PRAYER
The Chaplain, Rev. Edward G. Latch,

God Is love and he who abides in love
abides in God and God abides in him.?I
John 4: 16.
Our Father God, grant that during the
days of this year we may be filled with
Thy love, the love that never lets us go
and never lets us down, but always seeks
to keep us on Thy way, doing Thy will,
and obeying Thy word.
We confess to Thee the sins we have
committed, the mistakes we have made,
and the faults we have developed. We
are not too proud of the record of our
lives, nor the way we have handled our-
selves in times of trouble, nor our re-
sponse to the needs of our people. ForgiIN
us, 0 God, for our blindness of heart and
our stubbornness of spirit.
Humbly now we open our lives n"
receive the miracle of Thy forgiveness
and Thy love. Send us out into this new
day restored to Thee, redeemed by Thy
grace and renewed by Thy spirit, ready
for the work that needs to be done.
In the spirit of the Master, we pray.
Amen.

-A NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER FOR
THE MISSING IN SOUTHEAST ASIA
(Mr. MONTGOMERY asked and was
given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his
remarks.)
Mr. MONTGOMERY. Mr. Speaker, I
would like to call to my colleagues'
attention a proclamation issued by
President Ford yesterday which calls for
a national day of prayer this coming
Sunday, January 25, for the American
military and civilian personnel still
unaccounted for in Southeast Asia.
commend the President for this action
and for calling attention to the unknown
fate of our MIA's.
As chairman of the House Select Corn-
mittee on Missing Persons-in Southeast
Asia, I am very much aware of the
enormous task we have ahead of us in
achieving a full accounting and securing
the return of remains of known dead.
However, we feel that our meetings in
Paris, Hanoi, and Vientiane have been
fruitful and have set us on the right
course to gain the information we desire.
We shall continue to press ahead in the
months to come.
X urge my colleagues to join in the
national day of prayer for our MIA's
this Sunday and to continue their in-
dividual efforts on behalf of the missing.
INTRODUCTION OF THE FOREIGN
PARAMILITARY INTERVENTION
ACT
(Mr. SC,HEUER asked and was given
permission to address the House for I
minute and to revise and extend his re-
marks.)
Mr. SCHEUER. Mr. Speaker, on De-
cember 12, 1975, CIA Director William
Colby, in testimony before the House In-
telligence Committee, acknowledged the
paramilitary nature of his Agency's ac-
tivities In Angola. Subsequently, press
reports have indicated that our involve-
ment is in the nature of civilian air spot-
ters and ground advisers. Yet, had these
CIA personnel been members of the U.S.
military, rather than civilians, the Pres-
ident, under section 4(a) (1) of the war
powers resolution, would have been obli-
gated to report that fact to the Congress,
and if the Congress failed to authorize
those activities within 90 days, those mil-
itary advisers would have had to have
been withdrawn.
Many in Congress will no doubt feel
that a modest paramilitary operation is
justified 0 0 ? that the risks are not as
great as they might appear at first blush
? ? that the deepwater ports of An-
gola and the protection of shipping lanes
from the Persian Gulf are important
enough to warrant greater involvement
by the 'United States. Others will differ.
Whether or not one favors or opposes
involvement in Angola, what is important
Is that , Congress exercise its constitu-
tional mandate on matters involving war
and peace. It is important that Congress,
after carefully considering the' risks,
either authorize or stop our involvement
in Angola and in future paramilitary
activities.
Therefore, I am today introducing the
Foreign Paramilitary Intervention Act
which will amend the war powers reso-
lution by rris king it applicable in cases
where agents or employees of the United
States are engaged in hostilities in a for-
eign country or are advising foreign mili-
tary forces engaged in hostilities.
NEW YEAR'S EVE SPEECH BY DR.
BILLY GRAHAM
(Mr. HUBBARD asked and was given
permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his
remarks.)
Mr.7.-IUBSARD. Mr. Speaker, millions
of Americans listened to the famed and,
beloved evangelist, Dr. Billy Graham, on
nationwide television this past New
Year's Eve. Several of the Members of
Congress have referred to this excellent
and timely religious message subsequent
to our rat= to Washington.
in order that each Member of Congress
and others might have the chance to read
this message from Dr. Billy Graham, I
am sharing this in the COITGUSSIOIIAL
ROCORD Elld it TAR appear in full in the
Extensions of Remarks today.
His message was entitled "Our 31-
centennial."

