404 contains a statement of policy
in which the Congress states its approval of the cooperative program
negotiated by the International Bank for Reconstruction and Devel-
opment (the World Bank) for the development of the Indus River
Basin and affirms the willingness of the United States to participate
in the program under authorities already contained in the Mutual
Security Act and "other Acts." As presently contemplated, the
Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954 (Public
Law 480) is the only other act under which funds would be made
available. It does not provide a new authorization of any funds.
All funds to be expended for the project will be made available under
other provisions of the Mutual Security Act and Public Law 480.
(2) Section 404 permits the substitution, for the requirements of
section 517 of the act, of the requirements, standards, and procedures
of the World Bank for determining the feasibility of the project, and
the adequacy of cost estimates, engineering plans, and studies.
(3) Section 404 permits the substitution, for the requirements of
section 103 of the Mutual Security Appropriation Act, 1960, of the
requirements, standards, and procedures of the World Bank for
determining the feasibility of flood control, irrigation, and water
resources projects.
(4) Section 404 provides the President with the authority to waive
the 50-50 shipping requirement of section 901(b) of the Merchant
Marine Act of 1936 whenever he determines that its provisions can-
not be fully satisfied without seriously impeding the United States
participation in the project.
From the viewpoint of United States foreign policy this is a most
important provision. The significance of the Indus River Basin
project lies in its possibilities for settling the longstanding dispute
between Pakistan and India that reached a dangerous stage when
the British withdrew and the Indian subcontinent was divided in
1947. Since that time both countries have maintained an armed
truce with occasional flareups that reveal the underlying bitterness.
This condition has impeded the development efforts of both countries
and has offered a potential opening for Communist exploitation. The
Indus Basin project could mark a turning point in the history of
South Asia. A refusal by Congress to approve this provision would
inevitably make necessary a new, and time-consuming, approach to
the whole problem of stability in the area.
The Indus River and its five tributaries drop from the Himalayas to
the parched lowlands of Pakistan and provide West Pakistan with its
source of irrigation. Under the British the Indus waters were devel-
oped into the greatest irrigation system in the world. The partition
of India and Pakistan in 1947 divided the system into two parts, with
India in control of the upstream waters. India has wanted to expand

MUTUAL SECURITY ACT OF 1980 37
its use of these waters through various irrigation projects. Pakistan
has feared that in the process downstream areas in its own territory
would be deprived of essential water.
The dispute over the use of the Indus waters has been one of the
major points of friction between the two countries. Late in 1951 the
World Bank offered the two parties its good offices to help find a
mutually agreeable solution. The offer was accepted and negotiations
began under Bank auspices in 1952. These negotiations resulted in
the proposal which both parties have agreed upon in principle.
The proposal provides that India shall have the use of the waters of
the three eastern rivers-the Ravi, Beas, and Sutlej-and that the
downstream irrigated areas in Pakistan formerly supplied with water
from these three rivers shall in the future be supplied with water
brought from the three western rivers-the Indus, Jhelum, and
Chenab-through a series of diversion and link canals. It is estimated
that, when completed, additional irrigated acreage will be 4.8 million
in Pakistan and 4.4 million in India. The Bank also estimates that
the power installations will not only be able to pay for themselves
but also 40 to 50 percent of the fixed and operating costs of dams.
Because of the heavy cost of the Pakistan portion of the plan, the
Bank has proposed that financial assistance for works in that country
be supplied by the Bank and by a group of friendly countries. This
assistance will be contributed to a proposed Indus Basin Development
Fund, to be administered by the Bank itself. In the case of India the
scale of works is such as to permit specific bilateral financing.
India and Pakistan will enter into an Indus Waters Treaty governing
settlement of the issue. Agreement on the terms of the treaty is
expected within the next few months. Its signature will probably
coincide with the receipt of assurances that the outside financial aid
required to carry out the project will be forthcoming, subject to
appropriate parliamentary or congressional action.
The total cost of the system is estimated at the equivalent of slightly
more than $1 billion, partly in foreign exchange and partly in local
currencies. Foreign exchange grants from Australia, Canada, Ger-
many, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States
will total $307 million, of which the United States share is $177 million.
Two foreign exchange loans will be made to Pakistan, $70 million by
the United States and $80 million by the World Bank. Two such
loans will be made to India, $33 million by the United States and $23
million by the World Bank. In addition the United States will lend
Pakistan the local currency equivalent of $200 million and grant to
Pakistan the equivalent of $35 million. In short, the planned United
States portion of the project will be $515 million, of which $212 million
will be in grants ($177 million in dollars and $35 million in local
currency) and $303 million will be in loans ($103 million in dollars and
$200 million in local currency). Should the project get underway in
the next fiscal year, the United States plans to make available $74.6
million in dollars of which $4.6 million will be in grants and $70
million in loans, and a grant of $11.5 million in'local currency, a total
of $86.1 million.
United States participation in the Indus project will be formalized
by the signature of a multilateral financial agreement. This will
expressly provide that the United States commitment to contribute
funds will be subject to appropriations made by Congress. The

agreement will provide for the creation of an Indus Basin Development
Fund to be administered by the World Bank. The Fund and its
assets and accounts are to be kept separate and apart from all other
assets and accounts of the Bank.
Under the agreement, it is the duty of the Administrator before the
beginning of each half year to notify each party of the assistance
required to be contributed to the Fund to cover estimated disburse-
ments of the Fund during each period. Funds are to be disbursed
by the Administrator to the Government of Pakistan upon written
la pplication by the latter to finance agreed items of equipment, sup-
plies, and services required on the project. Pakistan is required to
provide such documentation and other evidence in connection with
such applications as is required by the Administrator in accordance
with the Bank's usual procedures.
All equipment, supplies, and services required for the project are
.to be procured on the basis of international competition under arrange-
ments satisfactory to the Administrator, except as the Administrator
shall otherwise agree on grounds of efficiency or economy.
The Bank is enjoined to exercise the same care in the administration
and management of the Fund and in the discharge of its other functions
under the agreement as it exercises in respect to the administration
and management of its own affairs.
A matter of particular interest to the committee is the provision in
the amendment that permits the use of funds for the project in ac-
cordance with requirements, standards, or procedures established by
the Bank. These concern completion of plans and cost estimates and
determination of feasibility in lieu of the requirements, standards, or
,procedures prescribed by section 517 of the act and section 103 of the
Mutual Security Appropriation Act, 1960.
The principal differences are as follows :
(1) Engineering and Cost Standards.--The difference between the
standards of the World Bank and those of the Development Loan
Fund and ICA is essentially one of timing. Before any part of the
project is financed by the Bank, engineering plans, specifications,
and detailed cost estimates for that part of the project will be prepared
by the consulting engineers and approved by the Bank. The DLF
and ICA apply much the same standards. The difference is that
under DLF and ICA procedures they would themselves have to be
satisfied that basic engineering and feasibility surveys for all parts
of the project are completed prior to obligation of funds for the project
whereas in the case of the Indus project the DLF and ICA would
obligate, relying on the Bank's review and approval of engineering
plans at a later stage, but before funds are actually disbursed by the
Bank.
(2) Cost-Benefit Standards.--The World Bank has already prepared
an initial study of the works in Pakistan and India which indicates
that a favorable benefit-to-cost ratio will be yielded by the Indus
Basin development plan, strictly on economic and technical grounds
and without regard to the substantial political benefits envisioned.
The World Bank is currently conducting further economic studies
designed to refine this analysis that will more nearly approximate
the standards required by section 103 of the Mutual Security Appro-
priation Act, 1960.

MUTUAL SECURITY ACT OF 1960 39
(3) Procurement Standards.-The World Bank will make disburse-
ments for imported equipment, supplies, and construction services
on the basis of international competition. ICA would have applied
essentially the same standards. The DLF would have placed primary
emphasis on United States purchases. It should be noted that three
of the four firms already engaged in engineering surveys are American
firms.
The treaty between India and Pakistan cannot be concluded unless
the signatories are assured that the financial arrangements worked
out with considerable effort by the various contributing countries
will be put into effect and that the contributing countries will make
their contributions in the amounts and in the manner specified in
the agreement. Enactment of section 404 is required both to provide
an indication of congressional approval of the plan and to permit the
United States contribution to the Indus Basin Fund to be made in the
manner contemplated in the Financing Agreement, subject to the
necessary appropriations.
The plan for the settlement of this longstanding dispute over the
use of the Indus waters has been accomplished after many years of
difficult negotiations. Failure to secure final settlement, after the
prolonged negotiations conducted by the Bank, may well delay for
an indeterminate time the resolution of an issue that has imperiled
the relations between India and Pakistan. The plan drawn up by
the World Bank complements our own bilateral economic aid pro-
grams to the two countries. Its accomplishment will contribute
greatly to political stability and economic development in South Asia.
Section 204(f), amending section 105: Migrants, refugees, and escapees
Paragraph (1) amends subsection (c) to authorize an appropriation.
of $1,500,000 for fiscal year 1961 as the United States contribution to
the program of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees
(UNIICR).
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees was author-
ized by a United Nations General Assembly resolution of December 2,
1957, to conduct a program to succeed the United Nations Refugee
Fund (UNREF) which ended December 31, 1958. The UNHCR's
program is flexible, designed to avoid rigid long-term plans by enabling
governments to determine on an annual basis the specific refugee
problems to which they wish to contribute during the particular year
and which can be eliminated or reduced by international effort
during that year.
During 1959 and 1960 the new program was largely engaged in
completing certain unfinished undertakings of the old UNREF
program including primarily the camp clearance program. Since
1960 will virtually complete the camp clearance program, the 1961
program will concentrate upon selected categories of refugees for
whom material aid is considered to be an international responsibility.
These selected categories include particularly refugee families with
children living under substandard conditions and physically handi-
capped or aged refugees. Aid will also be continued for refugees of
European and Jewish origin from the Near East and to meet any
new refugee emergencies which may arise.
The $1.5 million requested for this program is an increase of
$400,000 over the amount appropriated for last year and reflects

