';( Mr. MANSFIEL). Mr. President, I ask
unanimous consent to have printed in
the RECORD an excerpt from the report
(No. 91-1517), explaining the purposes
of the measure.
There being no objection, the excerpt
was ordered to be printed in the RECORD,
as follows:
House Concurrent Resolution 785 as re-
ferred would provide (1) that (with the per-
mission of the copyright owner of the book,
"Our American Government and How It
Works: 1001 Questions and Answers," by
Wright Patman, Member of Congress, pub-
lished by Bantam Books, Inc.) there be
printed as a House document, as soon as
practicable, for maximum usefulness to
Members of the 92d Congress, with emenda-
tions, the pamphlet entitled "Our American
Government. What Is It? How Does It Func-
tion?" and (2) that there be printed 1,084,-
000 additional copies of such document, of
which 206,000 copies would be for the use
of the Senate (2,000 per Member) and 878;
000 copies would be for the use of the House
of Representatives (2,000 per Member).
Copies of the document would be prorated to
Members of the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives for a period of 60 days, after which
the unused balances would be distributed by
the respective Senate and House document
rooms,
The amendment approved by the Senate
Committee on. Rules and Administration
would reduce the Senate allotment of the
publication from 206,000 to 103,000 (from
2,000 to 1,000 per Member). This action by
the committee was motivated by the fact
that certain Members of the Senate still have
considerable quantities of the previous edi-
tion of the document available for distribu-
tion. The committee has also amended the
title of the concurrent resolution to prop-
erly identify the compilation to be printed.
The printing-cost estimate, supplied by
the Public Printer, is as follows:,

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENA'PRO-
PRIATIONS BILL, 1971 ONFER-
ENCE REPORT
Mr. ELLENDER. Mr. President, I sub-
mit a report of the committee of con-
ference on the disagreeing votes of the
two Houses on the amendments of the
Senate to the bill (H.R. 19590) making
appropriations for the Department of
Defense for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1971, and for other purposes.
I ask unanimous consent for the pres-
ent consideration of the report.
The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. FAN-
N1N). Is there objection to the present
consideration of the report?
(For conference report, see House pro-
ceedings of today.)
Mr. ELLENDER. Mr. President, this
conference report represents the efforts
of the second committee of conference to
resolve the differences between the two
Houses with respect to the Department
of Defense appropriation bill for fiscal
year 1971. The first conference report was
tabled on my motion earlier today, and
the second committee of conference met
in two sessions today to resolve the mat-
ters in the first conference report that
were opposed by a number of Members of
the Senate. I will comment on these
points in detail during the course of my
introductory remarks.
Earlier today, there was a full debate
on the issues involved in the new lan-
guage adopted in our second conference,
and I will not take the time of the Sen-
ate to again discuss the issues involved.
The committee of ?conference agreed
S 21371
on appropriations totaling $66,595,937,-
000, which is-
Under the budget estimates of $68,-
745,666,000 by $2,149,729,000;
Over the Senate bill of $66,417,077,000
by $178,860,000; and
Under the House bill of $66,806,561,-
000 by $210,624,000.
As this bill passed the Senate, it repre-
sented a reduction of $389,484,000 in the
House-passed bill, and, as I have stated,
the committee of conference agreed to
increases in the Senate bill of only $178,-
860,000; so that the Senate conferees
maintained considerably more than half
of the Senate decrease.
The conference committees met on six
separate occasions, and these meetings
involved approximately 14 hours of de-
liberations. Just as the Senate conferees
were determined to maintain the position
of the Senate, so the House conferees
were determined to maintain the position
of the House, and the recommendations
of the conference committee represent
the honest efforts to compromise the dif-
ferences in the two versions of the bill.
I want to call attention to the fact
that the task of the Senate conferees was
extremely difficult in view of the letter
the Secretary of Defense sent to the con-
ference committee. In this letter, the
Secretary requested the conference com-
mittee to recommend appropriations to-
taling $67,209,100,000, which amount
would have been $402.6 million over the
House bill and $792 million over the Sen-
ate bill. I ask unanimous consent to have
printed in the RECORD at this point a
copy of the Secretary's letter, referred to
as Exhibit A.
There being no objection, the letter
was ordered to be printed in the RECORD,
as follows:
EXHIBIT A
THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE,
Washington, D.C.
Hon. RICHARD B. RUSSELL,
Chairman, Department of Defense Subcom-
mittee, Committee on Appropriations,
U.S. Senate.
DEAR MR. CHAIRMAN: We have. carefully
considered the actions of the House and Sen.
ate on the 1971 Defense Appropriation Bill
(H.R. 19590). The bill as it passed the House
would provide $66,906.6 million, a reduction
of $1,939.1 million from the request. The
Senate Bill would provide $66,417.1 million,
which is $389.5 million below the House
Bill and $2,328.6 million below our original
request. After reconsideration, and taking
into account the latest information avail-
able to us, we find that we require a mini-
mum of $67,209.1 million. This is $402.6 mil-
lion above the House Bill, $792 million above
the Senate Bill, and $1,536.6 million below
our January request.
I cannot emphasize too strongly that the
FY 1971 budget estimates we submitted in
January were rock bottom, the lowest
amounts consistent with our national secu-
rity needs. Adusted for pay and price in.
creases, that budget was about 20% (over
$17 billion) below FY 1968, the peak war
year. In the same constant dollars, the FY
1971 budget was about $5 billion (7%) above
the prewar FY 1964 level. Incremental war
costs in FY 1971 are more than twice $5
billion; baseline forces have been out sharply
from the FY 1964 level. Defense spending
comprised 34.6% of the FY 1971 Federal
budget total-the lowest percentage since
FY 1950. Defense spending as projected in
the FY 1971 budget would be 7% of the
gross national product-the lowest percent-

sonnel, removing most of the wartime build-
up. Defense-related employment in industry
will fall by over one million In the same
period, so, that the total manpower impact
of Defense cutbacks Is about two million
jobs. Outlays for procurement, construction
and RDT&E (war costs inCludid) as pro-
jected in the budget for FY 1971 were below
the lsrewar (FY 1964) level in constant dol-
lars. The' baseline force costs projected in
the FY 1971 budget (,:hat is, the total budget
less the Incremental cost of the war) me
the lowest since before the Korea buildup.
The same is true of baseline military man-
power,
Our sharply-reduced budget rmquest must
also be considered ir. terms of the national
security threats we face. The threat cer-
tainly has not lessened since 1364. As you
know, the Intervening years have been a
great exp.n5ion in Soviet strategic nuclear
capabiliti$s, an(; a massive buildup in their
naval forces. Soviet activities in the Middle
East and elsewhere are a source of increasing
concern; the invasion of Czechoslovakia has
served' to remind us of the reality of the
threat oil the Continent. The years since
1964 have also seen a steady growth in
the nuclear power of the Chinese 1'eop:.e's
Republic. It is threats such as these, and
the continuing needs of the war effort,
which we have had to balance against the
need for achieving a minimal budget in 'he
long-ran interests of the American economy,
The same weighing of threats and resource
requirements played a central role in the
evolution' of the Nixon Doctrine. Full sup-
port and implementation of thi; doctrine is
vital to the maintenance of adequate na-
tional security with minimal Defense
budgets; our 1971 requests repr?sent. a long
step in this direction. We need your und.er-
standing and full support as we move
through this transition. I especially ask that.
you consider the impact of 1971 budget ac-
tions upon the posture we must achieve for
the 1970's. Two key elements are moderni-
zation and thew maintenance of a strong
R&D effort; both of these are very much
involved in our appeal of some of the cuts
made In'the FY 1971 bill. The Nixon Doc-
trine will .continue to require a high level
of effort In these areas. Looking somewhat
ahead, it must be recognized that there
will be a' growing need for aid t o our allies,
offsetting some of the budgetary savings
from cutbacks in U.S. forces. Y n short, we
were fully aware of the need to present the
lowest possible Defense budget., consistent
with our national security needs. Cuts as
deep as those in the Bill as it stands can-
not be accommodated within otcr minimal
requirements for national securi';y.
In the eleven months since the estimates
were prepared, there have been many changes
involving specific estimates and items, fre-
quently Involving a decrease in the amount
necessary. The House and Senate took ac.
count of these items in appropriation actions,
and, as noted, we have accepted many of the
specific reductions. The changes, however,
work both ways, and It must b=e understocx:.
that many changes have caused Increases In
the amounts necessary. For example, th?:
change iii plans with respect to Southeast
Asia deployments which made I possible for
us to aecept sharp House cuts In Marine
Corps appropriations also produced an in-
crease in Army costs.
The Rouse added. $58.5 million In criti?.
cally-neaided funds for our Vietnainization
program, $23.9 million to cover increased Air
Force and Navy program needs, plus 8150
million added on the Floor to meet a park
of the mandatory operating increases tha;
were not foreseen when the estimates were
prepared. All of these items were deleted by
With the year :calf over, we do not even
have our regular bill, We cannot be optimis-
tic regarding action on a supplemental. Of
groal;er significance is the fact that Congres-
sional action on our estimates, which has
exteaded nearly one year since their prepa-
ration, has involved making reductions for
unfcreseen decreases in every case where they
were identified. Had our bill been enacted
earlier the unforeseen decreases would have
beer, available to meet the increases we now
face In short, we cannot operate the Defense
budget on a ratchet basis, eliminating all
decreases that materialize in 11 months and
failing to recognize any increases. It is essen-
tia 1 that the Senate Bill be Increased to cover
these mandatory increases which have ma-
teritilized since the estimates were prepard.
Our major areas of concern are covered in
the balance of this letter, with details en-
closed.
MILITARY PERSONNEL
We accept reductions of $250.2 million in
our original military personnel appropriation
requests. We request restoration of $93.3
million to the House Bill for permanent-
change-of-staticn travel, and of $4 million
to the Senate :Bill for the Air Guard and
Reserve Programs.
Ir. an action aimed at cutting costs and
prodding greater stability for military per-
sonnel, the House Bill reflects a reduction of
$95.2 million for permanent-change-of-sta-
tion travel. This was based upon a flat 10%
cut in the FY 1971 budget estimate, reduced
to T.5% in recognition of the fact that the
first three months of the year had passed.
I want to emphasize that we are in complete
agreement with the objectives of reducing
permanent-char.ge-of-station moves, and we
hav: taken many actions in this regard. in-
ceni;ives are offered to encourage personnel
to extend fours of duty in Vietnam, thereby
reducing the number of moves. The extended
early release program eliminates the need for
moves related to short-term assignments late
In a member's period of service. Assignments
to short term areas are now handled in such
a w sy as to minimize the movement between
training and overseas. CONUS vacancies are
filled, insofar as practicable, with overseas
returnees. The E'Y 1971 budget requests for
PC.; in the Array and Navy are about 14%
below the FY 1970 level, in spite of price
increases of about 5% (the new air trans-
por;atfon tax, and increased transportation
and storage charges). Allowing for this, the
FY 1971 program is about 20 % below FY 1970
on a comparable basis; it is this lower level
which the House proposes to cut.
The further sharp cuts proposed by the
House are clearly impractical at this time.
Tho House asimmed that the reductions
could take effect on October 1, 1970. Actu-
ally, the bulk of our moves were even then
programmed well into calendar 1971. This of
course is a necessity, in order to provide ade-
quate notice to the members tinvolved, in
addition to operational reasons. At this late
date, reductions could not take effect until
the last few months of the fiscal year. The
House, while apparently concerned with ro-
tat.onal travel, applied the cut to all
mo 7es-includi:ag accession and separation
travel, hardship moves, and moves to short-
tour areas such as Vietnam. Nearly half of
the Army's FY 1971 estimate is for moves
related to Southeast Asia, In practice, then,
a cut would have to he applied to a rela-
tively small share of the total moves in the
Ins,; few months of the year, and would cre-
ate extreme uncertainty and hardships.
Th 3r'e is already a great deaf of turbulence
in military manpower programs due to the
large strength cutbacks and major redeploy-
ments now underway. Such conditions pro-
duce a great deal of unpredictability, and
the need for more moves t:Iat would be nec-
essary in a stable situation. In the face of
this, as I: have noted, we have already pro-
jected a drop of nearly 20"' (in constant dol-
lars) in Army and Navy nioves for FY 1971.
Under the circumstances, the further sharp
cut reflected in the House Bill simply can-
not be accommodated in this area. I must
urge restoration of $9$.3 million of this re-
duction, to provide the amounts approved by
the Senate for the four appropriations in-
volved.
The Senate made reductions of $2 million
each- in the personnel appropriations for the
Air Force Reserve and the Air National Guard
based on "historical overstatement of re-
quirements." The enclosures make clear that
the present requirements are not overstated
and that the Senate amount would force a
cutback in Reserve on-board strength and in
Air Guard pilots. In light of the increasing
importance of these Guard and Reserve
forces to our overall readiness posture, such
developments would be deplorable. These
cuts, amounting to a to-.al of $4,.million.
should be restored to the Senate Bill.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Our current request for operation and.
maintenance is $122.4 million below the esti-
mates originally submitted to the Congress.
This is the net of $300.4 million in specific
reductions, reflected in both Bills and ac-
cepted by the Department. partially offset by
$177.9 million for cost increases not fore-
seen when the budget ee+imates were sub-
mitted at the start of the year.
Restoration to the Senate Bill. We request
an increase of $177.9 million to the Sen-
ate Bill, to provide:
$150 million ($50 million each for the
Army, Navy and Air Forced ? which was added
on the House Floor to cover part of the very
large mandatory increases that have occurred
In on-going programs.
$23.9 million to cover ',he costs of 5 Air
Force Reserve squadrons equipped with C--
130 aircraft.
$4 million for Deep Freese.
$35 thousand for the promotion of rifle
practice.
It must be emphasized that the $150 mil-
lion added on the House Floor is not re-
quired for "new programs," but to cover .3
part of the mandatory cost increases in on-
going programs. These increased costs cover
such items as (1) transportation rate in-
creases (-1$63.4 million), (2) activity and
deployment changes relai:ed to South Viet-
nam (-1-$73.5 million), (2) slippage in RED-
COSTE implementation (4$39.3 million),
(4) increased operations i+nd readiness of the
Sixth and Seventh Fleets (1 51.4 million),
(5) Increased civilian personnel costs due to
average salary increases (4 $78.6 million),
(6) other rate and cost changes (-1-11.4 mil-
lion); for a total mandatory cost increase
in Operation and Maintenance accounts of
$320.6 million. These costs must be absorbed
within available funds, making restoration of
the $160.0 million ($50 million each for
Army, Navy and Air Force) to the Senate
Bill an absolute necessity.
In the development of the President's
Budget, plans were included to retire 5 C-119
Air Force Reserve Squadrons. It has been
subsequently determined that these Reserve
Squadrons are required and should be re-
tained and equipped with C-130 aircraft.
The C-130 aircraft are :now available for
equipping these units, bit $23.9 million is re,
quired under "Operation: and Maintenance,
Air Force" to cover operating costs during
FY 1971. I urge restoration of $23.9 million
to the Senate Bill to meet this important
requirement.
The President's FY 1971 budget request
contained $4.4 million in O&M, Navy for
logistic support of the DEEP FREEZE sci-
entific effort. This request was about $4 mil-
lion less than prior years and In line with