MOTOR VEIUCLE INFORMATION
AND COST SAVINGS ACT AMEND-
MENTS OF 1975
Mr. MOAKLEY. Mr. Speaker, by di-
rection of the Committee on Rules, I call
up House Resolution 967 and ask for its
immediate consideration.
7..Fne Clerk read the resolution, as fol-
lows:
H. RES. 967
Resolved, That upon the adoption of this
resolution it shall be in order to move that
the House resolve itself into the Committee
of the Vrncle House on the State of the Union
for the consideration of the bill (11.R. 10807)
to amend the Motor Vehicle Information and
Cost Savings Act to authorize appropriations,
to :provide authority for enforcing prohibi-
tions against motor vehicle odometer tamper-
ing, and for other purposes. After general de-
bate, which shall be confined to the bill and
shall continue not to exceed one hour, to be
equally divided and controlled by the chair-
man and ranking minority member of the
Committee on Interstate and Foreign Com-
merce, the bill shall be read for amendment
under the five-minute rule. At the conclusion
of the consideration of the bill for amend-
ment, the Committee shall rise and report the
bill to the House with such amendments as
may have been adopted, and the previous
question shall be considered as ordered on the
bill and amendments thereto to final passage
without intervening motion except one mo-
tion to recommit. After the passage of H.R.
10807, the Committee on Interstate and For-
eign Commerce shall be discharged from the
further consideration of the bilk S. 1518, and
it shall then be in order in. the Flotwe to move
to strike out 01 after the enacting clause of
the satd Senate bill and insert in lieu thereof
the provisions contained in H.R. 10807 as
passed by the House.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gen-
tleman from IVIassachusetts is recognized
for 1 hour.
Mr. MOAKLEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 30
minutes to the gentleman from Ohio
(Mr. LATTA) , pending which I yield my-
self such time as I may consume.
(Mr. MOAKLEY asked and was given
permission to revise and extend his re-
marks.)
Mr. MOAKLEY. Mr. Speaker, House
Resolution 967 makes in order considera-
tion of H.R. 10807, a bill to amend the
Motor Vehicle Information and Cost
Savings Act.
This is an open rule providing for 1
hour of general debate.
I would like to commend our distin-
guished colleague from California (Mr.
VAN DEERLIN), chairman of the Subcom-
mittee on Consumer Protection and Fi-
nance, for the outstanding work he and
his colleagues have done in bringing this
legislation before us.
H.R. 10807 will strengthen existing law
prohibiting odometer tampering. Many
States?including Massachusetts?have
enacted very tough laws in this area. But
Federal action is essential because so
large a segment of the used car market
involves interstate commerce. Once a car
crosses State lines in the wholesale
market, the State laws collapse. Even if
the buyer and seller both live in States
with strict laws, Federal action is neces-
sary to protect buyers in interstate sales.
This legislation will also be of invalu-
able aid to consumers in making in-
formed decisions in car buying by re-
quiring that information be available on
the comparative crashworthiness of
automobiles.
House Resolution 967 will discharge
the Committee on Interstate and For-
iegn Commerce from further consider-
ation of S. 1518 and provides that
It shall be in order to move to strike all
after the enacting clause of S. 1518 and
insert in lieu thereof the provisions of
H.R. 10807 as passed by the House.
Mr. Speaker, I urge adoption of the
rule so that the House may proceed to
consider this legislation.
Mr. LATTA. Mr. Speaker, I yield my-
self such time as I may consume.
(Mr. LATTA asked and was given per-
mission to revise and extend his
remarks.)
Mr. LATTA. Mr. Speaker, as previously
explained, this rule provides for 1 hour
of general debate on H.R. 10807, the
Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Sav-
ings Act Amendments of 1975, and that
the bill shall be open to all germane
amendments.
The purpose of this bill is to authorize
funds to carry out the Motor Vehicle In-
formation and Cost Savings Act for fiscal
years 1976 and 1977, and to amend the
act to provide authority for enforcing
prohibitions against motor vehicle odom-
eter tampering.
The estimated cost of this bill is

PRAYER
The Chaplain, the Rev. Edward L. R.
Elson, D.D., offered the following prayer:
The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear? The Lord is the
strength of my life; of whom shall I be
afraid??Psalms 27: 1.
Eternal God, amid all the distractions
and divisions of the world about us, keep
ever before us the vision of the unfinished
American Revolution; a land where there
is plenty for all, where there is equal jus-
tice under law, where slums have dis-
appeared, where crime no longer festers,
where service to others transcends desire
for personal gain, and where the com-
munity of faith and hope and love abides.
Grant us here the wisdom and the
courage to bring to completion the re-
splendent dream of our Founding Fa-
thers, who before us lifted their prayers
to Thee. Amen.

ANGOLA?WATERSHED OF AMERI-
CAN FOREIGN POLICY
Mr. BARTLETT. Mr. President, when
the Senate abruptly cut off aid to An-
gola, it once again gave irrefutable
proof that a committee of one hundred
Is unsuitable for day-to-day foreign
policy decisions. The Senate decision on
an important foreign policy matter had
all the earmarks of haste; a question-
able factual basis; scant inquiry; poor
analogies; undue emotional influence;
little debate; and no real deliberation.
While I am critical of the decision, X
am equally concerned with the decision
process. Decisions made in the manner
of the Angola one are seldom correct,
and then only by chance. Foreign policy
should not be left to chance.
Certainly the question of aid to An-
gola is a proper prerogative, as well as a
responsibility, of the Congress. However,
the Congress should not make such im-
portant and far-reaching foreign policy
decisions by legislating hastily. Formu-
lation of the issue through a rider on an
appropriation bill is only one indication
of the careless approach which was fol-
lowed. Our Founding Fathers never
claimed speed was an important polit-
ical quality. In fact, they built many
brakes into our governmental structure.
The Congress should pay heed to their
counsel.
Nor should Congress intentionally un-
dercut the ongoing administration pro-
gram of military aid. Politics should stop
at the water's edge?as it did for so many
years.
Instead, the Congress should have con-
tinued the present aid for 3 months
or so by passing the defense appropria-
tion bill before the Christmas recess and
then in late January approached the
Angola question in the usual deliberate
way, beginning with hearings and end-
ing with thorough debate in both Houses.
In this way, if the ultimate decision
would be to provide military aid to An-
gola, there would not have been a hiatus
resulting in a Communist advantage or
victory prior to the time such aid could
have reached Angola. Nor would there
have been embarrassment to the United
States, or international shock waves of
doubt about the policy and will of the
United States to resist Communist ad-
vancement in areas of American interest.
Also, the full Senate would have had
the opportunity to learn the facts of the
situation, as well as the administration's
position. But this was not the case prior
to the recent Senate vote.
Finally, the rash Seriate action pre-
cluded a nationwide debate prior to any
legislative action?a debate greatly
needed to establish a sensible foreign
policy course and reduce floundering
caused by a wind blowing one way from
the executivebranch and the other way
from the legislative branch.
So, once again, nations around the
world are saying that the United States
does not speak with one voice, that there
is no clearly defined foreign policy. They
say they do not know where we stand?
and they are right. They do not know be-
cause we do not know what our present
policy is.
The traditional clash between the ex-
ecutive and legislative branches of our
Government was not only foreseen, but
was planned by the participants in our
constitutional convention. An adminis-
tration accustomed to running our for-
eign affairs and a Congress insisting on
participating must learn the mechanics
of coordinating a sound and easily un-
derstood foreign policy. Because it will
obviously take quite some time to accom-
plish this, this effort should have top
priority in each branch.
There is a clear implication that the