increased program activity by UNHCR for refugees in Morocco and
Tunisia who fled Algeria.
Paragraph (2) amends subsection (d) to authorize an appropriation
of $3,500,000 for the United States Escapee Program (USEP) for fiscal
year 1961, a reduction of $1,700,000 from the amount authorized in
1960. This is made possible by a reduced caseload activity anticipated
for the calendar year 1961.
Through its specialized services, the escapee program provides
assistance to Soviet and satellite escapees in Europe and the Middle
East and Chinese refugees in Hong Kong from initial reception,
interim care, and maintenance to resettlement. Since its inception
in 1952 USEP has provided assistance to over 400,000 escapees.
There were approximately 25,000 recent escapees registered with
the USEP in Europe and the Near East on January 1, 1960. Es-
capees who require prompt attention are arriving in the West at the
rate of 650 per month. It is estimated that the 1961 escapee program
will register 7,700 new escapees and that an overall caseload reduction
of about 9,300 will be achieved.
The escapee program serves United States interests by encouraging
continuing liberal asylum and assistance policies on the part of govern-
ments of asylum countries and promoting stability in asylum areas
through the resettlement of politically vulnerable groups.
Section 204(g), amending section 406: Children's welfare
Section 406 authorizes an appropriation of $12 million for contribu-
tions to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). This is the
same amount authorized and appropriated for the current fiscal year.
Thus the amendment changes only the year, substituting 1961 for
1960.
It is estimated that the percentage of the United States contribution
to total government contributions will be 46 percent in 1961 compared
to 48 percent in 1960. In 1959, every $1 allocated by UNICEF
generated in the receiving countries an average of an additional $2.50
to carry out the programs.
The estimated UNICEF allocations for calendar year 1961 are
$30.1 million. Contributions of $12 million from the United States
and $14.1 million from other governments will leave a balance of $3
million, which it is hopefully anticipated can be raised from private
sources.
UNICEF is currently assisting 371 programs in 104 countries and
territories. Of the estimated 1 billion children in the world, some
three-quarters live in areas where poverty and disease are common and
where, lacking adequate food, clothing, shelter, and protection against
disease, infant and maternal mortality rates are high. UNICEF
extends tangible aid principally in the form of supplies not available
within the assisted countries.
In the principal campaigns which UNICEF aided in 1960, more than
15 million children and mothers were protected against malaria; 14
million young persons were vaccinated against tuberculosis; some
213 million children and mothers were treated for yaws, and more
than 7 million children and mothers received milk through school
and maternal and child welfare centers.

MUTUAL SECURITY ACT OF 1960 41
Section 204(h), amending section 407: Palestine refugees
Section 204(h) amends section 407 of the act, relating to Palestine
refugees in the Near East, in two respects. First, it deletes the obso-
lete reference to an authorization for an appropriation for the fiscal
year 1960 and provides for an authorization for.an appropriation of
$18,500,000 for fiscal year 1961. Second, it strikes out the proviso
in the first sentence which stipulates that 10 percent of the funds ap-
propriated pursuant to this section shall be available only for repatria-
tion and resettlement. This proviso was deleted last year by the
House, on the recommendation of the committee, in acting on the
Mutual Security Act of 1959. The Senate did not delete the pro-
viso. The committee of conference agreed to reduce from 15 to 10
percent the amount to be earmarked.
Through a combination of legislative and executive action, United
States contributions to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency
(UNRWA) are subject to certain limitations: (1) Such contributions
will not exceed 70 percent of the total contributions from all sources;
(2) pursuant to the proviso in section 407 (which will be removed by
this amendment) 10 percent of the funds appropriated for our contri-
bution to UNRWA shall be available only for repatriation or resettle-
ment of the refugees; and (3) in determining whether or not to continue
furnishing assistance for these refugees, the President shall take into
account whether Israel and the Arab host governments are taking steps
toward the resettlement and repatriation of the refugees. This latter
authority has been delegated to the Secretary of State who has deter-
mined that the United States will continue to furnish assistance for
Palestine refugees.
The refugee population has gradually increased during the past
several years as a result of generally improved sanitary conditions and
the availability of a steady ration of food. The most recent count
indicates about 1,042,000. The relief portions of UNRWA's activ-
ities are still the most important. Admittedly it is no solution. The
need for large-scale economic assistance programs capable of making
refugees self-sustaining remains most urgent. However, the failure
of members of the United Nations, other than the United States and
the United Kingdom, to contribute significantly to the programs and
the unwillingness of the countries directly concerned to agree on the
projects have frustrated UNRWA efforts to date. Although
UNRWA's budget for calendar year 1960 to meet program require-
ments is $38.7 million, it is estimated that contributions, including
the United States pledge of $23 million, will total only $33 million,
which falls considerably short of meeting minimum needs.
The 14th United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution
1456 which (a) extended UNRWA for 3 years with a review at the
end of 2 years, (b) called on the United Nations Palestine Concilia-
tion Commission (United States, Turkey, and France) to make
further efforts to secure implementation of repatriation and compen-
sation for Palestine refugees, (c) called on host governments to take
appropriate steps to rectify refugee relief rolls, (d) urged member
governments to seek to increase their contributions to UNRWA to
enable it to carry out its program, and (e) called on UNRWA to
continue its relief programs and its programs of self-support and
vocational training.

4G MUTUAL SECURITY ACT OF 1960
For fiscal year 1960 Congress appropriated new funds totaling $25
million. The 1961 authorization provides new money totaling only
$18,500,000. With the deletion of the proviso earmarking funds for
repatriation or resettlement, these previously pledged but unused
funds which now total $6,250,000, plus an. additional $250,000 of previ-
ously unpledged funds, will be used to meet the estimated United
States requirement of $25 million. An additional sum, approximating
that amount now set aside, will be required to execute fully the 1961
program if the proviso should not be deleted.
The contribution authorized by this section is based on past annual
requirements of the Agency, taking into account the increased cost
of food, supplies and equipment, and an increasing refugee population.
Section 204(i), amending section 409(c): Ocean freight
Subsection (c) authorizes the payment of ocean freight charges on
supplies donated to American voluntary agencies. During fiscal year
1960 supplies valued at nearly $41 million will be shipped and dis-
tributed at a cost to the Government of $2.3 million. Each dollar
appropriated for this purpose is multiplied nearly 20 times in terms of
the value of relief goods it delivers. These goods include, specifically,
food, clothing, medical and hospital supplies, handtools for trades
and agriculture, and other self-help supplies. Most of these goods are
donated in kind without any cash contribution to cover the necessary
delivery costs to the country of destination.
The American agencies for their part bear the cost of solicitation,
processing, warehousing, packaging for export, transportation to
United States ports, and the cost of field representatives in foreign
countries to supervise distribution. These same agencies are also
moving substantial quantities of United States Department of Agri-
culture surplus commodities into their relief channels abroad. The
payment of ocean freight charges on these surplus commodities is now
funded under authority of title II, Public Law 480, and mutual secu-
rity funds are not programed for this purpose.
The committee recommends an authorization of $2 million for the
coming year. This represents a decrease of $300,000 from last year's
authorization, but it is based on actual program estimates by the
participating voluntary agencies. This decrease reflects a slight
change in the nature of the items to be shipped. Although the total
value of shipments will increase to $47 million in fiscal year 1961,
their overall weight will decrease. The program has been operating
in about 40 countries.
No procurement costs to the United States Government are in-
volved.
Section 204(j), amending section 411: Administrative and other expenses
Section 204 (j) amends section 411 of the act which relates to admin-
istrative and other expenses in two respects. Paragraph (1) amends
subsection (b) by deleting the obsolete authorization for an appropri-
ation of $39,500,000 for fiscal year 1960 and substituting an author-
ization for an appropriation of $40 million for fiscal year 1961. This
authorization excludes the administrative expenses for military assist-
ance, the Development Loan Fund, and those provided for the De-
partment of State in section 411 (c) of the act. Paragraph (2) amends
subsection (c), which relates to administrative and other expenses of
the Department of State, by authorizing an appropriation to the Presi-
dent for such expenses instead of to the Department of State, in con-
formity with the othe &8 ?g %tio8j. *V%bv _tb 300200003-3