December 29, 1970 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - SENATE
the House Committee's guidance in FY 1970
that the Navy commence phasing out its
funding support of this effort. The effect of
this reduction would have been to cancel
80% of the scientific effort in FY 1971. Sub-
sequently, the Antarctic Policy Group recom-
mended:
(a) That the program be maintained at
the current annual level.
(b) That the National Science Foundation,
commencing in FY 1972, budget for both the
scientific and supporting efforts, with the
support being provided on a mutually ac-
ceptable reimbursable or non-reimbursable
basis.
(c) That other aspects of program man-
agement and safety of operations remain as
heretofore set forth in Office of Management
and Budget Circular A-51 of August 3, 1960.
The National Security Council endorsed
this course of action and the Chairman of
the Senate and House Appropriations Com-
mittees were informed on July 10, 1970 by the
Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Financial
Management. The House Bill includes the
extra $4 million required, and I urge addi-
tion of this amount to the Senate Bill.
As detailed in the enclosures, the Director
of Civilian Marksmanship has been unable
to accomplish assigned missions under pres-
ent funding levels, and the additional $35
thousand provided in the House Bill would
meet the highest priority requirements. I ask
that $35 thousand be restored to the Senate
for this program.
Restoration to the House Bill. We ask that
$26 million be restored to the House Bill in-
volving specific cuts which were restored by
the Senate. This includes:
$9.7 million for the Army--$8 million to
restore part of the cut for automatic data
processing, where the House cut presupposed
a higher level of rental savings than has ac-
tually materialized, and $1,676,000 for civilian
manpower, to avoid duplicating the very
sharp cuts otherwise being made.
$7.5 million for the Navv-$7 million to
provide for continuing with the 15% di-
rected cut in headquarters staffs, but avoid-
ing duplicate budget cutting actions, and
$500,000 for implementation of the joint uni-
form military pay system, a much-needed re-
form.
$2.8 million for the Marine Corps to avoid
duplication in civilian personnel and head-
quarters cuts, similar to the situation out-
lined for the Navy.
$6 million for the Air National Guard. The
decrease in flying hours mentioned in the
House Report was recognized in the budget
estimates, but higher fuel costs nonetheless
resulted from a change in force mix. In ad-
dition to this, there have been sharp further
increases in operating costs. Unless the
House cut is restored, it will be necessary to
make a sharp cut in flying hours, thereby de-
grading combat readiness.
Logistics Management Institute (LMI).
The House Report stated that "the Commit-
tee is of the firm opinion that the use of the
Logistics Management Institute should be
cut back immediately and the contract even-
tually terminated." (Page-46, House Report
91-1570). The Senate Report makes no ref-
erence to LMI. Studies and recommendations
made by the LMI have resulted in very sub-
stantial savings that are fully documented.
The studies have also significantly, improved
the effectiveness and efficiency of Defense
logistics operations. At a time when,resources
available for our Defense requirements .are
being so drastically reduced, it is more )in-
portant than ever that increased emphasis
be given to the identificztion o;
portu-
,,.
p
p
nities for improvement in the management
of the logistic resources that remain avail-
able. It is requested that the Conferees spe-
cifically address this matter, approving con-
til uatlon of ,the LMI effort at an effective
level.
Senior Advisers in Vietnam. Outstanding
S 21373
Army personnel are selected to serve as senior $16.1 million for 4 other systems, including
advisers to province and district officials in $5.8 million for NIKE HERCULES modifica-
Vietnam. These personnel play a vital role tions; $1.1 million for repair parts and sup-
in the Vietnamization effort, and every effort port vehicles; $4 million for field artillery
is made to persuade them to volunteer for radar (RATAC) ; and $5.2 million for landing
involved in such duty in forward areas. A
family leave plan is offered, as an incentive
to such personnel. The House and Senate
Bill would provide for this program in differ-
ent ways. The appropriation language in the
House Bill provides a limitation of $4 mil-
lion for emergencies and extraordinary ex-
penses, within which $366,000 for the senior
adviser program could be accommodated.
The Senate Bill provides a limitation of
$3,634,000 for emergencies and extraordinary
expenses, $366,000 less than the House Bill,
but would cover this program in a new clause
added to general provision 807. Either version
is acceptable to the Department, since either
would provide for the continuation of this
essential activity. If the Senate version is
adopted, we will, in consonance with the
Senate Report, submit a legislative proposal
early in the next Session of the Congress,
PROCUREMENT
We request appropriations of $16,419.3
million for procurement. This is $175.5 mil-
lion above the House Bill, $449.2 million
above the Senate Bill, and a net of $939.3
million below our request as submitted in
January. This is the net of $1,356.8 million
in reductions which we accept, offset in part
by $417.5 million added by the House for
shipbuilding.
Army procurement. We request $2,931.7
million, which is $1.4 million below the House
Bill and $1.7 million above the Senate Bill.
We ask that the House Bill be increased
by $147.2 million to restore specific reduc-
tions, and decreased by $148.6 million to re-
flect other reductions made by the Senate, for
a net reduction of $1.4 million. The increases
include:
$34.9 million for the LANCE missile (in-
cluding spares and modifications), apparent-
ly deleted by the House on the basis of a
misunderstanding of the technical status of
this program. We request full restoration, for
reasons set forth in a classified enclosure.
$20 million for the Land Combat Support
System (including spares) needed to provide
adequate support for the SHERIDAN/SHIL-
LELAGH and TOW missile systems. This is
the only equipment now available for main-
tenance support of these systems. The House
action, if sustained, would lead to a costly
break in production.
$2B.8 million for the XM 705 11/4 ton truck.
The House action was based on the observa-
tion that the XM 705 may be "excessively
overengineered and gold plated," and that
the upcoming evaluation of the XM 715 may
prove the latter vehicle to be superior. The
XM 705 is guaranteed and warranted to meet
the Army requirement. The FY 1971 funds
are required to fund the second year of the
XM 705 multi-year contract, or to pay ter-
mination charges and initiate procurement of
the modified 715 should evaluation results
warrant such a decision. Failure to provide

and serious breaks in support for Army and
other users of these vehicles.

craft. Details are enclosed.
We ask that $1.7 million be added to the

modifications. This will provide for improve-
ments that are essential to the performance
and reliability of the system.
"Procurement of Aircraft and Missiles,
Navy." We request restoration of $122.1 mil-
lion to the House Bill, to provide the $3,127.9
million reflected in the Senate Bill. This in-
cludes program increases of $222.1 million
above the House Bill, offset by a $100 million
transfer from the stock fund reflected in the
Senate Bill. The program increases include:
$40 million for the A-6E aircraft deleted
by the House, on the basis that the system is
subject to extensive further test and evalua-
tion ("fly before buy"). Actually, there are
only three basic subsystem changes to the
A-6A: radar, computer and armament control
unit. The first two have been proven in other
aircraft, and the armament control unit is a
low-risk item. Reduction of A--6E procure-
ment to 6, as in the House Bill, will cause
sharp increases in unit costs and other extra
costs because of actions already taken under
the Continuing Resolution. This $40 million
reduction should be restored.
$92.3 million for the E-2C aircraft. These
aircraft, in addition to the E-2Bs mentioned
in the House Report, are needed to meet
existing force level deficiencies for airborne
early warning aircraft. Beyond this, and con-
trary to the statement in the House Report,
the E-2C cutback would cause plant loading
problems and result in higher costs.
$43.3 million House reduction for Avionics
shop test equipment for the S-3A, F-14A and
E-2C aircraft. If these funds are not re-
stored it will be necessary to stop production
on this equipment, with re-start costs esti-
mated at $13 million for FY 1972. It will be
necessary to invest in interim test equip-
ment for FY 1971 at a cost of $27 million.
Since the type of equipment is specified in
the aircraft contracts, this House cut could
result in delay claims. All three aircraft
would be delayed. Unless these funds are
restored, the FY 1972 requirement would be
$92.1 million, with additional FY 1971 re-
quirements of $27 million-not including
claims. The Deputy Secretary of Defense is
personally monitoring this program, to assure
that only essential test equipment is pur-
chased. I urge restoration of this $43.4
million.
$32.2 million for the AV-8A Harrier, added
by the Senate to permit the maximum
amount of production effort in the United
States.
$14.2 million for aircraft spares, associated
with the restoration of funds for the A-6E
and E-2C.
"Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy." As
Secretary of Defense, I have consistently
emphasized the priority requirements for
fleet modernization and have stated that the
shipbuilding increase of $435.0 million in-
cluded in the Authorization Bill represents
the highest priority requirements after those
included in the President's Budget request.

Mr. ELLENDER. Mr. :President, the
conference agreement includes $18 mil-
lion for the continuation of the develop-
merit of this aircraft, which amount
along with $28 million made available in
fiscal year 1970 will provide $46 million,
which is adequate to maintain the Air
Force's scheduled program. I want to
make it clear that the action of the com-
mittee of conference doe;; not constitute
a full production decision on this air-
craft. I,t was the intent of the conferees
to provide adequate funds to continue the
development program, which includes
five test aircraft, and to provide $8.8 nlil-
lion for long leadtimc items to support
the production of this aircraft in :,cal

the Congress.
sE;cTnoN 838-SUPPORT OF YREE WORLD FORCES
The Serrate amended section 838 of
the bill dealing with funds for the sup-
port of free world forces to include the
following provision which was included
in section 502 of the Department of De-
fense Procurement and Research and
Development Authorization Act:
Provided further, That nothing in clause
(1) of the first sentence of this subsection
shall be construed as authorizing the use of
any such. funds to support Vietnamese or
other free world force:: in actions designed
to provide military support and assistance
to the Government of Cambodia or Laos.
The House conferees ,trongly opposed
this provision on the ground that it tied
the hands of the President in his efforts
to bring about a withdrawal of U.S.
forces from Southeast Asia. However?
they finally agreed to accept this amend-
ment if the following provision were in-
eluded, which is applicable to all of sec-
tion 838:
Provided further, That nothing contained
in this section shall be construed to pro-
hibit support of free wc.il.d or local force::
in actions designed to promote the safe and
orderly withdrawal or dzs ngagement of U.S.
Forces from Southeast A is or to aid in the
release of Americans held as prisoners of
war.
The Senate conferees accepted this
proposal.

interpret this proviso as the authority
for a large-scale invasion, by South Viet-

North Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, or any
other country, and I am confident it will
not be so interpreted.
Throughout the consideration of this
bill, and especially with respect to the.
$21/2 billion that is authorized for the
support of free world forces, it has been
my position that these funds were to be
used in order to restrict the scope of the
present conflict in Southeast Asia, and
I know of no possible way to place an
interpretation on these various provisions
that would justify an expansion of this
conflict.
SECTION 843-INTRODUCTION OF AMERICAN
GROUND FORCES INTO LAOS, THAILAND, AND

The House-passed bill included section
843, which read as follows:

CONGRESSIONAL. RECORD -SENATE
This has been done with the President's
expressed goals for environmental improve-
ment and the problems of agricultural pollu-
tion in mind. We are hopeful that this effort
to redirect ACP will result in a much higher
priority for this program.
The comments in your letter to the Pres-
ident concerning probable future legisla-
tion dealing with agricultural sources of
pollution are especially noteworthy and
timely. This Department is vitally concerned
with environmental problems associated with
agriculture and is actively working toward
solutions in several fields. It would certainly
seem appropriate to consider the adaptation
of accepted and workable programs-such as
ACP to assist with the overall Department
effort in helping to solve environmental
problems in the rural areas.
Your views on this matter are very much
appreciated as well as your support for the
ACP.
CLIFFORD M. HARDIN,
Secretary.
Hon. CLIFFORD M. HARDIN,
Secretary of Agriculture,
Washington, D.C.
DEAR MR, SECRETARY: I hav,
my years of services as a memb
Senate Committee on Agricultur
and for the country. I believe it ca:
new challenges and 'will be needed
years ahead.
While I know you are familiar with t1
and in the country, I would like to direct
my comments to two or three point which I
believe ought to be considered at this time:
I recall that opposition to the ACP devel-
oped in the Bureau of the Budget years ago,
there it was argued that the conservation
Xactices Increased soil fertility and even-
could also be-use. 0 to a e against the
work of the County Agent and the
'.,,'e conservation measures, 'includin'g
dozens of., conservation practices serving
specific needs, and can now be adopted to
meet mgre recently recognized problems. For
example, you are to be commended for level=
dping the new practices encouraging the
abatement of agricultural-source 'pollution.
;}ow serve as the ranking ftepublicsu
member of' the Senate Public works corn-
mittee, which has legislative jurisdiotion
over water and air pollution control, ' and
solid waste' disposal, I am sure that'agricul-
tilral sources of pollution will require in-
creasing attention next year and in the ?ears
to follow. With the ACP, a program is al-
ready at hand which can be of Feat value. If
it is ended or sharply curtailed, some new
and untried program to deal with farni
sources of pollution will have to be de-
veloped-and there is often much waste of
time and funds in establisl ing new
programs.
Secoad, for years there has been a growing
cpneerxo abo~ t, a z''a porgrams which result
in large payments to a small number of large
farm operations. Now we are moving to place
a limit on crop payments. But beneficiaries
of the ACP have always been widely spread,
the ACP has had a limit of $2$00 per farm.
and the average payment is about $200-$173
in Kentucky. With the possible exception of
the County Agent system, I know of no pro-
gram which better lends itself to support for
the family farm and smaller operations, and
which in fact has provided such broadly dis-
tributed benefits. Further, there is a clear
national benefit in saving the hillsides, in
renewing our soil and, as we are especially
aware today, in protecting clean water from
the beginning-where the raindrop falls.
Finally, it seems to me that the technical
assistance offered by Soil Conservation Serv-
ice *ould be less effective-especially on
small family farms-without the possibility
of cost sharing for specific practices.
I should think it an anomaly indeed, when
there is so much talk and concern about
ecology and the environment, if an estab-
lished program which not only has helped
farmers but which has resulted in restoring
natural beauty and enhancing the environ-
ment, should be abandoned or reduced.
- I hope very much that funds may soon be
released so that the 1971 ACP programs can
be promptly announced, and farmers may
enter their requests for participation.
With kind regards, I am
Yours sincerely,
JOHN SHERMAN COOPER.
NNEDY. Mr. President, I sug-
T e MMM' OFFICER (Mr. BYRD
of Virginia). The hour of 12 o'clock hav-
ing arrived, the Chair now lays before
the Senate the unfinished business, which
the clerk will state.
The legislative clerk read as follows:
Making appropriations for the
ren of Defense for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1971, and for other purposes.
The Senate proceeded to consider the
bill.
Mr. ELLENDER. Mr. President, I sug-
gest the absence of a quorum.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk
will call the roll.
The legislative clerk proceeded to call
the roll.
Mr. ELLENDER. Mr. President, I ask
unanimous consent that the order for the
quorum call be rescinded.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without
objection, it is so ordered.
Mr. ELLENDER. Mr. President, it is
again my privilege to present to the
Senate the Department of Defense ap-
propriation bill at the request of the
chairman of the Committee on Appro-
priations and the Department of Defense
Subcommittee, the distinguished senior
Senator from Georgia (Mr. RusSELL).
The committee considered budget re-
quests totaling $68,745,666,000 for the
various programs of the Department of
Defense, excluding military construction,
family housing, civil defense, and regular
military assistance. This amount is ap-
proximately 46 percent of the total fiscal
year 1971 budget requests of $148.1 bil-
lion that have to be considered by
Congress.
The committee recommends appro-
priations totaling $66,417,077,000 which
S 19631
are-under the budget estimates by
$2,328,589,000-under the House bill by
$389,484,000-and under fiscal year 1970
appropriations by $6,249,955,144.
However, I want to call attention to
the fact that additional funds in the
amount of approximately $1.6 billion will
be required during this fiscal year for
pay increases for civilian and military
personnel that are already in effect.
These additional funds will be included
in the second supplemental appropria-
tion bill for fiscal year 1971 that will be
considered early in the next session.
When this additional requirement of
$1.6 billion is considered, a galore valid
comparison with the fiscal year 1970 ap-
propriation is a reduction of approxi-
mately $4.6 billion.
I am quite sure that many Members
of the Senate are surprised that the most
recent 6-percent general pay increase
will require an additional $1.6 billion for
the military and civilian personnel of the
Department of Defense. It will be re-
called that when this matter was con-
sidered by the Senate in connection with
the increase for postal employees, I tried
to make clear what the total cost would
be. If the Congress really wants to help
the President in his fight against infla-
tion, we have to stop granting these large
pay increases for military and civilian
personnel as well as employees on the
legislative branch of our Government.
How can we expect labor and industry
to respond to pleas to hold costs down
while we go on granting these annual
increases?
For the period from fiscal year 1964
to the present, Congress granted in-
creases of 65.3 percent for basic military
pay and 43.6 percent for classified em-
ployees. During this same period, the
Department of Commerce's noncompen-
sation component of its index of Federal
purchase of goods and services increased
only 20.6 percent. I ask unanimous con-
sent to have printed in the RECORD at
this point two tabulations prepared at
my request by the Department of De-
fense entitled "Pay and Price Increases
Since Fiscal Year 1964" and "Military
and Classified Civilian Pay Raises Since
Fiscal Year 1964."
There being no objection, the tabula-
tions were ordered to be printed in the
RECORD, as follows:

Mr. ELLENDER. Mr. President, I do
not intend to take time to, explain the
recommendations of the committee with
respect to each appropriation in the bill.
These recommendations are explained in
detail in the committee's report.
I do want to call attention to the five
volumes of hearings on the budget re-
quests that total over 4,590?pages. Each
of the programs and items included in
the budget request are discussed in de-
tai in these hearings.
f the total amguntt reeolnmex~cled by
the committee, approximately? 60, per-
cent-$39,990,246,000-is for the "Mili-
tary Personnel" and "Operation and
Maintenance" titles of the bill. These
funds are required for the support of the
active duty and reserve military forces,
and for the most part, the level of these
appropriations is determined by the
strength of the active duty forces. The
committee's recommendations are based
on the fiscal year 1971 budgeted active
duty military end-strength of $2,908,100
which includes:
Army ------------------------- $1,239,600
Navy -------------------------- 643,800
Marine Corps___________________ 241,200
Air Force______________________ 783,500
Title III of the bill includes the budget
request of $3,194,000,000 for "Military
Retired Pay." The number of individuals
on the retired rolls and the amount they
receive is determined by law, and Con-
gress must provide the funds. I call at-
tention to the rate of increase in this
appropriation. For fiscal year 1965, $1,-
339,000,000 was required, and, as I have
stated, the requirement for fiscal year
1971 is $3,194,000,000. The projection for
fiscal year 1975 based on the current
rates for retired pay of $4.1 billion, and
the projection for fiscal year 1980 is $4.9
billion. _
The committee's recommendations in-
clude appropriations totaling $15,970,-
110,000 for the various procurement ap-
propriations included in title IV of the
bill. The committee's recommendation
for each of these appropriations is ex-
plained in detail in the report.
For the research, development, test,
and evaluation title, the recommenda-
tions of the committee total $6,960,100,-
000, and these recommendations are also
explained in detail in the report.
Rather than go into the details of the
committee's recommendations for the
various procurement and research, de-
velopment, test, and evaluation appro-
priations, I intend to comment on sev-
eral of the major programs for which
funds are recommended.

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - SENATE December 8, 1970
The total recommended for the various
research, development, test, and evalu-
ation appropriations Is below the
budget requests by $385,500,000; below
the fiscal year 1970 appropriations by
$446, 648,694; and over the House allow-
ances by $5,400,000.
The increase of $5,400,000 over the
House allowance is the net of recom-
mended increases in budget, programs
disallowed by the other body totaling
$107,800,000 and recommended addi-
tional reductions in budgeted programs
totaling $102,400,000, which are based
on a recent review of requirements and
involve reductions in more than 100proj-
ects. I ask unanimous consent to have
included in the REconn at this point a
tabulation listing each of the projects
involved in the increases and decreases
recomini?pded by tie committee.
There being no objection, the tabula-
tion was ordered to be printed in the

POLARIS-TO-POSEIDON CONVERSION PROGRAM
Mr. ELLENDER. Mr. President the
recommendations of the committee in-
clude $921.6 million for the continuation
of the program to convert 31 oaf the exist-
ing 41 Polaris submarines to Poseidon-
carrying submarines.
I wish to state in passing that early
next year two of these conversions will
be completed, and moneys have been
provided to fund six more.
I wish to state further that when
selections of the submarines are made,
they are usually programed when it is
time to change the nuclear core. :By
coinciding these two actions, the costs
of the program are diminished.
This program is discussed on page 32