Senate action may not be aimed merely
at Angola, but at every nation finding
:..tseif in similar circumstances. As a re-
sult,E.:peculation is rising that the United
, :Stanza, during its 230th anniversary of
ecinF, the shining light of hope to those
around the world fighting for freedom,
is unceremoniously dimming the light.
ch irony should not be the handiwork
of the La Senate.
Piftilr the, hlotiTS to our credibility, ye-
from our policies and actions In
eecneheast Asia, we can ill afford any na-
tion elaimina-, that we speak with a
2 0'2:Kati tongue. '7e should get about the
business of a national debate of our
policy toward Angola and other nations
in a similar situation so that we may
speak with one voice?loud, clear, and
in ;lain, understandable 7elnglish.
There are; a proliferation of related
questions, basic to DM" foreign policy,
which must be Included in the debate
and should be answered as soon as pos-
aible. 'eh::: starting point should be `:..11.3
in-iatte2 of aid to Angola. A companion,
yet "iroafiel? qUeSt107.2 ShouId the are
foreign policy include selective military
and scenemeic aid to some nations which
are ezeisteng Communist aggression.?
And should such add be offered only Le
the Communist aggression is abetted by
the Sevlat Union, Or other Communist
countries? Shound congressional sts.:-
prove: be required in each instance of
aid and 12 so, how would this be clone?
Another related question is whether
covert Soviet operations can be come-
-:tveei with overt American action. 'Race.
tangled with these questions is the whole
subject of the CIA structure and con-
gressional oversights. ?
Congress must take action now to de-
fine clearly its emotion in the delibera-
tion and formelation of foreign policy.
Congress must draw the line somewhere,
so that its role in foreign policy may be
readily understood by the seeminisfeaa-
tion, by foreign powers?friend and foe
alike?and by the. American people. Cee-
-tainly a joint executive-congressional
foreign affairs task force should be heln-
Nilin solving the problem.
The remainder .of my remarks will be
directed primarily to American aid to
Angola and future Angolas.
A letter dated ineceariber :6, :975, to
their colleagues signed by the Senator
from California (leer. Toyerz-r) and live
other Senators stated in part,
The Congress, if it is to fulfill its respon-
Dibilities, must be informed about cur far-
eign cx)nunitinents and it the firmr.o.Lr.?-;
of covert operations. We would be TGEiliE3
in our obligation if we failed to fen:Ian:2 a
close and precise accounting of 0117 inhr
est, objectives, and policies being pursued in
Angola.
That Is so much claptrap.
First, the administration was acting
In good faith in providing military
sup-
port to Angola by following the requem-
neents of :aW passed by Congress.
Beconcl, the laws permit covert action,
on the part of the United States and 12
such action is taken, reauirs the
Presi-
dent of the United States to report "3:m
a timely fashion, a description and seace
of such operation to the appropriate
committees of the Congress?' Such as"--
ports in the case of Angola were prop-
erly made.
Finally, any member of the Senate
may receive, if requested, "a clear and
precise accounting of our Interest, objec-
tives, and policies being pursued in An-
gola." Thus, were the Senators question-
ing the degree of Information and ac-
counting, or were they simply disagree,
Lug, albeit subtly, with the nature of our
interest and objectives relating to
Angola?
The same December 13th Letter says,
Clearly the Soviet 'Onion and the United
States EYG participants in Kis escalation of
an African civil war.
The clear implication that the Soviet
Union and the United States are equally
guilty of misconduct is patently =tame.
:ore fandamentaliy, the alternative of
Soviet participation and an American
default is not placed in focus. Oppo-
nents ef aId to Angola seem at times to
imply that if we do not participate the
Soviets would not, or that somehow
things will work out If we unilaterally
withdraw. :Recent events ahow how naive
and !not-es:eat such assuretneens are.

cut off aid, to Angola. This argument is
effeastive because no etleges American
wants another Vietnam, but it is equally
insidious because it hes no substance. To