MUTUAL SECURITY A T F 196
For the current fiscal year an appropriation of $38 million was made
for ICA administrative expenses. To this was added $429,000 which
was continued available from. the previous fiscal year for a total avail-
ability of $38,429,000 for fiscal year 1960 on a comparable basis.
Including an anticipated carryover of $300;000 the comparable amount
available for fiscal year 1961 will be $40,300,000, an increase of
$1,871,000.
The increase is attributable principally to the creation of new mis-
sions and to the strengthening of existing staffs overseas. The largest
single increment is planned for Africa which reflects the greater atten-
tion being given to that area. Increases are also planned for the Near
East and South Asia, the Far East, and, to a lesser degree, Latin
America. In line with the reduction of nonmilitary aid to Europe
a further contraction of personnel is anticipated for that area. The
balance of the increase will be used to provide a slight increase in
permanent positions in Washington, for administrative support costs
furnished by the Department of State and the administrative costs of
participating agencies, to finance periodic pay increases of American
employees and wage-scale increases, for foreign nationals, and to
finance the new Federal health insurance program. Against these
increases will be a decrease of $500,000 in Washington rent costs.
Section 204(k), repealing section 412: President's special education and
training fund
Section 412 of? the act authorizes the use, for each of the fiscal years
1960 through 1964, of $10 million of the funds appropriated pursuant
to the Mutual Security Act for (1) financin~ studies, research, in-
struction, and other educational activities of citizens of underdeveloped
countries in educational institutions in the United States, Puerto
Rico, and the Virgin Islands; and (2) for the training of people of
underdeveloped countries in skills which will contribute to economic
development. This section, inserted in the Mutual Security Act in
1959, was not in the bill as it passed the House but was accepted in
conference. The Mutual Security Appropriation Act, 1960 (Public
Law 86-383), section 108, prohibits the use of any funds in that act
to carry out the provisions of section 412.
The executive branch, has recommended repeal of section 412 for
the reasons (1) that the portion relating to technical cooperation
simply duplicates the general authorization for technical cooperation
and thus is unnecessary and (2) that the other portion requires a
diversion of mutual security funds to use for activities (the inforina-
tion and educational exchange programs) which are not within the
mutual security program and which properly should be financed from
funds requested. and appropriated under separate legislation for those
activities. The committee has therefore adopted the recommenda-
tion of the Executive than the authorization be repealed.
Section 204(l), amending section 419(4): Atoms for peace
Section 204(1.) amends section 419(a) of the act, which relates to
atoms for peace, by deleting the obsolete authorization for an appro-
priation for fiscal year 1960 and substituting an authorization for an
appropriation of?$3,400,000 for fiscal year 1961.
The program for next year involves five major items. The first is
a continuation of the program initiated 3 years ago to assist other
nations, on a bilateral or multilateral basis, in acquiring research
reactors by funding up to one-half of their cost. In no case may the

United States contribution to the cost of it reactor for any one country
exceed $350,000. To date 19 reactors have been financed under this
program of which 4 are in operation. Two applications are being
processed. Since most of the nations that can take advantage of this
assistance have done so, a deadline of July 1, 1960, has been set for
receipt of further requests for grants. Any requests after that date,
if approved, will be funded from the regular country program funds
of the mutual security appropriation.
The second component of the program includes grants to procure
laboratory equipment, subcritical assemblies for basic training, ma-
chines for medical centers, and other specialized apparatus to further
the application of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.
The third part includes funds for symposia such as the highly
successful inter-American symposium on peaceful applications of
nuclear energy and for the loan, on request, of United States experts
to individual countries on survey-type assignments.
The fourth category permits continued United States support to
the International Atomic Energy Agency. The budget of the latter
is made up of assessments of the 70 members. For calendar year
1960 it amounts to $5.8 million. The majority of the Agency's
technical programs are funded through the operational budget made
up of voluntary contributions. The annual goal of this budget is
$1.5 million. The United States contributes half of this amount by
pledging $500,000 and making available another $250,000 to match
contributions paid in by member states after the $1 million mark is
reached.
The fifth element in the program is a provision for a continuation
of the IAEA's fellowship program. To date 107 fellowships have
been awarded for training in the United States. This program is
administered by the National Academy of Sciences. For 1958 and
1959 applications numbered more than 800 with most of the appli-
cants expressing a preference for training in the United States. This
is a tribute to our leadership in the nuclear field.
Section 2011(m), adding a new section 1121: Loans to small farmers
This section states it to be United States policy to strengthen the
economies of less developed nations by improving the agricultural
methods and techniques and developing local programs of self-help
and mutual cooperation in nations where the economy is essentially
rural or based on small villages. A particular effort is to be made
through loans of foreign currencies to associations of operators of
small farms formed for the purpose of joint action designed to increase
or diversify agricultural productivity.
It is the policy also that the maximum unpaid balance of loans
made to any association under this section may not exceed the local
currency equivalent of $25,000 at any one time and that the aggregate
unpaid balance of all loans made under this section may not at any
one time exceed the equivalent of $10 million in local currencies.
The committee gave particular consideration to the experience of one
of its members who had been active in the founding in the State of
Punjab in India more than a generation ago of two associations of small
farmers which have been outstandingly successful. These associations
were able to borrow from government banks and, by providing capital
at reasonable interest rates, were able to release the operators of small
farms from the grip of the moneylenders. The operation of these

Approved For Releasee, 2003//I 0~/~ I IA- lP919gg965R0003002gg003-3
associations marked the beginning of a new era in the agriculture of the
region.
In countries where the economy is predominantly rural, progress
must begin on the village level. A modest beginning of loans from
accumulated foreign currencies to small farmer associations in a few
villages will help to set an excellent example. Small farmers in the
United States have benefited from such loans and this project will pass
on the American spirit of self-help aided by needed credit to peoples
abroad.
This amendment is not intended in any way to supersede, to enlarge,
or to restrict authority to provide assistance for agricultural purposes,
including assistance to associations of small farmers, under other
authority already contained in the Mutual Security Act or other
acts. Its purpose is to express the policy of the United States as
favoring loans of this nature in an effort to stimulate and encourage
the development of farm cooperatives along the lines indicated.
CHAPTER III. CONTINGENCY FUND
Section 301, amending section 451 (b) : Contingency Fund
Section 301 authorizes $100 million for a Contingency Fund provided
for in section 451(b) of the Mutual Security Act of 1954, as amended.
This is $75 million less than the .Executive request, and $55 million
less than was authorized and appropriated last yea''.
The Contingency Fund is not a separate category of assistance. It
is a special fund. It is needed to deal with two kinds of situations:
(a) Those which are known but not in sufficient detail to properly
present in one or more of the functional programs at the time of
legislative congressional presentation; (b) those which are not known
but, experience has shown, may arise during the course of the new
fiscal year.
The Fund provides essential flexibility in a program of this magni-
tude. Such flexibility can only be accomplished by authorizing
transferability of funds, which is provided for under conditions speci-
fied in section 501, or by including contingency items in the regular
programs, as opposed to a separate contingency fund. Neither is as
effective management as the general Contingency Fund, because, as
experience has shown, in both cases planning, programing, and opera-
tions of the regular programs are adversely affected when contingency
requirements arise.
The money in this Fund may be used for furnishing military assist-
ance, defense support, special assistance, and technical cooperation or
any of the other purposes of the act except for the Development Loan
Fund. Section 451(b) authorizes $100 million of the Contingency
Fund to be used each fiscal year under the authority in section 451(a)
which empowers the President to waive appropriate statutory require-
ments when he determines that such use is important to the security
of the Nation.
It is this Fund which has financed United States assistance in the
past to Taiwan following the Quemoy crisis, to Jordan as a result of
the Lebanon crisis, and to such countries as Nepal and Morocco as a
result of natural disasters-earthquakes, typhoons, or plagues.
Following careful examination of the experience under this section
of the act the committee felt that $100 million satisfactorily met the
authorization required for this Fund.