AIR FORCE'S F-11IF TACTICAL AIRCRAFT
Mr. ELLENDER, Mr. President, the
recommendations of the committee in-
elude $52.7 million for the Air- Force
F-111F tactical aircraft procuement
program. The funds recommended pro-
vide for the completion of currently ap-
proved Department of Defense procure-
ment plans for this aircraft. This pro-
gram is discussed on pages 39-41 of the
committee's report, and I ask unanimous
consent that these comments be included
in the RECORD at this point.
There being no objection, the com-
ments were ordered to be printed, in the
RECORD, as follows:
AIR FORCE PROGRAMS
F-111D/F TACTICAL FIGHTER AIRCRAFT
The recommendations of the committee
include $562.7 million for the F-111D/F tac-
tical fighter aircraft program. The F-111F
is the latest model in a series of swing-wing
F-111 tactical fighters. Like its F-111D pred-
ecessor, it will have the capability to operate
from bases at extended range from its targets,
to penetrate sophisticated defenses and to
carry out attacks at night in all weather. The
F model differs from the F-111D only in its
engine and its avionics system. It is equipped
with the new P-100 engine, which provides
a 25-percent increase in thrust over the older
model. Its avionics package `is expected to be
less costly than the Mark II system planned
for the D model but will retain similar-nayi-
gation capabilities and enable comparable
air-to-ground attack performance against
fixed targets.
In discussing the planned fiscal year 1971
procurement of the F-111 tactical aircraft,
the Secretary of Defense stated:
"I am sure that the committee shares my
long-standing concern over the F-111 pro-
gram, particularly in light of the difficulties
that have been encountered, For the time
being, we have retained in the budget request
the planned funding for the F-111's noted
above. However, I have asked the Secretary
of the Air Force, in connection with an in-
vestigation of recent' structural and, opera-
tional difficulties, to examine in detail the
alternatives to procuring F-111's in fiscal
year 1971. I have postponed a final decision
on this matter until this action is com-
pleted by the Air Force."
On September 17, 1970, the Deputy Secre-
tary of Defense advised the Congress:
"The Air Force has now progressed suf l-
ciently through the test program to permit
me to conclude from the results obtained
that the F-111 fleet will be structurally
sound, and that it will indeed perform its
intended missions, * * * Accordingly, I have
approved the program for the procurement of
remanning F-111's in fiscal year 1971."
F/FS-111 Recovery Program.-A major ac-
cident on December 22, 1969, resulted in the
grounding of all F-111 series aircraft. Follow..
Ing a comprehensive review of the F-ill pri-
mary structure by an Air Force/industry
team and a special ad hoc committee of the
Air Force Scientific Advisory Board, the
"F-111/FB-111 recovery program" was for-
inulated. Phase I of the recovery program was
started ilti April of 1970 and includes the
following sequential. phases:
Nondestruct inspecction.-Provides for the
nondestructive inspection of 11 of the 15
primary forgings and the incorporation of
several engineering changes."
Cold proof test.-Each aircraft is subjected
to a series of positive and negative gravity
loads up to and including design limits at
-40?. This test is designed to stress all pri-
mary forgings to 100 percent to assure that
the four forgings not covered by the non-
destruct Inspection are structurally sound.
Field operations and functional check
flight.-Includes final reassembly, extensive
systems checkout, functional check flight
and preparation for delivery to the Air Force.
Acceptance.-Includes final Air Force ac-
ceptance inspection and flight check prior to
delivery to the using command.
A total of 344 aircraft (inventory and pro-
duction) are schedule to be processed
through the recovery program. As of Novem-
ber 19, 1970, 228 aircraft have been processed
successfully through the cold proof test, and
there has been one failure. 146 aircraft have
been returned to the'Users. According to the
current schedule, the cold proof test phase
of the Recovery Program will be completed in
early April 1971.
Phase I1 Of the program is now being de-
fined and will include refined nondestructive
inspection techniques and establishment of
'final inspection intervals.
It is estimated that the recovery program
.will cost approximately $35 million.
Section 503, Public Law 91-441.-Section
503, of the Department of Defense Procure-
ment and Research and Development Au-
thorization Act, 1971 (Public Law 91-441)
provides that no funds shall be obligated for
the procurement of F-111 aircraft unless the
Secretary of Defense has determined that the
aircraft has been subjected to and success-
fully completed a comprehensive structural
Integrity test program, and approved a pro-
gram for the procurement of such aircraft.
This provision reads as follows:
"SEC. 503. Of the total amount authorized
to. be appropriated by this Act for the pro-
curement of the-F-111 aircraft, $283,000,000
of such amount may not be obligated or ex-
pended for the procurement of such aircraft
until and unless the Secretary of Defense
,has (1) determined that the F-111 aircraft
has been subjected to and successfully com-
pleted a comprehensive structural integrity
test program, (2) approved a program for the
procurement of such aircraft, and (3) certi-
fied in a written report to the Committees
on Armed Services of the Senate and the
House of Representatives that he has made
.such a determination and approved such a
program, and has included in such written
report the basis for making such determina-
tion and approving such program."
On September 17, 1970, the Deputy Secre-
tary of Defense advised the Chairman of the
Committee on Armed Services of the Sen-
ate-
"a. 'The Air Force has now progressed
sufficiently through the test program to per-
mit me to conclude from the results ob-
tained that the F-111 fleet will be structur-
ally sound, and that it will indeed perform
its intended mission.' and
"b; 'Accordingly, I have approved the pro-
gram for the procurement for the remaining
F-111's in FY 1971.' "
The total recommended includes funds for
the following purposes: Procurement of air-
craft, $283 million; prior year overtarget
costs, $200.5 million; procurement of air-
craft spares and repair parts, $31.6 million;
and research and development, $48.2 million.
'Each of these is discussed below.
Procurement of aircraft.-$283 million is
recommended, for the procurement of F-1 11F
aircraft and the recovery program. The sum
recommended and the $60.9 million for ad-
vanced procurement provided in fiscal year
1970, will provide a -total of $343.9 million. As
presented in the budget request, the total of
$343.9 million was to cover the cost of the
F-111 recovery program and the procure-
ment of up to 40 F-111F aircraft. However,
the committee's recommendation is based on
the use of approximately $35 million for the
F-111 recovery program and the procure-
ment of 24 F--111F aircraft. It is anticipated
that the funds recommended will provide an
adequate number of aircraft to equip the
planned fourth wing, which will complete
the planned F-111 production program.
These funds are included in the committee's
recommendation for the appropriation en-
titled, "Procurement of aircraft, Air Force."
Prior year overtarget costs.-$200.5 million
is recommended to cover overtarget costs for
F-111 aircraft funded in fiscal year 1969 and
prior years. These aircraft were funded based
on target costs, and the additional funds are
required to cover the Government's obligation
in additional costs up to contract ceiling
costs. These funds are included in the com-
mittee's recommendation for the appropria-
tion entitled "Procurement of aircraft, Air
Force."
Procurement of aircraft spares and repair
parts.-$31 million is recommended for the
procurement of initial aircraft spares and
repair parts to support F-111F aircraft. These
funds are included in the committee's rec-
ommendation for the appropriation entitled
"Procurement of Aircraft, Air Force."
Research and development.-The commit-
tee's recommendation for the appropriation
entitled "Research, development, test, and
evaluation, Air Force," includes $48.2 million
for the continuation of the development and
testing program for the F-111 aircraft.
The F-111 program is discussed on pages
283-290, 338-339, 414-420, 589-590, and 726-
728 of part 4 of the committee's hearings on
the Department of Defense appropriations
bill, 1971.
C-5A STRATEGIC AIRLIFT AIRCRAFT
Mr. ELLENDER. Mr. President, $622.2
million is included in the committee's
recommendations for the C-5A stra-
tegic airlift aircraft, including $200 mil-
lion for program contingencies. The
committee's recommendations are in ac-
cord with and subject to the provisions
of the Department of Defense Procure-
ment and Research and Development
Authorization Act. This program is dis-
cussed on pages 41-44 of the commit-
tee's report, and I ask unanimous con-
sent that these comments be included in
the RECORD at this point.
There being no objection, the com-
ments were ordered to be printed in the
RECORD, as follows:
C-5A STRATEGIC AIRLIFT AIRCRAFT
The recommendations of the committee
include $622.2 million for the C-5A strategic
airlift aircraft program. The C-5A is the
largest aircraft ever built and has a basic
mission payload of 100,000 pounds for a 5,560
nautical mile mission, a maximum speed of
470 knots, a ceiling of 43,500 feet and a ferry
range of 7,200 miles.
The C-5A aircraft was designed for the
specific role of carrying outsized (very large)
equipment of the Army's combat divisions
that no other aircraft can transport, such
as tanks, self-propelled guns, and other
equipment of mechanized and armored di-
visions. It is this capability used, along with
other airlift aircraft (C-130:s and C-141's)
that will enable the United States to meet
its milttary commitments through the rapid
deployment of forces from a strong strategic
reserve stationed in the United States. In

tee an Armed Services, U.S. Senate, hearings
on Authorization for Military Procurement,
Research and Development, it cal Year 1971,
and Reserve Strength, pt. 3, 24:!1.)
The recommendations of the committee
are based on a C-5. buy of 81 aircraft (four
squadrons) rather than t',le originaly
planned force of 124) aircraft (s..x squadrons).
This force of 81 aircraft 1ncludcs five research
and development aircraft and 76 producticn
aircraft
The funds recommnended are.`or the foalovr-
ing purposes; funding for prior year deficieri-
cies, $344.4 million; contingencies, $200 mil-
lion; procurement of aircraft spares and re-
pair parts, $86.2 rrtlilion; and research and
developmmt, $11.6 million. Each of these is
discussed below.
Fznding for prior year deficiencies.-$344.4
million is recommended to cover fusvdlrg
defietennie for the76 aircraft funded in prior
fiscal years. Under the Air Fc?ce's interprc-
tation of the contracts, it is estimated that
the production cost of these 73 aircraft will
total approximately $2,480 million. Through
fiscal year 1970, approximately $2,033 million
has been made available to cover these costs,
leaving a balance of $427 million. The cons-
mittee C ommends the allows.nce of $344.4
million to cover the major part of this, de-
ficiency and calls attention to the fact that
the balance of approximately $,42 milliorL will
have to be funded In fiscal year 1972. The
funds for fiscal year 1971 are Included in the
committee's recommendation for the appro-
priation entitled, "Procuresneitt of aircraft,
Air Force."
Coestinyenefes.---$200 mtllio,i is recolr-
mended for "Contingencies" to assure the
continuation of prdda.etion of the C-5A aii-
craft. Of the $344.4 million recommended to
cover prior year deficiencies (discussed in
the paragraph above), appros:imately $296
million is for the Lockheed Aircraft Corp. It
is estimated that this amount would be ad?-
quate to assure the productior of C-SA air-
craft through December of :his calendar
year, at which time about 30 aircraft will
have been delivered to the Air Force. The
financial position of the Lockheed Co. '.s
such that the Air Force must provide e,ddi-
tional funds to assure the ccntinued prc-
duction of C-5A's.
It is the view of the commi".,tee that it is
imperative to continue the, production of
these aircraft. This position is supported by
the fact that if production is allowed to
stop with the production of only 30 aircraft,
the cost per aircraft will` be approximately
$125 million, whereas if prods-ction is cop-
linued through fiscal year 19:1, 42 aircraft
will be produced'at a cost of )4 millions per
aircraft, and if the planned 81 aircraft are
produced the cost per aircraft will be ap-
proximately $56 million.
The committee desires to call attcntion to
the fact that there are a number of dis;utes
between the contractor and the Air Force
with respect to the Air Force's total liability
for the planned 81 aircraft. T ese differences
total some $400 to $500 million, and the
matter is now pending before the Armed
Services Board of Contract Appeals. Cr
ccurse, the recommended $200 million for
contingencies will he an offset against any
determination of the Board of Contract Ap-
pf als that is favorable to the Lockheed Corp.
The committee's recommendation is In
accord with the provisions of the Depart-
ment of Defense Procurement and Research
Authorization Act, 1971 (Public Law 91-
441), and th.a $200 million recommended
for "Contingencies" is subject to the lim-
itations imposed in section 504 of that act,
which reads as follows
SEc. 504. (a;, Of ths_- total amount author-
iz'sd to be appropriated by this act for the
procurement of the C--5A aircraft, $200,-

MINTTEMAN Mt5 SIE PROGRAM
Mr. I ?ENDER. itor. President, the
committee's recommendations include
$898.5 million for the continuation of the
development and deployment of the
Minuteman II and III systems, includ-
ing $29.4 million for the operational base
launch program. The Minuteman pro-
gram is discussed on pages 46-48 of the
committee's report, and I ask unanimous
consent that these remarks be included
in the REcoxn at_ this, point.
There being no objection, the pages
were ordered to be printed in the RECORD,
as follows:
MINUTEMAN Mrs.:OLE PROGRAM
The recommendations of the committee
include $898.5 million for the Minuteman
II and IT missile programs. The planned force
of 1,001) Minuteman missiles was attained in
April of 1967, with the deployment of 800
Minuteman I's and 200 Minuteman H's, and
the current plan calls for the replacement of
Minuteman I's with Minuteman II's and
III's. The current operation force includes
approximately 500 Minuteman Is, 500
Minuteman II's, and a limited number of
Minuteman DI's, which were initially de-
ployed in June of 1970. 'Lire lang-range plan
calls for a force of 500 Minuteman 11's and
500 Minuteman III's.
The Minuteman III provides a major im-
provement in capability over the Minuteman
I and II. It has an improved guidance and
control system, and its improved third stage
provides additional throw weight to carry
the MK-12 reentry system. The MK-12 sys-
tem with its multiple independently target-
able reentry vehicle (MiltV) and penetration
aid capability will greatly enhance the
Minuteman DI's effetctiveness against AB,M
defenses, and the number of warheads is in-
creased without increa,i.ng the number of
missiles in the force.
Included in the total recommended for ti:ie
Minuteman program is approximately $29.4
million for the support of the planned opera-
tional base launch program. The objectives
of this effort is to flight test the Minuteman
system from an operaticiial silo in order to
obtain as realistic a configuration and en-
vironment as possible. The first such test
calls for the firing of a Minuteman II mis-
sile from an operational silo in the Malrn-
strom Air Force Base, Mont., Minuteman
complex into the Pacific. The planned line
of flight would be acre:e the Northwestern
portion of the United States into the Pacific
Ocean area some 200 miles south of San
Francisco over a corridor encompassing the
least population density possible. It is the
view of the committee ti.cat these flight tests
should be conducted in order to demonstrate
the rehat?ility of the Minuteman system. :In
recommending funds for this program, the
committee calls attention to the fact that
three efforts to launch a modified Minute-
man II from an operaticnal silo all resulted
in failures.
The funds recommended are for the fol-
lowing purposes:
Procurement of missiics.--$447.2 million is

December, 8, 1970, CONGRESSIONAL RECORD -SENATE
ORD serves as the coordinator for Army par-
ticipation in this program.
(f) Speaker Requests. Over 800 requests
for Army speakers were processed from civic
clubs, church groups, veteran organizations,
professional clubs, etc., on a variety of sub-
jects.
(g) Bands. Army bands and musical units
are in great demand as evidenced by the
approximately 675 processed requets received
by this office during the first nine months of
FY 1970. Typical of these actions was a re-
quest from the Chairman of the Philadel-
phia Pulaski Day Parade through a Congres-
isonal office for, Army participation in the
October 5th Pulaski Day Parade in Philadel-
phia. The 173rd US Army Band from Fort
Dix, New Jersey, fulfilled that request. In ad-
dition CRD coordinated and scheduled the
United States Army Field Band and Chorus
for 250 performances before an estimated
600,000 persons during FY 1970.
(h) US Army Parachute Team. During the
first nine months of FY 1970, 109 parachute
demonstrations were coordinated and ar-
ranged for the Golden Knights parachute
team. Demonstrations were performed at
Bradenton, Florida at the reqeust of Florida
State authorities in connection with "De
Soto Week" (approximately 3500 spectators
viewed the demonstration) and Charleston,
South Carolina, at the request of the
Charleston Tricentennial Commission and
the South Carolina State Tricentennial Com=
mission (approximately 30,000 spectators, in-
cluding the Mayor of Charleston, viewed the
demonstration),
(i) Army participation in Public Events.
ORD responded to approximately :1000 re-
quests for participation by Army personnel
and equipment in civic-sponsored public
events. Such a request was received in Oc-
tober 1969, for the participation of an Army
color guard and firing squad for a Laconia,
New Hampshire, Veterans' Day flagpole dedi-
cation ceremony. Arrangements were made to
provide the requested support from Company
B, 368th Engineer Battalion, of the United
States Army Reserve stationed in Laconia.
(j) Veterans' Recognition. The American
people have a continuing interest in the wel-
fare and morale of American servicemen and
initiate many projects to show their concern
as evidenced by 150 requests received by CRD.
One such project was initiated by a citizens'
group in Gallup, New Mexico to honor a re-
turning serviceman, a representative of all
servicemen from the area, during the Christ-
mas season. CRD assisted in locating a serv-
iceman from the Gallup area who met the
requirements or the project and coordinated
this information through the interested Con-
gressional office,
(k) US Army Exhibit Unit. At the request
of civilian organizations and military recruit-
ing offices, 11 exhibits were shown in 228
cities before a total audience of 12.million