nam so that our foreign policy may bz
decided solely or. its Merits, rather Peas
specious emotion.
Another argument used against ,V12.1*
aid is that Angola should be left alone
to work out its own destiny. P agree, but
the Tunney amendment does not af.:corn-
plish that goal. Our unilateral cutofi
of aid gives SYS11 a bigger advantage tc..
the Soviets and Cubans to enable thew.
to accomplish their mischief. Cur roe-
duction of aid to South Vietnam did no';
discourage the Soviets from increasing
further their aid to North Vietnam. Cut-
ting off aid to Angola now makes it vir-
tually certain that the citizens of Argo:a
will not be able to work out their own
destiny. Rather their future will be
sculptured Soviet style.
Still another ant-Angolan aid argu-
ment is that no longer is there any reel
ideological difference with comnrunisir..
What evidence or logic supports this
argument? This same theme was ad-
vanced near the end of the Vietnam war,
but a week's personal visit to Bout.b. Viet-
nam in February 1.975 convinced me to
the contrary. Definitely, the majority Cf
the South Vietnamese fought such a
long war against North Vietnam because
they treasured their freedom and feared
commur2sra.
In the Angela situation, several other
black nations have asked the United
States to intercede because they also see
fearful of Soviet communism, as well as
Soviet and Cuban military power and
presence.
The old liberal saw that Coramunist
theory does not present "any real dif-
ference in ideology" is as incosrect es
the claim that South Vietnam, Cambo-
dia, Czechoslovakia, and Poland are cal-
amples of nations where freedom
abounds.
The following Soviet position on the
nature of Conmeentst ideology, that ap-
peared in Pravda in May 1913, is can-
didly sobering. :t seed:
Only naive people can expect that recof.-
nition of the principles of coexistence by tke
capitalists can weaken the main contradic-
tion of our times between capitalism exicl
socialism, Or that the ideological strugg:e
will be weakened.
The senior Senator from Idaho (M:.
C,"?Innzol-r) said:
If we took a longer view of history, I think
we would not become so frightened by inter-
vention in Africa on the part of the Russians,
we would: adopt a policy that does nct simp y
mi.:Mick the Rinsians.
First, however, history shows when v e
have successfully "mimicked" the ant-
sians freedom has remained viable.
Greece, :ran, Terence, Germany, and
Portugal are examples. The use of the
term "mimicked." is calculated to ol.-
scure the real issue, rather than to ana-
lyze it.
The underlying basis of the argument
to cut off the counter-aid offsetting nae-
Viet End in Angola and presumably other
Angolcs is that fee threat from oomme.-

A quick look at Somalia shows a con-
tinuing buildup of military might right
there in River City at First and Main
Streets?perhaps the most strategic lo-
cation in Africa and the Indian Ocean?
the intersection of the Suez Canal traf-
fic with that rounding at Cape Good
Hope. The Soviets have port and repair
facilities for their Indian Ocean fleet, an
international radio facility, a missile
handling facility, large storage build-
ings, and several large airports avail-
able to them. And they continue to build
up their military muscle.
Additionally, it is unlikely that the
political relationship between the Soviets
and the Angolan Communists is merely
platonic as some claim. Politically we
know well that this has never been their
nature. However, the Soviet Govern-
ment newspaper, Izvestia, put to rest
such wishful thinking of the proponents
of the Tunney amendment.
It recently reported:
The anticolonial revolution (in Angola)
does not end with the achievement of inde-
pendence. It is quite natural that assistance
should be continued.
Izvestia further reports that the Soviet
intervention in the Angola civil war !s
An important principle of Soviet foreign
policy and further that d?nte cannot mean
the freezing of the social status quo around
the world.
This clearly means that it is Soviet
policy to use force to deny nations the
right to determine their own destiny, and
that they are going to continue to inter-
vene in Angola until the Communist fac-
tion wins. To the Soviets, anticolonialism
is the rationalization for expanding their
satellites.
To repeat, Izvestia says that:
D?nte cannot mean the freezing of the
social status quo around the world.
The Soviets want it both ways?d?
tente with the United States, but inter-
vention to support and expand Soviet
Communist aggression and Soviet policy
anywhere they choose around the world.
Perhaps the most preposterous demand
of all, a frequent one that was used in
opposition to the modest expansion of
the U.S. naval base on Diego Garcia, is
that we unilaterally stop what we are
doing in order to negotiate?negotiate
with the Soviets?as if that will lead to
the millenium. This is akin to negotiating
with a band of burglars while a raid of
your home is in progress?likely to en-
dear you temporarily, but not likely to
save your goods.
We learned from all the negotiations
with the Soviets, including the Cuban
missile crisis, the Vietnam war, and
SA1.11' I and IT, that we can negotiate
successfully only from strength?that
we capitulate from weakness.
If we decide, after cutting off our own
assistance to Angola, to negotiate the
withdrawal of Soviet aid to Angola, the
Soviets will almost certainly have estab-
lished their presence. The fight for free-
dom will have been lost before such ne-
gotiations get to first base. Because we
would have nothing to negotiate, the
Soviets would laugh in our face.
Our aid to Angola arrived after the
Communist side had the advantage, yet
this aid helped to bring quickly the civil
war back into balance. With the recent
Pravda claim of Communist victories in
Angola, it appears that additional aid is
most urgently needed and could result
once again in then non-Communist
forces regaining a balanced situation?
one which could provide a real opportu-
nity for a negotiated settlement.
Had Congress dealt with the issue of
Angolan aid in an orderly and rational
way, the outcome may or may not have
been different. But the odds in favor of
correct decisions are greatly reduced by
the way we are making them, and the
chances of the Senate making a real
contribution to foreign policy or national
enlightenment are severely lessened.
Congress must understand its own
strengths and its own weaknesses, or its
mistakes will continue and compound.
We can afford some mistakes, but we
should have learned by now that another
nation lost to communism is not a mis-
take which can easily be rectified.