CHAPTER IV. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS
Section 401 (a), repealing section 504(d): Small machine tools and other
industrial equipment
Section 504(d) of the act authorizes the President to use not to
exceed $2,500,000 of the funds appropriated pursuant to section
451(b)-Contingency Fund-during fiscal year 1960 for the purpose
of making available to foreign small business concerns in under-
developed countries or to foreign government organizations established
to help such concerns in underdeveloped. countries, machine tools,
industrial equipment, and other equipment owned by agencies of the
United States Government.
This section, inserted in the Mutual Security Act in 1959, was not in
the bill as it passed the House but was accepted in conference. The
Mutual Security Appropriation Act, 1960 (Public Law 86-383), section
109, prohibited the use of any funds in that act to carry out the pro-
visions of section 504(d).
Since there is already adequate authority in the Mutual Security
Act of 1954. as amended, to carry out the activities authorized by
section 504(d), the committee has therefore adopted the recom-
mendation of the Executive that the authorization be repealed.
Section 401 (b), amending section 505(a): Loan assistance and sales
Section 505 (a) of the Mutual Security Act provides in part that
assistance pprovided' to foreign nations on terms of repayment may be
repaid (sub,ject to agreement) in foreign currencies or by transfer to
the United.
nited States of materials required for stockpiling or other
pu'r oses. The other purposes are not specified. ,
This amendment gives specific authorization to utilize, for assistance
under the act in accordance with the provisions of the Mutual. Security
Act applicable to such assistance, any commodities, equipment, and
materials transferred to the United States as repayment for mutual
security assistance to other nations.
In effect, the amendment authorizes assistance to be made available
on a barter basis. Adoption of the amendment will, for example,
facilitate arrangements for the manufacture of certain types of military
equipment in foreign countries. Ina number of cases the United States
desires to finance the manufacture of a particular weapon or item of
equipment in a foreign country and to receive payment for such financ-
ing in the form of deliveries of the manufactured item, which will then
be turned over to another nation receiving United States military
assistance.
Unless this amendment is enacted, it would be necessary for the
United States to receive repayment in the currency of the country.
involved and then to purchase the desired military equipment with
such currency. Under existing procedures, it is necessary to obligate
or resorve funds to finance the sales transaction to the foreign country,
to obligate an equivalent amount of funds to finance the purchase
from that country, and then to de.obli gate this latter amount when
the sales proceeds are used to pay for the purchase. Under the new
authority, the bookkeeping will be simplified and only the net amount
of funds will be programed.

the construction of flood control, reclamation, and other water and
related land resource development only when the benefits to be de-
rived from such projects exceed the costs. The calculation of such
benefits and costs is required to follow the pattern set forth in Bureau
of the Budget Circular A-47, December 31, 1952.
The purpose of the amendment is to assure that before United
States funds are committed to a project a comprehensive compilation
and analysis of anticipated costs-both direct and indirect-has been
made by qualified engineers and technicians, together with an equally
comprehensive and well-qualified estimate of anticipated benefits-
both direct and indirect. The standards and criteria of Circular A-47
are expected to be adhered to to the extent necessary to assure the
inclusiveness and adequacy of the cost benefit determination. At the
same time, it is recognized that in foreign countries circumstances
N be sufficiently different (including a lack of statistics and legal
institutional differences) from those in the United States that a
literal compliance with the conditions of the circular maybe impossible.
The committee is convinced that had this requirement been in effect
in prior years a number of projects which have not turned out as
intended would have been planned on a sounder basis or might not
have been started, with a significant saving to the United States
taxpayer and a perceptible enhancement of United States prestige.
Section 4.01(e), amending section 527: Employment of personnel
Section 401 (d) amends section 527 of the act, relating to the em-
ployment of personnel in three respects.
Paragraph, (1) amends subsection (b) which relates to employment
of personnel in the United States, by increasing (a) from 70 to 74 the
number of personnel employed in the United States on programs au-
thorized by the act who may be compensated without regard to the
provisions of the Classification Act of 1949, as amended, and (b) the
limitation on the number of such personnel from 45 to 49 within the
above mentioned ceiling, who may be compensated at rates higher
than those provided for grade 15 of the Classification Act general
schedule but not in excess of the highest rates provided for grades in
such general schedule. It leaves untouched that provision of law that
permits 15 of the 45 to receive compensation at a rate in excess of the
highest rate provided for grades of such general schedule but not in
excess of $19,000.
Section 527 (b) permits compensation of 45 individuals above GS-15,
of whom 30 may be paid the equivalent of supergrades-grades 16, 17,
and 18-and 15 may be paid in excess of GS-18 but not in excess of

$19,000. At the present time 43 of the 4,5 positions are filled. The
Office of the Coordinator for Mutual Security in the Department of
State has 5, the Office of the Inspector General and Comptroller in the
Department of State has 3, the Department of Defense has 4, and
ICA has 31. Although the law permits 15 of the above positions to
receive a maximum salary of $19,000, only 3 persons presently re-
ceive that salary, 2 of whom are in ICA and 1 in Defense.
Last year Congress increased the supergrade positions from 35 to
45. This year the Executive requested eight additional supergrade
positions. The committee recommends only four. The increase is
made necessary by the establishment of the Office of Inspector Gen-
eral and Comptroller and a decision in the executive branch that the
personnel needs of the Development Loan Fund should be met out
of the mutual security programwide supergrade pool. Additionally
the Office of the Coordinator for Mutual Security, the Department of
Defense, and ICA have identified top management positions that must
be filled by highly qualified individuals. The committee believes that
some of the positions which the Executive requested can be filled by
suitably qualified Foreign Service personnel. It noted also that two
of the authorized positions were unallocated. The committee is of
the opinion that many of the problems in the administration of the
program are those of management. It is desirous of strengthening
that portion of the program. In recommending the increase of four
new positions it expects that they will be filled only when, in the con-
sidered judgment of the Coordinator, topflight and experienced
individuals are found.
Paragraph (2) amends subsection (c), which relates to employment
outside the United States, in two respects. First, it vests the author-
ity of subsection (c) in the President, in conformity with the general
structure of the act. Second, it provides that Foreign Service Reserve
officers shall receive in-class promotions in accordance with such
regulations as the President may prescribe. Under section 625 of
the Foreign Service Act these officers, after having been in a given
class for 9 months or more, receive an in-class promotion on July 1 of
each fiscal year. This means that personnel appointed before October
1 in any given year (i.e., more than 9 months prior to July 1) receive
an in-class promotion on the next July 1, while those appointed after
October 1 must wait a full year following the next July 1. It is con-
templated under the proposed authority that Foreign Service Reserve
officers appointed or assigned pursuant to section 527(c)(2) of the act
may receive in-class promotions on the anniversary dates of their
appointment or assignment or of their last in-class promotion.
Paragraph (3) amends subsection (d), which relates to appointment
of alien employees outside the United States, to authorize the Secretary
of State to appoint aliens without the statutory requirement of a re-
quest from the Director of the Foreign Operations Administration.
By virtue of Executive Order 10610 the functions of the Director of the
Foreign Operations Administration were vested in the Secretary of
State.
Section 401(f), amending section 531: Security clearance
The present language in section 531 pertaining to security clearance
for employees of ICA is an outgrowth of procedures and standards
provided under the Economic Cooperation Act of 1948 and the Act
for International Development in 1950., On April 27, 1953, the

MUTUAL, SECURITY ACT OF 1960
President issued Executive order 10450 dealing with security re-
quirements for government employment. The Executive order is
more detailed than the language in section 531 and sets forth the
minimum type of information to be developed by investigations
carried out under the order. It is applicable to ICA personnel.
With the adoption of this amendment the standards and procedures
followed by ICA with regard to security clearance will be precisely the
same as those followed by all other government agencies including
those administering other elements of the mutual security program.
Section 401(g), amending section 533A(c): Inspector General and
Comptroller
In 1959 the committee initiated an amendment to the Mutual
Security Act, establishing a new Office of the Inspector General and
Comptroller with a staff, funds, and independence sufficient to enable
it to carry on a continuous scrutiny and evaluation of the operations
of the program. The committee has been disappointed in the time
it has taken the new Office of Inspector General and Comptroller to
get organized and begin operations.
This subsection is an amendment to strike out from the duties of the
Inspector General and Comptroller listed in section 533A(c) the duty
of "designing the form and prescribing the financial and statistical
content of the annual program presentation to the Congress."
The elimination of this duty would result in the Inspector General
and Comptroller being able to devote more time to seeking out
deficiencies in mutual security operations.
This amendment also would make it unnecessary for him under any
circumstances to defend the program or to explain its shortcomings.
His job is to discover waste and inefficiency in the program and to
see that corrective action is initiated. His energies should not be
diverted by other responsibilities. It is the purpose of this amend-
ment to enable him to concentrate on his primary objectives.
Section 401 (h), amending section 534(a): Reports
This section amends section 534(a) of the act which relates to
reports, so as to require a report by the President on operations under
the Mutual Security Act once each fiscal year in lieu of the present
requirement of a report each 6 months. It has happened that appro-
priations for the mutual security program have not been enacted
mto law until several months after the new fiscal year has elapsed.
Thus the content of the semiannual report produced for the first 6
months of a fiscal year has not been as meaningful as the report
issued for the last 6 months of the year. It is the committee's ex-
pectation that the annual report will be more informative and sub-
stantial than the semiannual reports.
Section 401 (i), amending section 537(a) (3): Provisions on uses of funds
Section 401 (g) amends section 537 (a) (3) of the act which relates to
provisions on uses of funds. The purpose is to clarify the basis upon
which ICA contracts with individuals, both Americans and aliens, to
furnish technical advice and assistance to foreign governments subject
to administrative and policy supervision and guidance by the ICA
mission. This section does not pertain to contracts between ICA and
universities, companies, or corporations. The Civil Service Commis-
sion has interpreted the provisions of contracts with individuals relat-