(1) In addition to the above, CRD serves
as point of contact between the 4rmy ele-
ments and the Office of the Assistant Secre-
tary of Defense (Public Affairs) in matters
relating to Army participation in activities
such as those described above. CRD also,
monitors Army Regulations dealing with
community relations.
(m) As the Army point of contact, CRD
forwards input provided by the Army staff
and the major commands to the Defense In-
dustry Bulletin which is published by the De-
fense Supply Agency, a Department of De-
fense agency.
(2) Command Information Division. Ac-
tivities of the Command Information Divi-
sion deal solely with internal information
and are discussed in paragraph 2, below,
(3)- Policy, Plans and Programs Division.
Policy, Plans and Programs Division's activi-
ties complemented those of community rela-
tions, public information, and command in-
formation. As the major planning and policy
office for OCINFO, activities of the division
involved developing, coordinating, and ad-
ministering plans and policies with other
OCINFO divisions, and agencies of the De-
partments of the Army and Defense. Actions
actually dealing with the external informa-
tion program are normally accomplished by
the Community Relations Division and the
Public Information Division as described in
paragraphs le(i), above and le(4), below.
(4) Public Information Division. The fol-
lowing are examples of Public Information
Division activities during FY 1970:
(a) Public Information Division responded
to approximately 13,450 media queries during
the period 1 July 1969 through 15 April 1970.
Additionally, some 14,000 other queries were
answered from private citizens and organiza-
tions, including coordination of responses to
Members of the Congress. These queries
ranged from very simple matters about the
Army, providing biographies, fact sheets re-
garding equipment, etc., to complex ques-
tions requiring extensive research and staff
coordination involving such matters as the
alleged My Lai incident, the Green Berets in-
cident, and the NCO Clubs investigation.
Among the public inquiries, many were re-
quests from high school and college students
seeking material and assistance in prepara-
tion of term papers, theses and other refer-
ence material, Under the Freedom of Infor-
mation Act, the Army has a mandate to be
responsive in making full disclosure with
minimum delay, consistent with national se-
curity, to requests for information from-the
media and the public.
During this period, coordination was ef-
fected on 48 Medal of Honor presentations,
etc., for press kits, and for response to the
media.
(b) Approximately 147 public releases were
cleared for issue by subordinate commands.
See sample at Inclosure 3. Some 150 other
releases were prepared and forwarded to the
Department of Defense for national release.
See sample at Inclosure 4. National an-
nouncements of approximately 660 contract
awards involving amounts of more than one
million dollars were made through the De-
partment of Defense. Arrangements were
made for approximately 185 interviews by
media representatives with members of the
Department of the Army staff, as well as tours
to subordinate installations by press repre-
sentatives.
Fifty newspapers from all parts of the
United States are screened on a daily basis
for analysis of information of special Army
interest.
f. No motion pictures are produced for the
external public. Motion pictures 'produced
in support of the internal information pro-
gram that are available to the public, upon
request, are discussed in paragraph 2g, below.
g. "The Army Hour" is a twenty-five min-
ute radio program of soldier interviews and
music. Last year, 52 programs were released
to approximately 1,232 commercial and edu-
cational radio stations in the United' States
and 285 American Forces radio stations,over-
seas, "Worldwide" is a five-minute radio pro-
gram of soldier interviews. Last year, 104 pro-
grams were released to approximately 1,058
commercial and educational radio stations
in the United States and 285 American Forces
radio stations overseas. During FY 1970,
through 31 March, the Army Hometown News
Center released 378,592 audiotapes, 1,353 tele-
vision film clips, and 1,658,000 printed re-
leases. This material, consisting of news of
local soldiers for use by their hometown
media, was furnished to 2,474 radio stations
and 546 television stations.
h. Copies of major commands' monthly re-
ports for non-local travel for external infor-
mation purposes, as required by paragraphs
27 and 28, AR 360-5, for the FY 1970 are at
S 19663
Inclosure 5. As examples, one staff officer was
sent to Fort Bragg, North Carolina and to
Korea on Operation Focus Retina. One staff
officer went to Miami, Florida, and Fort
Bragg, North Carolina, on the IX Conference
of American Armies. Two staff officers trav-
eled to Fort Benning, Georgia, and Fort Hood,
Texas, for liaison visits in connection with
press arrangements for the My Lai incident
courts-martial.
I. No "Speechmaker" publications were
produced in FY 1970.
J. The quarterly Command Information
reports which relate solely to the internal
information program are provided at In-
closure 6.
k. During FY 1970, about 350 senior speak-
ers (Lieutenant General and higher and As-
sistant Service Secretary and higher) were
provided in response to requests from civic,
service, veterans, and professional organiza-
tions.
2. With reference to the internal infor-
mation program of the Army:
a. The FY 1970 cost for operation of the
internal information program, including
military personnel costs, is estimated at $13,-
200,000. Costs estimated for FY 1971 are at
the same level as for PY 1970.
b. Because of the many duties performed
in addition to internal information, person-
nel accounting is in man-years of effort. It
is estimated that 1,141 military and 246 ci-
vilian man-years were used in FY 1970, on
internal information activities.
c. The purpose of the Army Pictorial Cen-
ter, located in Long Island City, New York,
is to provide pictorial and audiovisual serv-
ices for the Department of Defense, Depart-
ment of the Army, Army Materiel Command,
Continental Army Command, government
agencies, and other authorized activities;
and to maintain and operate the Army Mo-
tion Picture Depository and Army Motion
Picture Record Center. The operating cost
for FY 1970, is estimated at $10 million.
There are 750 persons assigned to the center,
and the workload is 250 motion picture proj-
ects. Only a small portion of its activity is
directly in support of the Army internal in-
formation program. Specifically, $727,000 was
budgeted for production of twenty-five Big
Picture films in FY 1970. (Latest figures
available indicate these films had 118,779
showings to internal audiences and 44,762
showings to external audiences). For rea-
sons of economy, the Army Pictorial Center
is scheduled to be closed on 30 June 1970,
and the responsibility for the various audio-
visual activities will be assigned to other
facilities of the Army Materiel Command,
d. Army Regulation 360-81 (Inclosure 7)
describes the operation of all offices, including
the Army Reserve and the Army National
Guard, which have a share of the responsi-
bility for conduct of the internal information
program. Costs are included in paragraph 2a,
above.
e. Catalogs and listings of materials used
in the internal information program are at
Inclosure 8.
f. A copy of each of the internal informa-
tion materials published during PY 1970, are
at Inclosure 9, 10, 11, and 12.
g. The detailed data requested is shown in

Mr. FaLBRIGHT. Mr. President,. I

The legislative clerk proceeded to call
the roll.
Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I ask
unanimous consent that the order for
the quorum call be rescinded.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without
objection, it is so ordered.
Mr. 'DHtIRMOND. Mr. President, with
respect to the comments on Guard and
Reserve forces inelded in the committee
report on the defense appropriation bill
for 1971, I agree wholeheartedly with the
requirement for belt tightening In both
the National Guard and Reserves of all
the services. Such belt tightening
through improved tilariagemeat is being
forced upon the services through rising
personnel costs, the prices of fuel and
other expendable supplies, and the like.
Before we punch another hole in the
belt, however, we should recfgnize that
the Guard and Reserves have been living
under. austere budgets Once the political
deeislen :in 1965 that they wculd not be
mobilized to duty in Southeast Asia. For.
example, Army Reserve construction has
been stopped for 6 of the 7 years from
1964 to 1970. Normal equipment retire-
ment and withdrawals of equipment for
use in combat from the Army Guard and
Army Reserve exceeded equipment issues
jective of which is the development of
mobilization equipping, manning, and
training levels to meet JCS stated re-
quiiements for force deployability.
The reductions which have been made
In Guard and Reserve appropriations do
not appear to be consistent with this ob-
jective. The House, of Representatives
has told the Air Force to retain units
previously programed for inactivation
and has provided the necessary funds to
support this retention. If the commit-
tee report is e,pproved, we in the Sen-
ate will signify our willingness to have
these units retained without the neces-
sary support funds, thereby forcing de-
gradation of support and a consequent
lessening of readiness for deployment.
There Is another point which we
should consider before we determine that
there is oversupport for the Air Na-
tional Guard and the Air Force Reserve.
The technician manning and flying hour
proirram represented by the operations
and maintenance funds are key elements
which have made these components
ready-so ready that when units of the
Air Guard and Air Reserve were
mobilized In 1968, they were ready for
deployment within 72 hours and were
able to fly combat missions within a few
dayis.after their arrival in Vietnam.
At a time when the Secretary of De-
fence and the military, services are try-
ilig to carry out the repeatedly expressed
intent of Congress that the Guard and
Reserve be made ready so that they can
be used upon mobilization and would,
therefore, be more likely to be mobilized
should, the need arise-at a timq when
we are encouraging the improvement of
readiness In all the Guard and Reserve
components, it would be inconsistent for
us to jeopardize proven readiness in the
two components where the greatest im-
prorement has been made.
MY. ELLENPER. Mr. President, I
suggest the absence of a quorum.
The PRESIDING OFFICER 4Mr.

MURPHY). Is there objection to the pres-
ent consideration of the report?
There being no objection, the Senate
proceeded to consider the report.
(For conference report, see House pro-
ceedings of December 7, 1970, pp.
H11294-H11295, CotwazSSIONAL RECORD.)
Mr. HOLLAND. Mr. President, may I
ask that the secretaries on both sides of
the aisle notify Senators who may be
concerned with this matter that the Sen-
ate will take up this conference report
immediately. I have heretofore endeav-
ored to notify all the Senators that I
thought were interested one way or the
other in this report. I hope that they
may be present on the floor momentarily.
Mr. President, I shall not report on all
the details of the conference agreement,
since the full text of the conference re-
port and the statement of the managers
on the part of the Rouse have been
printed as House Report No. 91-1680,
and appears In the CONGRESSIONAL REC-
ORD of December 7, yesterday, beginning
on page H11294.
Mr. President, the Senate passed the
agricultural appropriation bill on July 9.
The bill as passed by the Senate con-
tained 62 different numbered amend-
ments, comprised of 106 individual dif-
ferences. The House appointed its con-
ferees on November 20, and the confer-
ence committee met on December 2, and
again on December 3, when it reached
final agreement.
Mr. President, I should say in justice
to the House that the conferees of the
House were not appointed until that late
date because of the pendency of the farm
bill which had not become law until
about the time of the appointment of
the House conferees.
Mr. President, in recognizing the need
to economize in Federal expenditures,
plus the fact that almost one-half of the
current year will have elapsed by the
time the President approves the appro-
priation bill, many of the items in con-
ference were reduced below the amounts
proposed by the Senate.
The conference agreement on the ap-
propriation bill totals $8,090,856,550. This
is $7,260,400 over the 1970 appropriations,
$342,502,050 over the 1971 budget esti-
,
from 1964 to 1969. ; objection, it is so ordered. mates, and $385,078,550 under the bill as

Now, as the Committee on .Appropria-

has placed on the Department of Defense

I believe the committee also eliminated
the $30-million item in the House bill
for the International Fighter, another
matter which has been debated at con-
siderable length in the Senate; is that not
correct?
Mr. ELLENDER. That is correct.
Mr. FULBRIGHT. And the committee
retained the Mansfield amendment of
last year, the language requiring Depart-
ment of Defense research to be relevant
to a military function?