REPORT OF SENATOR JAVITS ON
TRIP TO LATIN AMERICA
Mr. JAVITS. Mr. President, I report
to the Senate today on my recent trip
to Latin America.
Mr. President, these visits were of such
critical importance to future U.S. policy
in Latin America that I hope very much
Members will acquaint themselves with
the factual report in terms of the situa-
tion in each of the given countries.
During the Christmas and New Year's
recess, I traveled to five countries in
Latin America in my capacity as a mem-
ber of the Senate Foreign Relations Com-
mittee. I was accompanied by my special
assistant for economic affairs, Frank
Ballance. I arrived in Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil, on the morning of January 4, and
also visited Sao Paulo and Brasilia. My
visit included stops in Lima, Peru; Pan-
ama and the Canal Zone; Bogota, Colum-
bia; and Caracas, Venezuela.
My last extentive trip to Latin America
was in 1966, and extensive changes have
occurred in Latin America since that
time. The two most important trends
have been the loss of democratic gov-
ernment in several Latin American coun-
tries and very substantial economic
growth in a number of countries.
The purpose of my trip was to investi-
S 287
gate the economic changes that have
taken place in Latin America over the
last decade, an especially important
task in light of the new policy respecting
economic development in developing
countries announced by the United
States at the Seventh Special Session of
the United Nations General Assembly in
September 1975. This session represented
a major initiative in U.S. policy toward
the developing countries, and the role of
the congressional advisers to the U.S.
delegation, of which I was privileged to
be a member, was crucial in the develop-
ment of the U.S. position.
A second important reason for my trip
was to discuss major political issues of
concern both to the United States and
Latin America. These include such major
concerns of American citizens as limita-
tions on human rights and press censor-
ship in certain countries of Latin Amer-
ica, notably Brazil and Chile; progress
or laCk of it toward more democratic
government in such countries as Brazil
and Peru; Latin American attitudes on
such issues as the Middle East, the anti-
Zionism vote in the United Nations, An-
gola; and issues of economic importance
such as multinational corporations, na-
tionalizations of properties of U.S. na-
tionals, and the new generalized system
of preferences?GSP?which the United
States put into effect on January 1, 1976.
A third and perhaps most important
aspect of my trip was to determine the
satus of the Panama Canal negotiations,
an issue of overwhelming importance for
Panama, but also of great concern to the
other nations of Latin America.
Indeed, the Panama Canal issue is the
single most important matter of mutual
concern for the United States and Latin
America. A successful negotiation be-
tween the United States and Panama,
leading to the ratification of a new
treaty, could mark the beginning of a
new policy relationship with Latin Amer-
ica, which could provide major benefits
for both the United States and Latin
America in every other area of mutual
interest.
A little more than 2 years ago, Secre-
tary Kissinger announced a new dialog
policy toward Latin America, but the
enormous changes in the world economy
which have taken place since then, in-
cluding the emergence of OPEC monop-
oly power and the subsequent exclusion
of Venezuela and Ecuador from the gen-
eralized system of preferences, have
caused the new dialog to become out-
dated. Thus, the new dialog has joined
previous programs toward Latin Amer-
ica, the Good Neighbor Policy, the Al-
liance for Progress, and the Good Partner
Policy on the list as outdated. The United
States has had, in effect recently, a non-
policy toward Latin America. But U.S.
disillusionment with the United Nations
and the growing economic importance of
Latin America demand a new, positive
policy toWard our neighbors of the hemi-
sphere.
A new economic partnership is re-
quired between the United States and
the countries of Latin America?a part-
nership that takes into account their
increasing economic strength and their
desire to assert their independence even
as they recognize the necessity for inter-

people I met, and the issues discussed.
? BRAZIL
I arrived in Rio on January 4, a Sun-
day, and began my program on January
5, with a meeting with the Secretary of
?Industry, Commerce and Tourism, Sr.
Marcel Hasslocher. We had a interest-
ing discussion on the unification of Rio,
de Janeiro and Guanabara States, 77:tich

financial problems of the type faced by
New York because of outdated political
boundaries. During the day I also oaret

met a number of ministers and Geo-
ernment officials. I began with ameeting
with the Planning Minister, Sr. Reis Vel-

Initiate an indicative form of economic
planning for the United States. Sr. Vel-

paid a call on the President of the
Senate, Senator Jose de Magalhees
Pinto, and a number of Senators and
Deputies.
I next had a long discussion ahcl lunch
with the Minister of Poreign Affairs, Sr.
Antonio Azeredo da Silveira. After lanai:,
had meetings with the president of the
Bank of Brazil, Angelo Calmon de See;
the Chief of the President's Civil Haase-
hold, General Golbery de Couto a Silva;
Minister of Mines and Znergy, Sr.
Shigeaki tjeki; and the president of the
Central Bank of Brazil, Sr. Paulo Lira.
held a press conference on the morn-
ing of January. 8 before Eying from
Brasile to Lima, Peru.
Brazil has been one of the great
economic success stories of modern isimee.
Brazil's growth rate has averaged 1C per-
cent for the decade of the 1930's and
early 1970's, but her growth rate has now
been cut in half as a result of the wcri.el
recession, high oil prices, and restrictive
economic policies Brazil believed were
needed to curb the growth of Imports.
Brazil's oil bill has jumped from 9300
million in 1972 to 93 billion in 1975.
Brazil wile have a trade deficit of
roughly 93.5 billion, or mere for '1975,
necessitating foreign borrowing and the
dram:7mm of oseign exchange reserves.
Brazil regards the trade imbalance
with the United States as particniarly
serious'. The United States has a favor-
able, balenee of trade with Brazil of about
ei..15 to billion. Some means must be
found to trim this deficit to a more rea-
sonable level; this will mean U.S. out-
reach to encourage Brazilian exports as
now permitted by the generalized system
of preferences.
An additional irritating ea.cter stated,
by the Brazilians is U.S. countervailing
duties on shoes, castor oil, and now
leather handbags. They feel deeply
aggrieved by these duties, even though
the total volume of trade in each category
is quite small. In fact, Brazilian exports
of these goods seam *::,1 be doing well in
spite of the countervailing duties. The
iss123 of countervailing duties is interest-
ing for its psychological impact on
Brazilian leaders, because it represents
an ambivalence among Brazilians about
whether Brazil is a developing country or
is moving to developed e'tereuraVrrie.F.o
there is en argument an the merits,
Brazil is rapirily moving away frem
c condition in which it can be construed
even in the eyes of its main. tee...Zing
nartaers 'to be Perinissibio for her to
give subsidies to the exnert of any of
its naie tines and yet to expect these ef-
foets to be ignored by developed mations
like the United States. On the other hand,
the keenness with which Brazilians feel
aggrieved by United States countervail-
ing duties is evidence of a desire still to
be tres.ted as a develoning country by the
United States. Both attitudes should be
treated with an understanding spirit in
the United States even ie. we cannot
agree.
The new generalized system of pref-
erences, which the United States put
into effect on January I, If3, shensed be
of :Major 7:S-11Z11.1; t'a Brazil, arid other
countries in Latin America. The Brazil-
ians had mot yet fully anasped the im-
portehnee of this new trade advantage,
but the emphasis gave to it should
help them take advantage of the GSP
to their benefit and ours. 17. told the Bra-
zilians X met that 7 understood and sym-