50 MUTUAL SECURITY ACT OF 1980
ing to ICA supervision and guidance as establishing an employer-
employee relationship which normally may not be established by con-
tract. The Commission has suggested that authority to enter into
such contracts be clarified.
The determination whether a contract establishes an employer-
employee or independent contractor relationship depends upon the
terms of each contract. The contract specifies the degree of ICA
supervision of the contractor, whether housing or office space is pro-
vided, and whether an end product, such as a report or design, is
sought as opposed to continuing services. No problem arises where
the individual and the host government enter into a contract financed
by ICA.
The question arises in those cases where ICA rather than the host
government enters into a contract with an individual technician and
where the contract provides for ICA direction and supervision of the
technician's activities in order to achieve the program objectives.
ICA may become a party to the contract where the host government
does not wish to enter into a contract with a foreign technician because
it is unfamiliar with contracting procedures or where the technician
himself may feel more secure with a United States Government con-
tract. In certain situations the host country prefers a contractual
arrangement rather than work by direct hire because of the particular
activity; for example, revision of tax laws. In other cases the tech-
nician normally performs his work by contract rather than becoming
a Federal employee.
The proposed language will make clear that such contracts with in-
dividuals for personal services will not result in the individual con-
tractor being regarded as an employee of the United States for the
purpose of any law administered by the Civil Service Commission
such as the Classification Act and the retirement system. The au-
thority also will be used, as is the present section 537(a) (3) of the act,
to hire aliens by contract for other types of services abroad, such as
custodial and housekeeping services.
Section 401(j), amending section 537(c): Construction or acquisition of
facilities abroad
Section 537(c) of the Mutual Security Act includes authorization
within a specified limit for the use of funds available for assistance
under the act for construction or acquisition of essential living quar-
ters, office space, and supporting facilities in Korea and in countries
other than Korea for use of personnel carrying out activities under
the act.
The existing cumulative ceiling for countries other than Korea is
$2,750,000. The amendment increases this ceiling by $1,500,000 to
$4,250,000.
The existing authorization has all been allocated or earmarked for
specific projects. The increase is made necessary by the fact that
mutual security operations are being extended in the less developed
areas (including Africa) where living quarters and office facilities do
not exist, as well as the fact that it is necessary for the United States
to provide new housing and offices in the new Pakistan national
capital (Rawalpindi). It is planned that in a few locations school
facilities for children of United States personnel will be provided.

Section 40e1(k), adding a new section 552: Assistance to Cuba
The committee gave careful consideration to the question of
continuing assistance to Cuba. The people of the United States have
a deep and abiding friendship for the people of Cuba which they
b:olieve to be reciprocated. During the .",markup" sessions the Sub-
committee on Inter-American Affairs was requested to study the
question of continuing assistance to Cuba and to report its recom-
mendations to the full committee.
The subcommittee met for 2 days and made an exhaustive examina-
tion of existing technical assistance programs in Cuba, receiving
additional information from officials of the Department of State as
well as further information from the Department of Defense concern-
ing a training program listed under military assistance.
The basic technical assistance programs had originally been negoti-
ated with the government of President Prio in 1951, with extensions
from time to time through negotiations between the International
Cooperation Administration and Cuban officials at the ministerial
level. $350,000 originally had been programed for technical assistance
projects in Cuba during fiscal year 1961. The subcommittee learned
that programs totaling $97,000 were no longer active, leaving active
projects still 'programed for fiscal 1961 totaling $253,000.
In view of the present political situation in Cuba, United States
military assistance has been suspended and none has been programed
for fiscal year 1961. During the executive presentation the committee
was furnished an expenditure figure under military assistance for
fiscal year 1961 of $202,000. Upon investigation it developed that this
figure was based on a preliminary estimate which has since been cor-
rected to $184,877. It does not cover any activity proposed for fiscal
year 1961. It represents delayed billing for six Cuban cadets who
have been receiving their courses in the United States. Two of these
completed their courses in February 1960 and the other four will
complete their training in May 1960. The subcommittee was in-
formed that preparation and processing of the billing for this training
runs 6 to 9 months after completion of the training.
The subcommittee felt that the question of terminating the tech-
nical assistance programs should be decided by the full committee, and
recommended language for that purpose in the event the committee
so decided. The full committee adopted and incorporated in the bill
as section 552 the language recommended by the subcommittee.
The committee is aware of the possibility that its action in recom-
mending present termination of the technical assistance programs in
Cuba may be misconstrued. Nevertheless, the committee is keenly
conscious of its responsibility in recommending the appropriation of
the funds,of American taxpayers and wishes to ensure their expendi-
ture only for purposes that will promote our foreign policy objectives
in a manner consistent with the national and hemispheric interest.
The language adopted by the committee is intended to emphasize
this deep concern and it is not indicative of it lessening of our tradi-
tional friendship for the people of Cuba.

CHAPTER V. TECHNICAL AMENDMENTS REFLECTING NEW
LIMITS OF UNITED STATES
Section 501: Technical amendments
This section amends the various provisions of the Mutual Security
Act which refer to the "continental limits of the United States" so as
to make clear that references to the United States include all 50
States.
CHAPTER VI. AMENDMENTS TO OTHER LAWS
AGRICULTURAL TRADE DEVELOPMENT AND ASSISTANCE ACT OF 1954, AS
AMENDED
Section 601(a), amending section 202: Famine relief and other assistance
This section amends section 202 of title II, Public Law 480, which
relates to famine relief and other assistance, to permit the use of surplus
agricultural commodities under title II to promote the economic
development of undeveloped areas. No mutual security appropria-
tion would be required since United States contribution in support of
development projects would be in the form of grants of surplus com-
modities from stocks held by the Commodity Credit Corporation.
This amendment is identical to the amendment contained in H.R.
8609, a bill to amend Public Law 480 reported by the House Com-
mittee on Agriculture on August 15, 1959, and passed by the House on
August 20, 1959. It was later eliminated. in conference without
explanation.
The amended language will enable the United States to undertake
longer term programs in those underdeveloped countries where food
consumption is low and underemployment is high. Currently title II
authority is being used in several countries to donate surplus com-
modities on an emergency basis for community development-type
projects. With this new authority, projects of a more lasting nature
could be undertaken under circumstances in which there is more time
for planning and arranging local financing needs.
A sufficient number of work projects have been operated on an
emergency basis to assure that they are highly successful in terms of
local popularity, enhancement of United States prestige, providing a
means for the employment of surplus labor by erecting needed com-
munity facilities, and assisting in the movement of additional agricul-
tural surpluses. For example, during the 6-month period ended
December 31, 1959, 42,000 tons of wheat and feed grains have been
shipped to Tunisia for emergency work projects, including the con-
struction and renovation of earth dams, tree planting, building of
firebreaks, and various soil conservation and reclamation activities.
About two-thirds of the workers' wages are paid in United States
grain and the remainder in cash contributed by the Tunisian Govern-
ment.
In addition to work projects, there are other opportunities antici-
pated for using surplus commodities in bringing help to needy people.
In many of the newly independent African countries, development
might be stepped up considerably by providing commodities which
can be sold by revenue-short governments to finance public programs
such as those in the field of education.

Section 601 (b), amending section 203: General average contributions
arising out of ocean transport
Section 601(b) amends Public Law 480, title II, section 203. Sec-
tion 203 authorizes the use of Public Law 480 funds to pay ocean
freight charges on surplus agricultural commodities furnished to
foreign nations to meet famine or other urgent or extraordinary relief
requirements.
This amendment authorizes the use of such funds to pay certain
charges arising from losses of a ship's cargo. When a portion of a
ship or ship's cargo is sacrificed to save the remaining cargo or the
ship, the loss is shared among all owners of cargo as well as other
parties in the sea venture.
Title to agricultural commodities made available under title II of
Public Law 480 passes to the recipient country at the United States
port. Consequently, the beneficiary of a United States contribution
for disaster relief has on occasion been presented with a bill for general
average claims? A claim presented to a foreign government under such
circumstances tends to be embarrassing to the United States. The
United States desires, in the few cases when such claims arise, to be
able to meet them from the funds available for paying ocean freight
charges.
MUTUAL SECURITY ACT OF 1959
Section 602, repealing section 501(b): International cooperation in health
Section 501(b) of the Mutual Security Act of 1959 (Public Law
86-108) authorizes the use of $2 million of the funds appropriated
pursuant to section 451(b) of the Mutual Security Act of 1954 to
determine the feasibility of future intensive programs for dealing with
international disease problems. This provision was not in the bill
which passed the House and represents a compromise arrived at in
conference.
The Mutual Security Appropriation Act, 1960 (Public Law 86-383),
section 110, contains a limitation that none of the funds appropriated
could be used to carry out the provisions of section 501 of the Mutual
Security Act of 1959.
Since there is already adequate authority in the Mutual Security
Act of 1954, as amended, to carry out the activities authorized by
section 501(b), the Committee on Foreign Affairs has adopted the
recommendation of the Executive that this authorization be repealed.