Mr. FULBRIGHT. Mr. President, these,
are all actions for which I think the Sen-
ator from Louisiana deserves great credit
and the commendation of the Senate, be-
cause he has done a very good job in all
these Instances In retaining what I be-
lieve to be the majority opinion of the
Senate itself,
Mr. President, reverting now to the
substance of my own amendment to
illustrate one of the points I mrde
earlier--I regret that on this bill, which
involves more than $66 billion, when the
distinguished chairman presented it and
when I offered an amendment, I counted
the Senators present, and there were
five.
It seems that whenever we have a hill
involving as much as $66 billion, we can
usually expect to have about five Sen-
ators listening to the pre..entatlon of
the chairman. If it is a bill involving only
a little item like $290 million for the
SST, I think on that we had 70 Sen-
ators present, al intensely interested, as
though it involved the whole Treasury
of the United States. But the bigger the
bill, the less attention is given to A.
That has been a standing tradition in
both the House of Representatives and
the Senate. I remember in the Howe
once We. passed What was in those days
the largest bill ever passed, which was,
back in the 1940's, in the amount of $10
billion, and I believe it passed in ar-
proximately 20 minutes, as I recall, withi-
out.debate. So-.dais Is nothing new, in
either the House or the Senate, and it is
certainly no reflection upon the chair-
man of the committee. He presented a
very good statement and, as I have said,
I approve of most of the things he has
done with this measure, with this one
exception as to public relations.
Mr. President, I have here an illustra-
tion of just how far the Defense Depart-
ment goes in brainwashing the Ameri-
can people in the guise of an informa-
tion program.
This is a film catalog of the Army's
"Big Picture" series, issued in the fall
of 1969. The catalog is 32-plus pages long:
Judging from the numbers, I estimate
there are some 400 films o? television
programs listed. These do not even show
up in the regular public relations budget
for which the committee is allowing $30
million. These are the types of things that
are made for what they call "internal
information," and are allocated and paid
for from funds for internal information
programs. Yet, on the very first page it
is quite clear that these are made not
only for that but also for public distribu-
tion. I will read one paragraph contained
in "General Information":
Routine distribution of "The Big Picture"
is divided into two main phases--primary
showings and secondary showings."
Primary showings are made t::o members
,)f the Army through the Command Infor-
nation Program at each installation-
They are a captive audience, They have
to look at the films-
At the same time, primary showings are
seen over television stations throughout the
U.S., and `Armed Forces television outlets
overseas. These stations present the series
ei a public service offering each week for the
Armed Forces and the American public. To
provide adequate distribution, films are ro-
tated among the stations using the series.
Following these primary showings, second-
ary showings are then available. Included
in secondary showings are additional Army
unit desiring films for use in Command In-
formation Programs, civilian schools, public
groups and professional and civic organiza-
tions.
In other words, here is a vast educa-
tion program-paid for by the funds in
this bill -for internal information pro-
grams-designed to persuade the people
of the, United States to certain points
of view, especially about foreign policy
questions.
I submit, as I. have said many times
in the past, that it is not the responsi-
bility of the military to educate the citi-
.,ens of this country about highly con-
troversial political matters. Yet, this is
done. No other facility in the United
Estates is comparable In extent and cost
to this.
I read just a few of the types of films
they have in this one series. These are
very short synopses prepared by the
Ai'my about their own films. This is one:
TV 736: Vietnam Crucible. "Vietnam Cru-
cible" is a report to the American soldier of
Army activities in Vietnam. This Sig Picture
p esentation portrays the civilian as well as
tie military situation in the Republic of
V..etnam,
Many of the films are devoted to Viet-
nam, but some do not seem to be about
anything that has any direct relation to
the military,
Here are some others:
TV 705: The Army's First Infantry Divi-
aicn routs the terror and suffering imposed
by the Viet Cong or., the citizens of a Viet-
iiaaiese village,
',`V 695: A nation builds. Introduced by
Vice President Hubert It. Humhprey and nar-
rat sd by film star John Wayne, this film
tra3es the dramatic efforts of the people of
Vietnam who are struggling to build a nation
under the fire of Communism.
Here is a report of the U.S. Army in
South America helping the people of
Bolivia and Peru. In view of what has
happened in Peru,. I wonder whether
these films are havolg the desired effect
in Peru.
A report of the United states Army In
South America, helping the people of Bolivia
and Peru map the peaks at the roof of the
world and training their special forces units
in guerrilla warfare.
And more:
Ilr 681: The Army in Taiwan. The advice,
assistance and training given the armed
forces of Taiwan by the United States Army
is reported in graphic detail.
TV 680: The Unique War. The story of the
Anse::ican soldier's struggle to build a
nation at the grass roots level-the two faces
of the war in Vietnam, narrated by Glenn
Ford.
Apparently, many use Hollywood
talent to present a case which in many
instances should be, I think, entirely out-
side the jurisdiction and responsibility
of the military.
The committee has included in the bill
the provision that research projects must
be relevant to a military purpose, and I
congratulate them for doing that. I sub-
mit that many of these information or
December 8, 197()
public relations affairs have no direct
relation to the military, except the func-
tion. of obtaining more money from Con-
gress for the purpose of financing what-
ever program they are interested in.
TV 676: The New First Team. This film
dramatically portray.. the long and proud
battle record of a unit which has made the
transition from horse cavalry to sky cavalry.
That is a most iin,sortant project. Here
it Is 1969, and a TV film shows the tran-
sition from horse cavalry to sky cavalry.
I wonder what military purpose that
serves.
These are available not just for the
military but also to any civic club or any
high school. The catalog tells you how to
telephone the local office, and you can get
any of these films free of charge.
Here is another one, TV 675, entitled
"Your Military Neighbor." This is their
description:
TV 675: Your Military Neighbor. The Army
is often called upon to assist the civilian com-
munity during times of emergency. "Your
Military Neighbor" Is the story of this assist-
ance and the soldier who is active in the af-
fairs of the community.
TV 674: Vietnam Report. This film ex-
plains why Americans are in Vietnam and
how the American fighting roan is dedicated
to helping the free people of Vietnam to pro-
tect their freedom.
Mr. President, this reminds me of a
film which has been much discussed in
recent years, entitled "Why Vietnam?",
a different film from any of those I men-
tioned, This description reads:
Outlines U.S. policy wti;h respect to Viet-
nam as stated to the Nation.
I mention this film because it comi-
pletely distorts the facts as to how we
got into this war. I want to call at-
tention to it now because, apparently, we
are about to become involved in Cam-
bodia in much the same way as we be-
came involved In Vietnam.
The point is that the films are all
made with Government money, paid for
by the taxpayers, for the purpose of what
they call informing, but I would call it
the brainwashing of the American peo-
ple about many of our Government's
policies.
The USIA is specifically forbidden to
brainwash the American people. The
USIA makes films of many things but
they are restricted for use only in for-
eign countries. I am not, sure that I ap-
prove of a lot the USIA does, but as long
as they are only misleading foreign peo-
ple about our policies, that is one thing,
but for us to finance our own depart-
ments to mislead the American people.
I believe is the height of idiocy. I do not
think we should allow them .to do.
These films are made in the Pentagon
and distributed throughout the United
States free of charge-that is, free to the
recipient., but not free to the taxpayers.
They disguise this operation by calling
it "troop information." Well if it is troop
information, why;.does the pamphlet say
these are all available to civic clubs and
high schools or to anyone else who wants
them, and free of charge?
Also, they urge television stations to
use them and many of the smaller ones
like to use them as fillers. What they

these activities are subject to the limitation
imposed on each of the services.
The Public Affairs function provides for
the fallowing activities:
It provides a daily news briefing, necessary
In-country transportation, accreditation, and
other logistic support to more than 400 news-
men in South Vietnam and responds to their
inquiries concerning military operations in
that nation.
It conducts a daily regularly-scheduled on-
the-record briefing for newsmen covering the
Department of Defense, at which there is an
extended exchange of questions and answers
concerning a wide variety of subjects related
to the Department's activities.
It, arranges and conducts special news
briefings and conferences at which the Secre-
tary of Defense and other knowledgeable offi-
cials are available to answer newsmen's ques-
tions concerning subjects of interest. In addi-
tion to the daily briefings, 60 other additional
news briefings were arranged for newsmen
at the Pentagon in 1969.
It arranges interviews for newsmen and
authors with key officials of the Department
at-the behest of these newsmen and authors.
For example, in 1969 more than 450 inter-
views requested by newsmen were arranged
by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of
Defense (Public Affairs). In that same year,
that office was responsible for arranging for
Secretary Laird meeting with newsmen on 60
occasions..
It provides the 35-50 newsmen covering the
Pentagon daily and others in Washington
and throughout the nation, with a 24-hour-
2-day, seven-day-a-week, availability to re-
spond to inquiries. In 1969, more than 35,000
news inquiries were handled by the office
providing this service.
It schedules knowledgeable speakers from
the Department to meet, insofar as possible,
requests recived from the public and from
organizations.
Coordinates and arranges news coverage of
major news events to insure equitable treat-
ment for all news media, efficient and prompt
handling of news copy, film, and sound re-
cording; as well as access to news sources.
For example, coverage of the movements of
the Sixth Fleet during the Jordanian crisis
was arranged and coordinated by the Office
of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Pub-
lic Affairs).
In response to requests from community,
civic, and other organizations; it coordinates
and schedules the appearance of demonstra-
tion teams, such as the Blue Angels, Thun-
derbirds and Golden Knights throughout the
nation.
It monitors military operations and pro-
grams to insure that accurate information
on these activities is publicly released on a
timely basis and is consistent with the re-
quirements of national security.
It reviews, for security and policy, Defense
information that is proposed for release by
the Government to the public, in addition to
reviewing for security thousands of pages a
year 'of Congressional testimony by Defense
witnesses in order to permit open publication
of the hearings.
It assists the Secretary of Defense and
other key officials of the Department in re-
sponding to voluminous correspondence ad-
dressed to them or referred to them as a re-
sult of public or Congressional Inquiries.
S19691
It provides technical assistance to radio,
television and broadcasting representatives
covering news events associated with Depart-
ment of Defense operations.
It exerts continuous effort throughout the
Department of Defense to insure promptness,
accuracy, and completeness in the release of
information concerning the Department's ac-
tivities in consonance with the Freedom of
Information Act and the Principles of Pub-
lic Information enunciated by the Secretary
of Defense.
In conjunction with the Department of
State and in support of our Paris peace nego-
tiators, it makes available to the American
and world public, information concerning the
plight of American Prisoners of War and
Missing in Action. Cooperates with a great
variety of organizations in focusing world at-
tention on the problem. The program is car-
ried out under the supervision of the Deputy
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public
Affairs (Operations).
It arranges and provides briefings at the
request of student groups and thus affords
an opportunity for exchanging ideas and in-
formation during question and answer peri-
ods. For example, since January 1, 1970,
approximately 125 student and youth groups
composed of 3,792 members attended De-
fense briefings at the Pentagon or locations
in the Washington area, and engaged in dis-
cussions at their request.
Mr. YOUNG of North Dakota. Mr.
President, movies and slides are , used
more and more each year, especially in
our school systems. It is one of the best
ways of teaching young people. I have
seen some of these films. They are very
good. I think we will need more and more
of them in the military system, particu-
larly if we are to sell a voluntary military
system to our people. The Department of
Defense will have to produce films show-
ing how good life is in the military if we
are to have a completely voluntary mili-
tary force by the date we have set, which
is about a year from now.
We always have a problem of public
relations wherever the military is in-
volved, especially in Southeast Asia.
Even in my State we have the Minute-
man missiles scattered over one-third of
our State, and we have two large Air
Force bases, and now a large ABM sys-
tem which involves 12 or 15 towns and
cities. They have many problems as the
result of this huge program.
Both the Army and the Air Force have
an obligation to the people of North
Dakota to explain what they are doing
there. If a chamber of commerce wants
a speaker to explain what they are doing,
they should be able to get a speaker to
tell them what they are doing. If they
want General Westmoreland to speak,
and I was able to get him, he would serve
a good purpose.
I do not see how it is possible to cut
out something that is so vital in the De-
partment of Defense. As the chairman of
the committee has pointed out, there
would be little funds left for the re-
mainder of the year if this motion were
agreed to.
Mr. FULBRIGHT. Mr. President, I
think the purpose of the amendment is
misunderstood. General Westmoreland is
not paid out of the funds of public rela-
tions. He is on the regular payroll. My
proposal would not affect his speech-
making activities. The Senator has dis-
torted the purpose of the amendment.
My proposal relates to the use of the vast

resources of the military to . nfluence tl:e
attitudes and political judgments, of
Americans in general.
But these are v,st programs. There are
over 400 films Li one catalog. It is a
process, I think, of brainwashing tl-.e
American people. There is no competirg
agency. I wonder what the attitude of
the Senator from North )Dakkota would be
if the State Department undertook to
sell the American people on one of is
policies and we appropriated $100 Hilt-