that the Ind-retrial countries expect a

cannot continue indefinitely, to grow

Brazil is in its Ilth year of militaiy
rule, and while there has been a degree
of liberalization in recent months, as for
example in the congressional electors
In November 197eo which were won by
the opposition IttDB parity, there have
been distressing lapses. The most not-
able of these publicly was the admitted
death of Vladimir Pee-rzog, a leading
Souissalst, in a Sao Paulo prison, al-
though theCrie:vernment claims he coir,-
mister suicide. Also, there have been
constant reports of a significant aumbar
Of other cases of torture, disappearance
into supposed imprisonment, and other
violations of human rights in Brazil to
cause grave International concern. It Is
said Brasilia is against such inhumane
practices yet . that is where the central
authority exists to stop them. A gocd
sign is the announcement in yesterday's
Washington Post that President Geis el
has removed the Second Army Com-
mander in Sao Paulo.
There is an excellent and diveree
press in Brazil, but It is not yet free.
Even while ir was in Brazil, two elected
deputies of the opposition MDB party
lost their seats in the Chamber of Dept.-
ties through a process known as cessa-
tion and also lost their civil rights for
IC years; there eviction was on an order
from President Geisel under a Brazilian
law gesing 'him that power. These are not

Impressed by the vitality ef the Bra-
zilian people and the economic miracle
they have pieduced. On the other, ore
must be very concerned about the slow
progress in political development and
the continuing bad reports on human

cessful to date because of her rapid rate
of economic growth, which has meant
greater prosperity for many even at iekie
lower end of the economic scale although
'with no inspronsatent in the distribution
of wealth, and has provided the more
ambitious n-.2inebers of the poorer groups

ity into the middle class. Slower growth
for Brazil will slow the spread of theE

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND NEED
The Federal Fire Prevention and Control
Act of 1974 by creating the National Fire
Prevention and Control Administration and
the Fire Research Center within the Depart-
ment of Commerce had as its objectives the
reduction of the nation's losses caused by
fire through better fire prevention and con-
trol; the supplementing of existing programs
of research, training, and education; and the
encouragement of new and improved fire pre-
vention and control activities by state and
local governments.
To accomplish these objectives, the Secre-
tary of Commerce is authorized to undertake
certain acts among which are the taking
of all steps necessary to educate the public
and overcome public indifference to fire and
fire prevention; to establish at the earliest
practicable date, a National Academy for Fire
-Prevention and Control in order to advance
the professional development of fire service
personnel and of other persons involved in
lire prevention and control activities; to as-
sist state and local fire service training pro-
grams through grants, contracts, or other-
wise; to conduct a continuing program of
development, testing and evaluation of
equipment for use by the nation's fire, res-
cue, and civil defense services; to operate
a comprehensive National Fire Data Center
for the selection, analysis, publication, and
dissemination of information pertaining to
fires of all types; to encourage and assist
states in the establishment of Master Plane
for fire prevention and control; to review,
evaluate and suggest improvements on pub-;
lic and private fire prevention and building
codes and regulations; and to perform anll
support research on all aspects of fire
an aim to providing scientific and techniii
cal assistance applicable to the preventio
and control of fires.
The Federal Fire Prevention and Control
Act of 1974 authorized to be appropriated
to carry out the programs of the National
Fire Prevention and Control Administration,
except section 11 of the Act, such sums as
were necessary not to exceed $10,000,000 for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1975, and
not to exceed $15,000,000 for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1976. Additionally, to car-
ry out the research activities of the Fire Re-
search Center, the Act authorized an amount
not to exceed $3,500,000 for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1975, and not to exceed
$4,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1976.
. The purpose of this bill is to authorize
appropriations through the fiscal year end-
ing September 30, 1978 as may be necessary
for the continuation of the programs of the
National Fire Prevention and Control Ad-
ministration and the Fire Research Center
and to consolidate into one account the ap-
propriations authority for carrying out the
programs of the National Fire Prevention
and Control Administration and the Fire
Research Center in order to promote efficien-
cy and coordination by centralizing fiscal ac-
countability.
Under current planning for administering
the funds authorized to be appropriated,
they would be utilized to carry out the pro-
grams of the National Fire Prevention and
Control Administration, except for the
claims program under section 11 of the Act,
and for the support of the research activities
,of the Fire Research Center.
This proposal does not provide authori-
zations for section 19 of the Act relating to
research on treatment for victinas of Are
which is administered by the Department
of Health, Education, and Welfare.