SEC. 2. STATEMENT OF POLICY.-(a) It is the sense of the Congress
that peace in the world increasingly depends on wider recognition,
both in principle and practice, of the dignity and interdependence of
men; and that the survival of free institutions in the United States
can best be assured in a worldwide atmosphere of expanded freedom.
(b) Through programs of assistance authorized by this Act and its
predecessors, the United States has helped thwart dommunist intimi-
dation in many countries of the world, has helped Europe recover
from the wounds of World War II, has supported defensive military
preparations of nations alerted by Communist aggression, and has
soundly begun to help peoples of economically underdeveloped areas
to develop their resources and improve their living standards.
(c) Programs authorized by this Act continue to serve the follow-
ing principal purposes:
(1) The Congress recognizes the basic identity of interest which
exists between the people of the United States and the peoples of other
lands who are striving to establish and develop politically independent
and economically viable units, and to produce more goods and services,
and to improve ways of living by methods which reflect the popular
will, and to realize aspirations for justice, for education, and for
dignity and respect as individual human beings, and to establish
responsible governments which will cooperate with other like-minded
governments. The Congress declares it to be a primary objective and
need of the United States, and one consistent with its tradition and
ideals, to share these strivings by providing, assistance, with due
regard for our other obligations, to peoples willing to work energeti-
cally toward these ends.
(2) The Congress recognizes that the peace of the world and the
security of the United States are endangered so long as international
communism and the nations it controls continue by threat of military
action, by the use of economic pressure, and by internal subversion, or
other means to attempt to bring under their domination peoples now
free and independent and continue to deny the rights of freedom and
self-government to peoples and nations once free but now subject to
such domination. The Congress declares it to be the policy of the
United States to continue so long as such danger to the peace of the
world and to the security of the United States persists, to make avail-
able to other free nations and peoples upon. request assistance of such
nature and in such amounts as the United States deems advisable
compatible with its own stability, strength, and other obligations, and
as may be needed and effectively used by such free nations and peoples
to help them maintain their freedom.
(d) It is the sense of the Congress that inasmuch as-
(I) the United States, through mutual security programs, has
made substantial contributions to the economic recovery and re-
habilitation of the nations of Western Europe; and

(2) due',in part to those programs, it has been possible for such
nations to achieve complete economic recovery and to regain their
military strength; andp
(3) certain other friendly nations of the world remain in need
of assistance in order that they may defend themselves against ag-
gression and contribute to the security of the free world;
those nations which have been assisted in their recovery should, in the
future, share with the United States to a greater extent the financial
burden of providing aid to those countries which are still in need of
assistance of the type provided under this Act.
(e) It is the sense of the Congress that assistance provided under
this Act shall be administered so as to assist other peoples in their
efforts to achieve self-government or independence under circum-
stances which will enable them to assume an equal station among the
free nations of the world and to fulfill their responsibilities for self-
government or independence. To this end, assistance shall be ren-
dered where appropriate and feasible in such a way as to promote the
emergence of political units which are economically viable, either alone
or in cooperation with neighboring units.
(f) It is the sense of the Congress that inasmuch as-
(1) the United States favors freedom of navigation in inter-
national waterways and economic cooperation between nations; and
(2) the purposes of this Act are negated and the peace of the
world is endangered when nations which receive assistance under
this Act wage economic warfare against other nations assisted under
this Act, including such procedures as boycotts, blockades, and
the restriction of the use of international waterways;
assistance under this Act and the Agricultural Trade Development and
Assistance Act of 1954, as amended, shall be administered to give effect
to these principles, and, in all negotiations between the United States
and any foreign state arising as a result of funds appropriated under
this Act or arising under the Agricultural Trade Development and Assist-
ance Act of 1954, as amended, these principles shall be applied, as the
President may determine, and he shall report on measures taken by the
administration to insure their application.
CHAPTER I-MILITARY ASSISTANCE
SEC. 107. PURPOSE OF CHAPTEn.-The Congress of the United
States reaffirms the policy of the United States to achieve international
peace and security through the United Nations so that armed force
shall not be used except in the common defense. The Congress hereby
finds that the efforts of the United States and other nations to promote
peace and security require additional measures of support based upon
the principle of continuous and effective self-help and mutual aid. It
is the purpose of this chapter to authorize measures in the common
defense, including the furnishing of military assistance to friendly
nations and international organizations in order to promote the for-
eign policy, security, and general welfare of the United States and to
facilitate the effective participation of such nations in arrangements
for individual and collective self-defense. In furnishing such military
assistance, it remains the policy of the United States to continue to
exert maximum efforts to achieve universal control of weapons of mass
destruction and universal regulation and reduction of armaments, in-

eluding armed forces, under adequate safeguards to protect complying
nations against violation and evasion.
The Congress reaffirms its previous expressions favoring the crea-
tion by the free peoples of the Far East and the Pacific of a joint or-
ganization, consistent with the Charter of the United Nations, to estab-
lish a program of self-help and mutual cooperation designed to develop
their economic and social well-being, to safeguard basic rights and.
liberties and to protect their security and independence.
The Congress hereby reiterates its opposition to the seating in the
United Nations of the Communist China regime as the representative
of China. In the event of the seating of representatives of the Chi-
nese regime in the Security Council or General Assembly of the United
Nations, the President is requested to inform the Congress insofar as
is compatible with the requirements of national security, of the impli-
cations of this action upon the foreign policy of the United States and
our foreign relationships, including that created by membership in the
United Nations, together with any recommendations which he may
have with respect to the matter.
SEC. 102. GENERAL AUTHORITY.-Military assistance may be fur-
nished under this chapter on a grant or loan basis and upon such
other appropriate terms as may be agreed upon, by the procurement
from any source and the transfer to eligible nations and international
organizations of equipment, materials, and services or by the provision
of any service, including the assignment or detail of members of the
Armed Forces and other personnel of the Department of Defense
solely to assist in an advisory capacity or to perform other duties of
a non-combatant nature, including military training or advice.
SEC. 103. AUTHORIZATIONS.-(a) There is hereby authorized to be
appropriated to the President for use beginning in the fiscal year
1960 to carry out the purposes of this chapter not to exceed $1,400,-
000,000, which shall remain available until expended. Programs of
military assistance subsequent to the fiscal year 1960 program shall
be budgeted so as to come into competition for financial support with
other activities and programs of the Department of Defense. There
is hereby authorized to be appropriated to the president for the fiscal
years 1961 and 1962 such sums as may be necessary from time to time
to carry out the purposes of this chapter, which sums shall remain
available until expended.
(b) Funds made available pursuant to subsection (a) of this section
shall be available for the administrative and operating expenses of
carrying out the purpose of this chapter including expenses incident
to United States participation in international security organizations.
(c) When appropriations made pursuant to subsection (a) of this

SUPPLEMENTAL VIEWS OF CONGRESSMAN ALVIN M.
BENTLEY ON FOREIGN AID BILL
I opposed reporting the Mutual Security Act of 1960, H.R. 11510,
out of the Foreign Affairs Committee at this time since I feel strongly
that the entire program is overdue for a complete review and reap-
praisal. Such action has not been taken by the Foreign Affairs
Committee during its current hearings on this legislation.
In order to accomplish this, I introduced H.R. 10084 on February 2,
1960, which contained the basic mutual security legislation, the 1954
act with subsequent amendments up to and including the authorizing
legislation passed last year.
When the markup of the present legislation commenced, I offered
my bill as a substitute. This substitute was rejected by a committee
vote and, therefore, I opposed reporting out the present bill at this time.
If a recommittal motion is offered to send the present bill, H.R.
11510, back to committee for further study and review, I will vote for
it. If this motion is defeated, however, I expect to vote for passage
of the present bill. This represents a reversal of the position I have
taken in previous years, but I do admit that the mutual security pro-
gram has greatly improved in recent years, especially in the trend
from grants to loans for purposes of economic aid. I also feel that there
has been substantial improvement in the administration of the pro-
gram, a step for which the Foreign Affairs Committee deserves much
credit.
This does not mean that I am completely satisfied with the present
program, apart from the urgent necessity for its thorough review. I
am deeply concerned over certain aspects of the military assistance,
especially its programs in countries whose armed forces would reason-
ably be expected to contribute little or nothing to the defense of the
free world in the event of an all-out war. Undoubtedly, there exists
a certain amount of justification for such nations to have limited
forces for reasons of internal security, but in many instances the
country programs go far beyond such criteria. I feel strongly that
much more emphasis should be placed on economic aid in those par-
ticular areas for the purpose of assisting the people of those countries
to improve their economies and raise their standard of living. I think
that such steps would make them more immune to Communist
penetration than the topheavy military programs nowbeing undertaken.
The vast amounts of local or "soft" currencies which the mutual
security and other programs are creating throughout the world is like-
wise a cause for real concern. There are certain countries where our
holdings of such currencies are far in excess of the absorptive capacities
of the countries themselves and can only result in creating inflationary
pressures. Indeed, there are certain holdings of local currencies of
such size that they could not possibly be spent in the foreseeable
future. This has been due in part to the fact that there are a variety
of programs which create these currencies, many of which are not