icy, As has been said before, and I joineol

The'Senator asked how we are going
to sell a voluntary army. I do not think it
is a function of the military to sell a vol-
untary army. At present I am opposed 1o
the idea of a volunteer army. I do not
think it Is consistent with the preserva-
tion of a democratic system to establi.h
a voluntary army which is disassociated
from the people. I might change my
mind, but as of the moment I am opposed
to it. That is a matter" that all of us in
public life will have to thrash out sooner
or later.
My amendment is addressed Ito the
program of public relations. This pro-
gram ;does not finance General West-
moreland's travels.
The Senator mentioned the ABM. I
think it is not proper, if we are going ~o
preserve the independence of judgment
in tile; Senate, to use the full impact of
the Military Establishment to go Out and
sell the ABM. That is one of the most
controversial political issues we have ever
had come before as.
Last year the Arst matte' was decided
on a 50-50 vote, Now, you throw into the
breach all the pressure of the military
to make people think it is a good thing
and that it would be a strong step. I think
that i&' not in keeping with our dem.)-
cratic isystem.
Mr. YOUNG of North Dakota. Appar-
ently the Senator was not listening to my
remarks.
Mr.FULBRIGHT. I was `istening ve'y
carefully.
Mr. YOUNG of'North Dakota. We have
an ABM in North Dakota. It involves t2
to_15 towns and cities. They are all be-
ing affected one way, or another. It is up
to the military to go to these towns and
cities and tell them how they are being
affected. We have another situation whh
the Air Force.
Two years ago we had a terrific storm
and the Air Force came to help the In-
dian people-gig ingr them clothes and
other help.
I do not say these funds should have
to be used to sell the ABM but to te.1 the
local communities how they will tie
affected.
Mr.; FULBRIGHT, The Senator re-
members that last year we had the fa-
mous Starbird memorandum. General
Starbird was in., charge of selling the
ABM. He put out a memorandum whi.3h
was secret to begin with, but an entor-
prising reporter discovered it, and the
Washington Post published it. He set
forth ,how to gc about selling the pro-
gram. It would have organized the man-
ufacturers and the industrial' companies
who were Involved in the project and
their people would be used to go to each
community, inform the leading citizens
there, and get them to speak up for ABM.
He had in the memorandum every possi-
ble approach of the Pentagon and its
related allies, especially contractors to
seal the ABM: to the American people.
I thought that is what the Senator
from North Dakota had reference to.
I assume they told the people in North
Dakota that, having the missiles in their
rr.idst, the ABM would be the salvation
of the world and make them feel, that
they are a great part of a mission which
contributes to peace and safety. I do not
know what else they would say to the
people there. They would not say, "Look,
there is a great difference of opinion on
this ABM. BCalf of the Senate voted for
it and half against it."
Mr. YOUNG ctf North Dakota. Mr.
President, will the Senator yield?
Mr. FULBRIGHT. I yield.
Mr. YOUNG of North Dakota. The
people of North Dakota need no selling
a', all. They think it is a patriotic thing
to do. They accepted the ABM and the
Minuteman and two Air Force bases.
Mr. FULBRIGHT. The Senator from
North Dakota is the one who sold them.
What the Senator from North Dakota is
for, the people there are for. I myself do
not see why they had to send the military
there, because the Senator from North
Dakota can do better than the military.
That is his function. I think it is his
function, as a Senator and a political
officer. I think the Senator would be
derelict if he did not explain his views
and interpretation of the ABM. He sup-
ported It. That is his right and duty, if
he believes In it.
I do not think we ought to turn the
primary education of the American peo-
ple on military matters over to the
military-that is, if we want to pre-
serve the American system. They simply
have too much muscle, money, and per-
sonnel. They have all of their people at
their beck and call to sell their views.
17 we think the military can do it bet-
ter than the Congress, then all right.
But as long as I am a Senator, sworn
to uphold the Constitution, I feel it is
my duty to uphold the integrity of the
Senate and its function. If it does not
perform properly, the people can change
taings.
I must say one wonders about it on
some subjects, but I still have confidence
in the political system we have. I think
the education of the people on military
matters should be done by Senators,
Representatives. and the press--the
civilian part of our Government and
country. We are not a militaristic so-
ciety-at least we are riot in the past.
But I must say we do not give as much
emphasis to that aspect as we did in
the past. Consider the bill we are going
to vote on in a few minutes-$66 bil
1'..on. That is more than the money pro-
vided for all of the rest of the agencies
combined, If we leave out the trust
funds, for which we do not appropriate.
This one agency can call on any of its
4 million people, and send them any-
where It wants to, to tell its story. The
Pentagon has sent veterans all over
the country. They have been down in my
State. General Walt has been down there
several times. They send in sergeants to
say what a great job we are doing in
Vietnam and how we are teaching the
people hygiene and what a great job we
are doing there. They send them into my
State, obviously to offset my criticism.
I think I am within my province in. say-
ing what I do. My constituents can re-
tire me if they want to, but they cannot
do anything about rrolita.*y officers who
come there.
I say the system is getting out of
bounds when there is such a huge orga-
nization educating the American peo-
ple on military projects.
A short while ago I read the memoran-
dum of the President of the United
States, issued on November 6th, directing
agencies to cut back on their propaganda
activities, in very specific terms. I shall
not read it again; I read it a moment
ago.
My amendment is in direct support
of the announced policy of the President
of the United States. Therefore I think
the Senate should si1pport the amend-
ment.

Today, however, I would like to men-
tion very briefly a different type of
strength that is needed for a strong
America. This strength resides in the
spirit and soul of the American people.
It is a deep desire for peace: of necessity
peace with security, but peace that pro-
vides hope and confidence for the future
of America and all mankind.. A society
that continues, year after year, to con-
centrate a large bulk of its resources on
the machinery of war and destruction
runs the risk of debilitating its inner-
most morality and inherent humanity.
For the best part of three decades we
have run this risk. Now perhaps there is
a chance for change. As we vigilantly
maintain our national security, by pru-
dent and judicious defense expenditure,
as the disengage from war in Asia, and as
we closely watch negotiations in Paris
.and Helsinki, we may be able to divert
a greater proportion of our resources to

Mr. President, over the past 2 years the

Mr. MATHIAS. Mr. President,. I was
greatly encouraged this past week to
learn that the Appropriations Commit-
tee, under the dedicated leadership of
the Senator from Georgia and the Sen-
ator from Louisiana, had decided to re-
port the Department of Defense appro-
priations bill to the Senate with ,a de-
crease of $389 million below the amount
recommended by the House. When one
considers that the House version was
itself about $1.9 billion below the origi-
nal estimate, it is possible to hope that
at least in this area, Christmas may ar-
rive a few weeks early to the American
taxpayer.
The Appropriations Committee,1?y de-
?ciining to include in this bill funds which
were not in the President's budget and
which have not received the required an-
nual authorization, has demonstrated
the proper emphasis on orderly proce-
dure which is. essential for efficient eco-
nomical government.

was debating the military authorization
bill, I spoke on the twin bulwarks; for a

come aware of this danger and are de-
termined to prevent it.

which the Government of the United
States--the Congress and' the. Exeeu..
tive--decide upon whether war is nec-
essary for our security, has been con..
tinually at issue.
On January 26 of 1954 it the debate
on the Korean security treat', the distin-
guished chairman of the Armed Services
Committee, Mr. STENNIS, and I, engaged
in a colloquy with the then ahairma:n of
the Foreign Relations Committee, Sena-
tor Wiley of Wisconsin. IT-c issue was
over the meaning of "constitutional
processes" and I am going to place In
the RECORD at thv conclusion of my re-
marks the full colloquy--a eolloqu v
which I believe throws much light on the
issue that has been so heatedly debate?i
over the past 2 years. At this point I
would like to quote the following portion.
Senator SrENNIS Is questioriil Senator
Wiley then chairman of - the Foreign
Relations Committee about the meaning
of "constitutional processes": -
Senator STENNIS. If the language does not
mean the Presides, can act without the ao
Lion of the Congress, then what does it mean
and why Include such language?
M}. Wu:EY. To put it In a little different
way, let me say the language simply means
that if there is an avert attack by an afgres-
sor upon one of our allies, the United Statis
will simply take whatever action is deter-
mined by the President and the Congress 10
be advisable unde__" the circumstances, hav-
ing in mind the obligations of this Treaty,
if It is ratified.
Mr. STmeNrs. The Senator says 'the Nreed-
dent and the Congress.' He means, does :se
not, that the language did require affirma-
tive action by Congress before the United
States could enter Into armed, onfliet or, into
a war?
A few moments later IT! the debate.
Senator S'riqNrs, seeking further clari:5-
cation of the war-making ??nwers of the
President and the Congress;, said as fol-
lows :
Mr. STENNIS. Of course, we protect cur
troops wherever they may be. However, apart
from that, does the Senator from Wisconsin
agree that before we would be called on to
act under this Treaty, affirm-vtive action by
the Congress as well as the President would
be required? Does the Senator agree to that?
States take action which, as a practical mat--
ter, may have the effect of committing this
Nar;ion to war without a congressional dec-
le cation of war'?"
The phrase, "constitutional processes"
roLSt imply the powers of both President
and Congress. Under the Constitution the
President of the United States can assert
u;nler certain circutn'tances---such as our
troops being attacked or our physical area
being invaded--his constitutional power as
Commander in Chief io take aciion for the
security of the country. Such action could.
,,f course, lead to war.
The important language In this article, it
teems to me, in addition to the phrase "con-
s'tittrtional processes," which is difficult, of
interpretation, is the 'anguage defi.ntnZ the
aril, and. conditions in which the United
S'trites would be morally committed to take
sosne action under its; constitutional prop:-
es:aes.
:I believe the distinguished Senator from
W.sconsin has said that he did not intend to
make a statement which would interpret in
any way the words "constitutiont processes"
,o exclude the constitutional power of the
President of the United States as Commander
in Chief to act;, under certain circumstances
which he might think proper, to protect the
aemrity of the United States. Is that correct?
Mr. WILEY. Yes, of course. Again we get
Into a field which has been the subject of
discussion for some 165 years, as I have said.
However, I believe that with the understand-
ing which has been appended as a result of
the suggestion of the Senator from Georgia
114r, GrosoEl there can be no question as to
what the meaning of the treaty is. As I have
stated, there 1s nothing in the treaty which
w uld delimit the constitutional power of
either Congress or the President.
Mn CoorZR. We seem simply to speak In a
Circle and come back to where we Started.
V hat does "constitutional processes mean?
Mr. WILEY. It is not a Bricker amendment,
if tbat is what the Senator has in mind.
Mr. COOPER. We come back to the question :
What are the constitutional powers of the
President and Congress with respect to tak-
ing steps toward war? I believe that tha? dis-
tinguidxed Senator from Wisconsin has said
brat, in the--absence of such circumstances
at demanded the protection of the security
of the United States, we would certainly ex-
pect that Congress would determine whether
t41,e United States should go to war.
The, debate I have quoted from 1954
concerned Korea. However, the problem
of national commitments was very much
the principle at issue then as it is now.
The history of the past 25 years pro-
vides ninny significant examples of the
rrocesses of progressive involvement to
war without any express prior conimit-
reent by our Government. It could, oc-
iot commit forces
until the Congress has given its approval,
either by a declaration of war or by a
joint resolution of trsa Congress?
In fact, as the situation exists today,
with the presence of our Armed Forces
in a number of other countries, there is
obviously a great dallg;er that we could
become engaged in a war without "con-
stitutional processes" ever being exer-
cised by joint action be the President and
the Congress. For in addition to Vietnam,
American troops are stationed in large
numbers in Korea, Japan, the Philip-
pines, Thailand, Nationalist China, and
Western Europe.
Senator Snarno'ro s subcommittee of
the Senate Committer' on Foreign Rela-
tions has made a very thorough exam-
ination of our forces commitments
around the world and has asked many
basic questions about the necessity for
their continued pre.^:nce. The admin-
istration is making a. similar examina-
tion. Both branches are seriously extfni-
fining the possibility of the withdrawal of
our forces from other countries con-
sistent with our security.
This is a worthwhile and necessary
inquiry, for it is evident that the mere
presence of sizable forces in other coup-
tries is a significant factor that could
lead to war without "Constitutional proc-
esses." Our involvement in war in Viet-
nam began with a limited military train-
ing program to the Government of South
Vietnam. In 1962, the United States ex-
panded its forces in South Vietnam as
the Vietcong and the North Vietnamese
enlarged the war against the Government
Mr. Wiley replied:
Very well. I think that 'f the clrcum-
stances were such as r have suggested.
namely, if there had been an overt act of isg-
gression but our troops were not involved or
if there had not been an attack of our own
troops but simply an attack of our allies, it
would necessarily follow under Article III
[of the UN Charter], that ae would act to
meet the common danger; and our action at
that time would be in accordance with Con-
stitutional processes. If it did not mean e,ni-
sultation, or something similar,-with respect
to which the Executive has the power, and If
it meant utilization of the armed force,;; I
believe that Congress would raid should have
to decide.
Mr. WILEY. I agree....
Mr. COOPER. The Senator from Mississippi
bas raised the most searching question that
can be addressed to this treaty. As the Sera-
ter from Wisconsin has said, it is the age-old
oonstitutional question, "Under what ?air-
cunistances can the Presider t of the United