S. 2863. A bill to designate the "Her-
man T. Schneebeli Federal Building".
Referred to the Committee on Public
Works.
Mr. HUGH SCOTT. Mr. President,
Senator SCHWEIKER and I are pleased to
introduce a bill to designate the proposed
new Federal building at West Third
Street, Williamsport, Pa., as the "Her-
man T. Schneebeli Federal Building."
HERMAN SCHNEEBELI, ranking Republi-
can on the House Ways and Means Com-
mittee, will retire at the end of the 94th
Congress after 16 years of service to his
17th. Congressional District of Pennsyl-
vania. Everyone who is familiar with
HERM'S modus operandi knows that his
efforts on behalf of his community were
not diminished by his larger services in
Washington. Throughout his congres-
sional career and despite his busy sched-
ule, this dedicated, hardworking Con-
gressman has maintained his close and
helpful ties with local religious, civic,
and welfare organizations.
As HERM returns to on-the-scene civic
leadership, it is most appropriate that
we recognize his longstanding efforts in
his community by naming the proposed
new Federal building in Williamsport in
his honor. I urge my colleagues to join
in this special tribute to our good friend
and colleague, HERMAN T. SCHNEEBELI.
By Mr. BROCK:
S. 2865. A bill to establish a Standing
Committee of the Senate on Intelligence
Oversight, and for other purposes. Re-
ferred to the Committee on Rules and
Administration.
CONGRESS AND INTELLIGENCE: THE OTHER
SIDE?RESPONSIBILITY
Mr. BROCK. Mr. President, this week,
the Government Operations Committee
began hearings-on the formation of a
new, permanent Intelligence Oversight
Committee that will continue to monitor
the intelligence activities of the United
States. Of course, the past year has seen
an intensive investigation into one side of
the intelligence coin: Past, present, and
even future operations of the Ameritan
intelligence community. That investiga-
tion was conducted by the Senate Select
Committee To Study Governmental
Operations With Respect to Intelligence
Activities and by the House Select Com-
mittee on Intelligence.
It is now apparent that there is a gen-
eral agreement that a new Oversight
Committee should, and will, be formed.
The intention is for Congress to regain
Its proper constitutional role in foreign
affairs by keeping informed, to have the
knowledge necessary to oversee the in-
telligence community. Congress certainly
has the power to grant itself that ability.
However, it is necessary that I point
out the other side of the coin of being
kept informed?that is the responsibility
of having information.
Mr. President, I am afraid that the
events of the past few months have dem-
onstrated that Congress may not be quite
ready for that responsibility. Therefore,
with the establishment of an Oversight
Committee, it is my belief that there
should also be established tight safe-
guards to help protect that information.
It is the purpose of the bill which I am
introducing today to create a Senate
Committee on Intelligence Oversight.
There have already been several
theories advanced regarding the struc-
ture of such a committee. In fact, the
suggestion that no committee be formed
in lieu of reforming the entire Senate
committee system holds great promise. I
certainly would favor such an idea. How-
ever, this measure which I am introduc-
ing proposes to deal with the other side
of the coin, responsibility, which is es-
sential to any committee which will over-
see something as important as the in-
telligence gathering capabilities of our
Nation.
Mr. President, this measure contains
three sets of safeguards. Some of these
are unprecedented, but this is an unpre-
cedented situation. The three areas
which this measure addresses are: Mem-
bers of Congress, the release of informa-
tion, and committee staff.
1. MEMBER SAFEGUARDS
This committee would be nonpartisan,
composed of 10 members, 5 from each
party.
If we in Congres are really serious
about the problems of congressional
oversight, we must insure that there is
never the slightest touch of partisanship.
I was slightly disturbed by a recent
Evans-Novak column that the alleged
Eisenhower link to covert actions were
made by a relatively low-level staffer and
that senior Eisenhower staffers were not
consulted and disagreed. While the re-
cent stories on the last President Ken-
nedy's life might make for titillating
newspaper copy. I agree with both the
chairman and vice chairamn of the Sen-
ate committee that they really add noth-
ing to our understanding of intelligence.
Any future intelligence committee is
going to, time and time again, rim across
interesting and titillating material of a
partisan nature. So, the only practical
way to safeguard such material is to
make this nonpartisan.
Second, the 10 members shall be the
majority and minority leaders, and the
chairman and ranking members each of
Armed Services, Appropriations, Foreign
Relations, and Government Operations.
This mix solves the obvious problem
of having to inform t000 many Members
of .Congress and indirectly, solves the
problem of "scope" of the committee.
There is criticism that having members
of these important committees, especially
chairmen and ranking miority members,
that they would not have the time, or
interest, to properly service on such a
committee. I simply reject this argument,
knowing the character of the men in-
volved.
Third, there shall be both a chairman
and a vice chairman. With the chairman
from the majority party and the vice-
chairman from the minority party.
Fourth, there shall be no proxies al-
lowed. The reason for this will become