108 MUTUAL SECURITY ACT OF 1960
under the control of the Foreign Affairs Committee. I feel there
should be much more centralization of direction in this respect, both on
the executive and on the legislative level.
The so-called foreign-aid program seems now to have become a
permanent part of our foreign policy, regardless of the political admin-
istration in power. While registering my concern over certain
aspects of the program, as stated above, and while insisting upon the
necessity for more constant review and reappraisal than the program
has received from the Foreign Aff airs Committee, I nevertheless accept
the fact that the program is here to stay, possibly for an indefinite
period of time. My opposition to the program in the past has often
been assumed to be opposition to the entire concept of foreign aid,
which was never the case. I, therefore, announce my support of the
present program even if my efforts to require its further study and
review are unsuccessful. In any event, the committee has shown its
agreement with my position by promising to undertake such a study
early in the coming year. I happen personally to believe, however,
that such a study should not be delayed that long merely because of
the time element in the present congressional session.
One final word. By agreeing to open-end authorizations for mili-
tary assistance and the Development Loan Fund as was done in the
Mutual Security Act of 1959, I feel that the Congress has abdicated a
great deal of its responsibility in this field. I, therefore, expect to
offer an amendment which would terminate this authorization for
military assistance since I feel strongly that no blank checks should
be given to the Executive in this or indeed in any other program of
comparable size. The Foreign Affairs Committee is expected to set
policy for the Congress in this field and it cannot possibly do so with-
out undertaking annually the closest scrutiny of the operational de-
tails as well as the overall trend of mutual security legislation. I
sincerely trust that the committee will undertake to expand its own
staff to a number sufficient to do the job that the Congress and, indeed,
the entire country expects of it.

MINORITY VIEWS OF MR. PILCHER, MRS. CHURCH, AND
MR. ADAIR ON H.R. 11510
For some years, as earnest participants on the committee consider-
ing the Mutual Security Act, we have felt compelled to be realistic
and honest critics, not of what is sought to be done but of the inade-
quate planning and poor administration of the program. Despite
efforts this year to make some improvements in this basic legislation,
we can see no indication that the actual planning and administration
of the program will be radically changed. As in previous years, we
who find this present bill unsatisfactory again assert that we believe
in mutual security, We do not believe, however, that the present
measure, H.R. 11510, adequately meets the challenge to provide such
mutual security. It does not present the new imaginative program
which is so necessary to further the efforts of the United States to
build peace and progress in this troubled world.
Despite conclusive evidence that, due to obvious uncorrected
weaknesses, the program has failed to achieve the anticipated results
toward the establishment of security in the free world, H.R. 11510,
as reported out by the Committee on Foreign Affairs, authorizes an
appropriation of $1,318,400,000, a reduction of $136,500 from the
Executive request. In addition, there are continuing authorizations,
agreed to by the committee last year, for military assistance, the
Development Loan Fund, and other smaller items, in the amount of
$2,720,100,000. In other words, the total amount proposed to be
appropriated for fiscal year 1961 is $4,038,500,000. Furthermore,
under Public Law 480, additional funds will be made available to the
mutual security program.
Last fall a study mission comprised of members of the Committee
on Foreign Affairs completed a 40,000-mile tour to study the impact
of U.S. foreign aid programs in the areas around the world. The
chairman of this minority report was also chairman of the study
mission. Another signer of the minority report accompanied him.
In its report the study mission pointed up the reality and justice of
our former criticisms. The final conclusions of the report had this
to say about foreign aid:
The study mission is convinced that a realistic review and
reappraisal of our aid program is immediately necessary,
and that greater supervision must be given to its operations.
However noble the purpose or well advised the goal, the
quality and success of performance remain an essential cri-
terion of success. We have pointed out in this report specific
cases of poor programing and excessive spending. There is
indication in more than one instance that, as suggested by
83899-80--8.

the Comptroller General in 1959, the field operations have
actually been hampered by an excess rather than a paucity
of funds. A far more vigorous effort, moreover, must be
made to correct conditions and weaknesses that are known
to exist and that have been pointed out again and again.
There is some indication that blame for such weaknesses
should be placed as much, if not snore, on the planners in
Washington than on those in the field. In any event, there
is ample justification for our insistence that there be a
complete revision of programs and operations.
In fact, there is justification for insistence on a broader
vision and a more imaginative approach. Such approach
should aim to produce in the peoples" of the world greater
and more successful self-reliance and. stable political institu-
tions under which the people in each country could live in
freedom and dignity with full enjoyment of economic progress
under democratic institutions.
What is desperately needed in this world to build sound
bodies and sound minds is an adequate food supply and
elementary education. In generations to come, grandiose
dams and multi-million-dollar fertilizer plants might bring
ultimate benefit, but we express again our fear of the incon-
sistent and strikingly dangerous gap between such grandiose
projects at the top and the millions of human beings still
starving, still untaught, who have neither the stamina to
undertake nor the capacity to understand self-government.
Without such understanding and capacity there is little
chance for orderly progress. Such a course only adds to
economic dislocation and confusion. Premature advance
toward industrialization not only seriously strains the present
capacity of countries but is bound to produce an insecure
economic base. We would urge, therefore, that primary
attention be given to food production and the teaching of at
least elementary knowledge.
Since the end of World War II, the United States has spent
well over 80 billions of dollars in aid to the nations of the
world. The program has assisted in the effort of keeping
them free and improving their economic position. In recent
years changing conditions in the United States and in the
world require reappraisal and revision of the program.
The struggle to maintain freedom and encourage economic
development involves the future of all free nations and,
therefore, must be regarded by them as a Joint responsibility.
The financial condition of the United States makes an
expenditure each year of $3 to $4 billion an extremely
difficult burden to carry. Such an effort can be justified
only if the programs and obligations succeed in achieving
their objectives. The American citizen today is paying
more peacetime taxes than ever before. Interest on the
public debt is taking approximately one-twelfth of all taxes
collected. The American dollar, once the strongest and

most sought after currency in the world, is selling at a dis-
count in some countries (e.g., Canada, Switzerland, Belgium).
Our gross national debt is approximately $292 billion.
Those nations which the United States helped to rehabili-
tate after World War II, and which are now financially strong,
should make every effort to assist, both militarily and eco-
nomically, in strengthening the less developed countries.
The United States should no longer carry so large a share of
the military and economic assistance to the other free nations
of the world.
Furthermore, since 1947, the United States has so given
to other countries its technical "know-how" and the dollars
to develop it, that its own formerly unchallenged economic
supremacy of the free world is under successful attack.
The United. States faces stronger economic competition than
ever before-a competition that can have an immeasurable
effect not only on our trade but on our industrial prosperity
and the high living standards of our workers. Every pos-
sible wise step must be taken to protect our own position in
world trade as well as the stability of the American dollar.
These facts, in addition to the findings of the study mis-
sion, underlie our insistence for an immediate detailed
examination and careful review and revision of programs
and operations.
In particular, the study mission comes back impressed by
obvious evidence that ultimate failure is inherent in the
program unless we can somehow develop plans and opera-
tions that will reach down to the people themselves of each
country.
Paul G. Hoffman, in his pamphlet, "One Hundred Countries, One
and One-Quarter Billion People," succinctly states the problems con-
fronting underdeveloped countries:
The underdeveloped countries need high-level manpower
just as urgently as they need capital. Indeed, unless these
countries are able to develop the required strategic human
resources they cannot effectively absorb capital. But human
resources of the less-developed nations have been shame-
fully neglected. Only a very small percentage of the people
who live in these countries have ever had an opportunity to
acquire an education and only a few have ever had positions
of responsibility. There is a huge need for training of all
types from on-the-job training of artisans to training in
more complex technological and management sciences.
Of all the resources required for economic development,
high-talent manpower requires the longest "lead-time" for
its creation. Dams, power stations, textile factories, and
steel mills can be constructed in a few years, but it takes 10
to 15 years to develop managers, engineers, and the adminis-
tration to operate them. The existence of such manpower,

112 MUTUAL SECURITY ACT' OF 1960
however, is essential if the countries are to achieve self-sus-
taining growth.
Thus, while it is imperative that these countries survey
their natural resources and draw up programs spelling out
priorities for the strategic investment of capital in their de-
velopment, so must they draw up sonic kind of a "high-level
manpower budget" for the next 10 or even 20 years. This
should be an integral part of their development plan.
Eugene R. Black, President of the International Bank for Recon-
struction and Development, in a speech made at Oxford University,
England, on March 3, 1960, stated:
We think that in administering economic aid quality is
more important than quantity; even. the most enthusiastic
supporters of economic aid recognize that the outside world
cannot provide more than a small margin of the resources
needed; the really crucial economic and human resources
must come from within. Therefore, it is only realistic, we
think, to try to use economic aid primarily to promote proper
standards in the art of managing a country's resources. * * *
This present legislation in no sense gives the true picture of what is
available for mutual security. Attention is directed to the following
figures showing mutual security funds by program and amount avail-
able for expenditure for fiscal year 1960, which were inserted in the
Congressional Record of March 31, 1960, by Hon. Otto E. Passman,

INADEQUATE PLANNING AND POOR ADMINISTRATION
Since the end of World War II the United States has spent more
than $80 billion to assist nations in remaining free and in improving
their economic conditions. Newly independent nations seek to build
prestige by building huge dams, steel mills, and super highways before
there is need for such grandiose projects. As a result the Inter-
national Cooperation Administration has acceded to too many re-
quests for such programs and there have been too many projects
begun without proper planning, determination of need, or benefits to
be derived. Too often the people at the grassroots do not derive any
immediate benefits from these grandiose projects-but continue to
live in poverty and hunger under circumstances which certainly are
not conducive to economic well being or the development of demo-
cratic processes. Too much emphasis has been placed on meeting
the personal desires of the political leaders of the recipient govern-
ments and too little emphasis on the needs of the little people who,
after all, determine the potential and the future of each country.