war in Asia. But the fact remains that
a steady progression of small decisions
and actions over a period of 20 years had
forestalled a clear-cut decision by the
President or by the President and Con-
gress-decision as to whether the de-
fense of South Vietnam and involvement
in a great war were necessary to the se-
curity and best interest of the united
States. In the light of the experience in
Vietnam, a basic change in attitude has
taken place. In constitutional terms, the
recognition that "Constitutional proc-
esses" become difficult if not irrelevant
once engaged in a war, has underlined
the urgency of the debate of the past few
years over Cambodia.
Of course, economic difficulties and
severe social problems at home, the de-
sire to change our priorities, are. factors
in congressional concern, but most im-
portant, I submit, is a growing aware-
ness on the part of the Congress that it
must carry out its constitutional respon-
sibilities to share the, burden of decision-
making and judgment on vital issues of
policy and national security.
On June 25, 1969,' by a vote of 70 to
16, after several years of thought and
consideration, the Senate approved the
national commitments resolution. In
brief, the resolution states that the use
of Armed Forces, of the United States or
the promise of their use to another court
try upon the territory of another
country, shall not be deemed a national
commitment of the United States unless
explicitly agreed to by the President and
the Congress by a treaty, statute or
resolution,
Building upon this principle, I intro-
duced an amendment on August 12, 1960,
to the defense authorization bill denying
funds for the use Of American forces in
support of Laos or Thailand. T:-.is
amendment was approved 86 to 0 on
September 17, 1969, but was deleted in
conference with the house. Later, on
December 15, Senator MANSFIELD 'and ' I
Introduced an amendment for the same
purpose to the defense defense appropriations
bill, It was modified by Senator CHURCH
and thus marked the beginning of our
association on Cooper-Church-and sup-
ported by Senators JAVITS, ALLOTT, and
GRIFFIN, among others, denying `the use
of funds for American ground forces in
Laos. It was passed by the Congress and
approved by the President and remains
the law of the land. The intended effect of
these amendments was to insure that be-
fore American forces could be come ritted
to the defense of these countries i i way,
the President must secure the approval
.The Cooper-Church amendment to the

the result of a joint decision on the part
I am very pleased that the Senate Ap-
propriations Committee has accepted
the basic principles of the Cooper-
Church amendment and incorporated it
as a part of the bill. Senator CHURCH and
I are extremely grateful to Senator Rus-
SELL, Senator ELLENDER, and Senator
STENNIS and others for their careful
consideration of our written request to
the Appropriations Committee that
Cambodia be a part of the prohibition
for U.S. ground combat troops along with
Laos and Thailand.
The action of the Appropriations Com-
mittee is an affirmation of the constitu-
tional principle that the President can-
not commit troops to war in support of
another country without the approval of
the Congress.
The debate of the past several, years
and-this most recent action by the Sen-
ate Appropriations Committee is in no
sense a derogation of the President on
the constitutional authority of the Pres-
ident. On the contrary, it is a clear ex-
pressfon of the reestablishment of the
proper relationship between the Congress
and the President with respect to the
warinaking powers.
This effort to reestablish a proper con-
stitutional relationship has in no way
restricted the President's powers to pro-
tect our forces--to respond to an attack
upon U.S. forces or upon the United
States itself. In these actions, the Pres-
ident does not require the approval of
Congress but he cannot take the United
States into war unless the threat to our
security is immediate, without the con-
sent of the Congress. And in the event
of an action to meet some immediate
threat the Congress has the right to cut
off funds for such actions if the Con-
gress after due deliberation decides that
continued action is not essential to U.S.
security. -
There has been suggested by so-me,
commentators that the process of the
past several years to reestablish the con-
gressional role in the making of foreign
policy, and security affairs is a part of
a movement toward neoisolationism.
Comparisons have been made with the
battle over the Bricker amendment in
the early 1950's. This is a false analogy.
The Bricker amendment largely con-
cerned the issue of the overriding of
domestic law by treaties and conven-
tions. It would have provided that do-
mestic law could not be superseded ex-
cept by a statute approved by the Con-
gress. The Bricker amendment was part
of a larger conflict between those who
advocated a major international role for
the United States and the isolationists.
There are very few Members of Con-
gress who desire a return to fortress
America kind of isolationism. What is
at issue is not whether we should be in-
volved in the world but rather, how our
power should be used to best further our
interests. It is my belief that the debate
of the past few years in the Senate and
the Congress over Indochina and the re-
view of our other commitments has
strengthened the ability of the legisla-
ture to make the joint decisions called
for by the constitution. The action of
the Appropriations Committee on section
843 is an important declaration of this
new institutional strength.
Mr. President, I ask unanimous con-
sent to insert into the RECORD at this
point the debate that took place Janu-
ary 26, 1954, in the Senate.
S 19695
There being no objection, the debate
was ordered to be printed in the RECORD,
as follows:
MUTUAL DEFENSE TREATY WITH- KOREI
The Senate, as in Committee of the Whole,
resumed consideration of the treaty, Execu-
tive A (83d Cong., 2d sess.), a Mutual Defense
Treaty between the United States of America
and the Republic of Korea. signed at Wash-
ington on October 1, 1953.
Mr. ROBERTSON. Mr. President, will the
Senator from Wisconsin yield?
Mr. WILEY. I yield to the Senator from
Virginia.
Mr. ROBERTSON. Mr. President, I preface
my question by saying if anyone who is in-
terested in knowing why the Bricker amend-
ment was presented, will take the trouble
to read the debate in the Senate in 1945,
when the Senate, unanimously, with the ex-
ception of only one Member, voted to ratify
the charter of the United Nations, he will
find that the people of the Nation, and al-
most every Senator, were so imbued with
the thought that the charter of the United
Nations would be the instrumentality of pre-
venting another world war that the hope was
expressed by many, including Members of
the Senate who discussed the charter, that
posterity would look upon that action as it
did upon the work of the Philadelphia Con-
vention of 1787, when the Nation was formed.
Some very eloquent and wonderful
speeches were made on the floor of the Sen-
ate at that time, but only one minor part of
the charter was discussed, and that was done
by the distinguished Senator from Michigan
(Mr. FERGUSON), who raised the question as
to what kind of agreement would be involved
if the Security Council called on the Pres-
ident of the United States to send troops
abroad in the event of another war, or to
stop an aggression which might lead to a
major conflict. The Senator from Michigan
hazarded a guess that in such a cage a treaty
would have to be submitted to the Senate.
That viewpoint was challenged, primarily on
the ground that the Security Council was
only a part of the United Nations, that the
United Nations was not a super sovereign
government, and that never in the past had
we negotiated a treaty except with a sover-
eign nation.
At the time of the debate there was no
discussion of the fact that an international
PEPC was involved in the United Nations
Charter, and also the question of human
rights, which some persons claim can, if
acted on in a certain way change our Bill of
Rights. So, as I say, without any mature
consideration of what the Charter meant,
but in an impulsive way, all but one Member
of the Senate voted for its ratification.
In 1948 we find the Senate Committee on
Labor and Public Welfare considering an
PEPC bill. That committee reported a bill,
with a substantial number of Senators sign-
ing their names to the report, stating that,
regardless of whether such a bill could be
authorized by our Constitution, it was au-
thorized by the Charter of the United Na-
tions.
Again, when a President of the United
States seized the steel companies without
any apparent authority, so far as the average
lawyer or Member of Congress knew, the
Chief Justice of the United States and two
other judges who agreed with him held that,
even if the President did not have the power
he claimed under the Constitution, he had it
under the Charter of the United Nations.
Consequently, many of us felt that it would
be quite appropriate to insert in the Con-
stitution, a clear definition of what all good
constitutional lawyers said had been the law
all the time-and I agree with that view-
point-that no treaty which violates the
Constitution of the United States can be valid
and effective.
Another treaty is now brought before the

the treaty is article III, which recites:

tddes that our aid will be rendered in ac-

Mr. WILEY. That Is correct.
Mr. ROBERTSON. tic that, certainly, would
clear up the question raised l the Sen.ater
from Michigan (Mn FSRGtrsor4) with refer-
ence to constitutional processes in connec-
lion with the United Nations.
We all know that when the V aited Nations
voted to enter the Korean war to try to steal
the eornrrrnnlstic aggression of North Koren.
the President of the United Stt.tes furnishe1

been as;red to, vote or given the privilege cf
voting obi the question whether the Congress
should carry out the provision of the don-
stitution that the :Nation caniwt make war

I wish the distinguished cheirman of the
Foreign Relations Committee would discuss
this particular aspect of the treaty. Will we

Mr. WILEY. Mr. Press lent, on Thursday.
January 21, the Committee our Foreign Rela-
tions reported the Mutual Defense Treaty
With Korea--Executive .9, 83d Congress, 2d
session---signed at Washington On October 1.
1953, unanimously recommending that the
Senate give. its advice and consent to ratifi-
cation at an early date.
When this body gave its approval to the
security pact between ti,, United States anal
Japan in 1951, one of tie primary elements
which motivated our dc-vision was the con-
viction that while such a pact was essential
to preserving the safes of this country in
the Far East, it was also a prerequisite to
the restoration of Japan eg a. free nation in
a divided world comma=city. For we knew,
and we know now, that if the Soviet Union
and a Sovietized China could encompass Ja-
pan within their sprawling, expanding orbit.
then the power of world communism in the
Pacific, buttressed by .1- pan's great indus-
trial potential, would directly and gravely
menace the-security of the United States in
the westward approache'. to this continent.
Parenthetically, Mr. President, I night say
that most of us realize that we are no longer
living in yesteryear. This little world has
changed considerably, evea since the begin-
ning of the Second World War, and has be-
come very small, indeed We have airplanes
that can travel a thousand miles an hour.
We now have the A-bomb and the H-bomb.
We are now able to cross Our own continent
in a matter of 4 hours and we cross the
Atlantic in 4 hours, if it is necessary. The
result is that every nation is in every other
nation's backyard, speaking figuratively and
realistically.
I was speaking a moment ago about Ja-
pan. Virtually the same considerations are
valid with respect to the Mutual Defense
Treaty with Korea which The Senate now has
before it. If we learned in the Second World
War that the Pacific Ocean was a pathway
for Japan to attack out wea:ternmost pos-
sessions, we have learned, and we should
now realize, that the Security of Japan de-
pends upon our preserving a free and in-
dependent Korea in the territory across the
Sea of Japan-territory which points as a
bayonet at the heart of the island empire.
The security of Korea i'= therefore a matter
of the most vital concern to the United
States, the United Nations, and the free
'world. One treacherous attempt has already
been made to lay hands spoil this bastion
of freedom, which came perilously close to
sueeeding. Have we forgotten the ordeal of
Pusan? Have we forgotten what the position
of Japan and of our force stationed there
would have been had the Communists from
North Korea driven the defenders of the
republic into the sea?
Many who are experienced in world affairs
are convinced that this aggressive attack
against Korea, conceived, prepared, and
armed by an outside power, might never

S 19697
Mr. STENNIS. The Senator from Wisconsin
has quoted from article III the phrase 4'in
accordance with its constitutional processes."
Will the Senator explain fully, exactly
what is meant by the phrase "in accordance
with its constitutional processes," and also
give his opinion as to whether or not con-
stitutional processes were met at the time
the United States went to war in Korea?
I ask the question in all good faith, and
not in criticism of anyone. I was a Member
of the Senate at the time the United States
went to war in Korea. I did not raise any
objection at the time we sent our troops
there. However, I believe we have learned
something in a practical way about what
the clause can mean, and what it did mean,
because it is to be found in article 43 of the
United Nations Charter, which is on the sub-
ject of the use of troops and force.
So I shall appreciate the opinion, conclu-
sion, and assurance of the Senator from Wis-
consin as to what is meant by the phrase
"in accordance with its constitutional proc-
esses," as used in article III of the Mutual
Defense Treaty between the United States of
America and the Republic of Korea.
Mr. WILEY. My reply to that question
would be that any action we take under the
terms of article III would then be determined
in accordance with our constitutional proc-
ess. This approach follows the principle of
the Monroe Doctrine, rather than the "attack
upon one is an attack upon all" principle of
the North Atlantic Treaty. I think it will
be agreed that the Korean treaty approach,
which was previously formulated by Mr. Dul-
les in the Philippine and Australian-New
Zealand pacts, has some advantages over the
North Atlantic Treaty formula; and it avoids
the constitutional question marks which
seem to have been suggested by the latter.
The proposed treaty does not change in
any way the constitutional relationship be-
tween the President and the Congress with
respect to the use of the Armed Forces of the
United States. What we do will be in accord-
ance with the constitutional processes.
If the Senator will refer to page 5 of. the
report he will find this language under the
headline "'Monroe Doctrine' Formula," par-
agraph 6:
"The second element to be noted In the
formula of article III is it? replacement of
the specific commitment language used in
the North Atlantic Treaty-
Which I have just read-
by what Secretary Dulles has called the
"Monroe Doctrine" principle. Thus, each
party, in article III, recognizes that the armed
attack. referred to therein would be danger-
ous to its own peace and safety. The action
to be taken would then be determined In
accordance with its constitutional process.
By contrast, the North Atlantic Treaty for-
mula makes an attack upon one tantamount
to an attack upon all, so that such an at-
tack, which might not take place against the
United States itself, is nevertheless so re-
garded."
That is, in the North Atlantic Treaty.
"Because of the constitutional Issues
which the approach suggests, for example,
whether an attack upon another gives the
President the same inherent right to act as
an attack upon United States territory, the
language of President Monroe was regarded
by Secretary Dulles as preferable when he
negotiated the Philippine and Australia-New
Zealand Pacts, and is reproduced in the Ko-
rean Treaty.
"In short, the phraseology of article III of
the Korean Pact permits the United States
to take any action we deem appropriate by
our constitutional processes, and gives ade-
quate assurance of support to the other
country which may be the victim of an at-
tack. It has the additional advantage of
never having been challenged throughout