more apparent when I explain my next
section on "Release of Information."
Finallyr if any member violates his
trust and leaks information without ap-
proval, he shall be automatically su-
spended when charges are brought by at
least one-fifth of the members, with at
least one from each party. There shall be
automatic referral of the case to the Sen-
ate Committee on Standards and Con-
duct and it will have 60 days to make a
report to the full committee. The mem-
ber shall only be reinstated upon ap-
proval of, first, the full Senate, and then,
the Intelligence Committee itself.
There are unprecedented procedures in
some cases, but like any law or precedent,
no reasonable man ever need fear them.
As I stated earlier, these are also un-
precedented times, and we simply must
stop this making of foreign policy by
leaks.
2. RELEASE OF INFORMATION
I am proposing three separate safe-
guards for the release of information.
Any report, press release, and so forth,
revealed to the public must be approved
by at least a 3-to-5 majority of the com-
mittee with at least two from each party.
For material released over the objec-
tion of the administration, a 4-to-5 vote
will be required including at least three
from each party. In addition, this mate-
rial must be approved by the Senate.
For material received under "prior
notification" procedures, a unanimous
vote of the committee will be required
plus a 3-to-5 vote of the Senate.
This is why it is important that proxies
not be allowed.
3. STAFF SAFEGUARDS
Although I am afraid that all the
Members are not entirely faultless, I
? think that many, if not all, of the sources
of leaks come from staff members who
forget that they are not the elected rep-
resentatives of the people. Therefore, I
am proposing some very stringent staff
security measures.
First, none shall be hired without the
approval of both the chairman and vice
chairman. This will be in keeping with
the nonpartisanship of the committee.
Second, all staffers must have a back-
ground investigation. I must emphasize
all since some of the worst cases of
espionage have been committed by the
lowest level persons.
Third, clearances will only be granted
with recommendation of the staff direc-
tor and approval by both the chairman
and vice chairman.
Fourth, all staffers shall sign a pledge
never to divulge material.
Fifth, there shall be immediate dis-
missal for leaks or other indiscretions
any time a charge is brought by one
member or the staff director.
Sixth, violation of the pledge to reveal
information or for leaking will be pun-
ishable by a sentence of up to 20 years
and/or a $100,000 fine.
Mr. President, we simply must make
this a very professional staff that serves
the Senate and not themselves.
DEISOIILLANEOUS PROVISIONS
By concentrating on safeguards, I do
not want to leave the impression that I
am unconcerned about some of the more
substantive measures. However, I think
that some of these substantive measures
have already been resolved 7ay both the
Rockefeller Commission and the Senate
and House Intelligence Committees.
There are, however, two measures that
I think should be looked into by any new
committee. Thus, I am requesting that
any new intelligence committee submit
reports on the following:
First. The question of an overall "in-
telligence budget." My bill requires that
the new committee report within 18
months the feasibility and advisability
of such a budget.
Second. The question of a reorganiza-
tion of the whole intelligence commu-
nity. This simply must be looked into in
depth. One question I have is the advisa-
bility of establishing a strictly "analyti-
cal department of intelligence" that op-
erates out of the White House. My bill
directs the committee to report within
24 months on this question of reorgani-
zation.
Finally, I have been increasingly dis-
tressed that there has not been some bal-
ance in intelligence reporting over the
past year during this investigation. I am
not defending any illegal action that has
been conducted by the CIA or FBI. How-
ever, on balance, and when compared to
Communist activities, I am sure they
would be considered mild. We simply
must bring some balance to this maso-
chistic criticism of our own institutions.
Therefore, to try to bring some bal-
ance, my bill requires that once a year
the Directors of the CIA, the FBI, and
the Defense Intelligence Agency, shall
issue a report on Communist activities
in their respective areas.
Mr. President, my concern is our na-
tional security. There is no question in
my mind of the importance of national
security. As I stated previously, I do not
condone some of the activities of some
elements of our intelligence community,
but I have no question about the need
for intelligence. This measure deals with
a serious problem. We must face it and
find solutions. It is my hope that we will
proceed in a direction which will make
our nation stronger, not destroy it. We
must stop the creation of our foreign
policy by unneeded leaks of vital infor-
mation which does nothing more than
rip at the fabric which holds us together.
Mr. President, I ask unanimous con-
sent that the bill be printed in the
RECORD.
There being no objection, the bill was
ordered to be printed in the RECORD, as
follows:

As we all know, the costs of postsec-
ondary education have been rising stead-
ily during the past several. years. The
price of a, year on almost every campus
has jumped by at least 50 percent over
the lest 10 years, passing the $5,000 per
year maria at many private universities.
To support one child through 4 years of
undergraduate study can cost between-
$1a,000 to $25,000, a prohibitive sum for
many families. Current and projected
college costs are growing faster than in-
come. It is unquestionably true that the
rapidly increasing cost of higher educa-
tion is a fact that cannot be ignored.
When II initially introduced this 'till 4
years ago, the increasing costs of 'tui-
tion, room and broad, and the related
fees and charges of a college degree had
forced many to take on second :;obo or
to place second mortgages on their
homes. The hardship is particularly
great for parents who have more than
one college-age child eligible for higher
education at one time.
Congress has acted to some degree to
relieve the financial plight of parents
contemplating a college education for
their children. There are a number of
student aid programs that provide relief
in the form, of scholarships, grants,
loans, and work-study programs, to
those most in need, as they should. These
:Federal student aid programs, however,
have been woefully inadequate in light
of the rising financial costs involved in
sending a person to school. Educational
institutions, also, because of the inade-
quacy of their funds, often exhaust all
of their financial assistance by the time
they reach applications of students from
middle-income families.
, This concentration on lower income
groups, has resulted in little or no finan-
cial assistance available for the student
from a middle-income family whose
needs are just as great. The distressing
fact is that families in this group who
are expected to meet a large oortion of
the burden from their own resources
either have no savings plan for college
or have plans that are dangerously
inadequate.
The bill 1: sen introducing today is not
the final answer to the skyrocketing cost
of higher education, but it will help mid-