MCJTUAt. SECUiIT1 ACT Or 1960 115
There is a true need for technical assistance in all of the under-
developed nations, but such assistance should be given on the basis of
a smaller number of better selected projects. A study mission, of
which two of the signers of this minority report were members, found
more than 600 projects in being in one country and more ready to
be started before completion of the existing projects. The criticism
that a multiplicity of projects has been undertaken is justified by
the appended compilation showing aid to and projects in countries
which the study mission visited (pp. 119 to 172).
In too many instances inadequate planning has resulted in the
undertaking of impractical and unsuitable projects in underdeveloped
nations which have led to excessive spending and waste of U.S. funds.
We cite the following examples in support of these charges: A high-
way program in Vietnam on which the costs have skyrocketed from
$18 million to $85 million, and may exceed $100 million before its
completion; a fertilizer plant in Taiwan, started with foreign aid
money and estimated to cost approximately $34 million, which is
nonoperable because some of the equipment does not meet the spec-
ifications for the desired operations, and on which the Taiwanese
Government has instituted proceedings against the manufacturer for
contractual noncompliance; radio towers installed in Saigon which
have never been put in operation because their utility is undetermined
and their location in doubt.
As a further illustration, it seems worth while at this point to go
into the problem of the Saigon water program in detail, and quote
from the previously mentioned subcommittee report.
* * * Everyone agrees Saigon badly needs a new water
system, but plans have bogged down in a heated dispute
between two schools of thought. On one side is the Inter-
national Water Corp. of Pittsburgh which believes in deep
wells. It has done business in Saigon for 30 years and has
drilled most of the city's wells. on the other side is the
Hydro-Technique Corp. of New York which believes in
dams and pipelines.
Our foreign aid authorities gave the Hydro-Technique
Corp. a $200,000 contract for a survey 2 years ago. Hydro-
Technique came up with a report favoring a dam and filtra-
tion plant on Dang Nai River near Bien Hoa, 18 miles north
of Saigon. From this plant a 72-inch pipeline would lead
to Saigon. The International Water Corp. made several
surveys, all of which showed again that deep wells are quite
adequate. What is more, the International Water Corp.
said they would be much cheaper and provide water much
sooner. The Hydro-Technique pipeline project is estimated
to cost $19..5 million to be put in by the United States. The
;international claims it can give Saigon all the water it needs
indefinitely for $12 to $14 million. The Vietnamese seem'to
favor the dam and pipeline system, but the military of both
Vietnam and the.United States have raised the question of

security. It was at Bien Iioa that two American military
advisers recently were killed when Red terrorists tossed a
grenade into a movie audience.
It is pointed out that the 18-mile above-ground pipeline
could be sabotaged and the already hard-pressed Vietnamese
Armed Forces probably would have to furnish daily patrols,
as well as guards for the river plant.
In November 1959 the Development Loan Fund approved
a $19.5 million loan for the water system and called for
another survey. Who gets the contract for this survey and
what it will cost, we do not know.
The most urgent need in many of the underdeveloped countries is
the employment of manpower, which is one of their greatest economic
resources. There is intense need for development of the agricultural
regions and the implementation of small industries so that this exces-
sive supply of manpower may be put to productive use, instead of
the multimillion-dollar projects carried out by contract with large
business firms only interested in making a profit, with little or no
regard for the utilization of local manpower.
LOSS OF CONGRESSIONAL CONTROL
We regret that each year there is further shrinkage in the degree
of control exercised over the program by the Congress. Progressive
loss of control of funds inevitably leads to loss of administrative
control. In the face of our repeated criticisms over the years of the
administrative deficiencies in the foreign aid program, the executive
branch this year requested an appropriation of $4,175 million for
mutual security. During fiscal year 1959 total U.S. mutual security
expenditures were $3,898 million. Despite the fact that we are being
asked to continue to pour vast sums of money into the program, this
request for funds in fiscal year 1961 makes no suggestion for strength-
ening congressional control over the programing and expenditure of
funds. Nor is any recognition seemingly given to the fact that many
of the projects do not have economic justification, let alone a defense
requirement.
It is true that the bill for this year contains no authorization for
military assistance. The mutual security law was changed last year
so as to provide that for fiscal years 1961 and 1962 such sums as
might be necessary could be appropriated for military assistance.
This is an open-end authorization. There is no possible way to
indicate just how much will actually be spent for the military under
the unlimited amount authorized. We definitely feel that such
authorization further weakens the control of the Congress over the
funds and over the program.
In our judgment, the Congress made a serious mistake when it
changed the pattern of congressional action as regards the military
aid programs which previously had prevailed for nearly 10 years. It
is urgent that we return to the original procedure whereby military
assistance funds were annually authorized and annually appropriated.

MUTUAL SECURITY ACT OF 1960 117
BUREAUCRACY IN MUTUAL SECURITY PROGRAMS
The foreign aid program is administered by an increasingly large
number of personnel without any noticeable increase in efficiency.
This has led to the creation of an entrenched, self-perpetuating bureauc-
racy, still growing in size, power, and inefficiency. In this regard, the
figures speak for themselves. In December 1948, a total of 2,858 per-
sons were employed in the economic aid program. Today there are
more than 42,000 personnel employed in the administration of the
mutual security program.
INADEQUACY OF INSPECTION
The Office of Inspector General and Comptroller was created in last
year's mutual security legislation to undertake the required actions to
correct a program warped with waste and inefficiency. It was hoped
that the creation of such an office would bring to the program a fresh
review through impartial inspection by competent personnel whose
judgment would not be prejudiced through long-time association with
the practices and operations. under consideration. It was brought out
in the hearings on the program this year that personnel who have
worked with the International Cooperation Administration in various
capacities throughout the years are now being employed in this new
Office of Inspector General-Comptroller. We find no personal fault
with those administering the Office of Inspector General-Comptroller
but we do feel. that the decision to place the inspection of the program
in the hands of those who have been intimately associated with its
development was a wrong decision.
DANGERS IN THE DEVELOPMENT LOAN FUND
The Development Loan Fund continues to be an adjunct of the
foreign-aid program for the making of loans rather than grants. When
the Development Loan Fund was created, many of us were given the
impression that the making of loans to underdeveloped countries for
economic development would result in a reduction of economic grant
assistance. There has been no appreciable reduction in the use of
economic grant assistance funds.
Testimony received during the hearings indicates that money in the
fund has been earmarked for certain countries without having received
from those countries specifications and plans for particular economic
projects. As a result of this unorthodox and inefficient procedure,
many countries with worthy projects have been denied the assistance
that they require because of the lack of funds. Until sound methods
arelutilized, the Development Loan Fund cannot possibly achieve
maximum success.

NEED FOR REVIEW AND REVISION OF MUTUAL SECURITY PROGRAM
In prior years we have expressed our strong conviction that a
realistic and objective review of the mutual security program and the
legislation by which it is implemented should be immediately under-
taken. Although annual revision of the act has been made, the basic
legislation has not been thoroughly considered or rewritten since 1954.
We are hopeful that the entire mutual security legislation will be
reviewed by the committee in the next session of Congress.
Again this year we urge a thorough study, a reappraisal, and a
redefining of foreign policies and methods. What is needed is a deeper
understanding of the fundamental problems, better programing, and
more efficient administration. To continue to vote large appropri-
ations for the mutual security program is not enough. To refuse to
face the facts and in the very name of mutual security and freedom
fail to demand adequate remedy for current deficiencies would be a
negation of our congressional responsibility.

Late in 1959, the Philippine Congress passed
several bills providing for increased autonomy for
local governments, including barrios. One im-
portant provision was the authority for local
governments to levy taxes which could be later
utilized in community development projects.
These laws mark a significant turning point in
political development. It is expected that sub-

national government to the barrio as the unit of

From a deficiency, livestock has risen sufficiently
to permit the export in 1957 of $1300,000 of live-
stock and livestock products.' Tue 1957 export
earnings were more than the total U.S. contribu-
tion in dollars. In addition the development of a
sound livestock industry is of great significance to
the economically depressed northeast area of
Thailand (approximately a third of the nation).
Also, as a result of the greater number of cattle,
and hogs, a modern slaughterhouse and meat proc-
essing plant is being constructed by a private
