regardless of frontiers, in accordance with article 19 of

of the United States and in accordance with high pro-
fessional standards, would be in the national interest;

Cuba must be operated in a manner consistent with
applicable regulations of the Federal Communications

tic broadcast transmission or reception; and
(5) the Voice of America's Radio Marti program al-
ready broadcasts to Cuba information that represents
America, not any single segment of American society,
and includes a balanced and comprehensive projection
of significant American thought and institutions, but

SEC. 144. INCREASED PARTICIPATION OF UNITED STATES CON-
TRACTORS IN LOCAL GUARD CONTRACTS ABROAD
? UNDER THE DIPLOMATIC SECURITY PROGRAM.
(a) Firrpms.?The Congress makes the following find-
ings:
(1) State Department policy concerning the advertis-
ing of security contracts at foreign service buildings
has been inconsistent over the years. In many cases,
diplomatic and consular posts abroad have been given
the responsibility to determine the manner in which
the private sector was notified concerning an invita-
tion for bids or request for proposals with respect to a
local guard contract. Some United States foreign mis-
sions have only chosen to advertise locally the avail-
ability of a local security guard contract abroad.
(2) As a result, many United States security firms
that provide local guard services abroad have been un-
aware that local guard contracts were available for
bidding abroad and such firms have been disadvan-
taged as a result.
(3) Undoubtedly, United States security firms would
be interested in bidding on more local guard contracts

prove the efficiency of the local guard programs abroad ad-
ministered by the Bureau of Diplomatic Security and to
ensure maximum competition for local guard contracts
abroad concerning foreign service buildings.
(c) PARTICIPATION OF UNITED STATES CONTRACTORS IN
LOCAL GUARD CONTRACTS ABROAD.?With respect to load
guard contracts for a foreign service building which exceed
$250,000 and are entered into after September 30, 1989,
the Secretary of State shall?
(1) establish procedures to ensure that all solicita-
tions for such contracts are adequately advertised in
the Commerce and Business Daily;
(2) establish procedures to ensure that appropriate
measures are taken by diplomatic and consular post
management to assure that United States persons and
qualified United States joint venture persons are not
disadvantaged during the solicitation and bid evalua-
tion process due to their distance from the post; and
(3) give preference tl United States persons and
qualified United States joint venture persons where
such persons are price competitive to the non-United
States persons bidding on the contract, are properly li-
censed by the host government, and are otherwise
qualified to carry out all the terms of the contract.
(d) DEFINITIONS.?For the purposes of this section?

SEC. 606. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING AN ENHANCED
ROLE FOR THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUS-
TICE IN RESOLUTION OF INTERNATIONAL DIS-
PUTES.
(a) FINDINGS.?The Congress makes the following find-
ings:
(1) In 1945 the United States supported the estab-
lishment of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to
provide for the orderly resolution of disputes among
nations under the rule of law.
(2) The United States, pursuant to Article 93 of the
Charter of the United Nations, is also a party to the
Statute of the International Court of Justice which
provides in Article 36(1) that the International Court
of Justice will have jurisdiction over "all cases which
the parties refer to it and all matters specially provid-
ed for in the Charter of the United Nations or in trea-
ties and conventions in force".
(3) In August 1946 the United States, pursuant to
Senate advice and consent (61 Stat. 1218), voluntarily
accepted the compulsory jurisdiction of the Interna-
tional Court of Justice in other international disputes
under Article 36(2) of the Statute of the International
Court of Justice, on certain conditions, and main-
tained such recognition for four decades from 1946 to
1986 when United States acceptance was terminated.
(4) The United States has utilized the International
Court of Justice on numerous occasions to resolve dis-
putes with other nations.
(5) In April 1984, the United States notified the Sec-
retary General of the United Nations that the United
States was suspending for two years its acceptance of
the compulsory jurisdiction of the International Court
of Justice in cases relating to Central America.
(6) In 1985, the United States announced it was ter-
minating, in whole, United States acceptance (effective
April 1, 1986) of the compulsory jurisdiction of the
International Court of Justice.

(7) The Soviet Union, as a member of the United
Nations, is also a party to the Statute of the Interna-
tional Court of Justice and is thus bound by Article
36(1).
(8) The Soviet Union, unlike the United States, has
not since the inception of the International Court of
Justice voluntarily accepted the compulsory jurisdic-
tion of the ICJ under Article 36(2) or taken any other
case voluntarily to the court.
(9) Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, in his address
to the United Nations in December of 1988 said: "We
believe that the jurisdiction of the International Court
of Justice at the Hague as regards the interpretation
and implementation of agreements on human rights ?
should be binding on all states.". ?
(10) The Legal Advisor, of the State Department is
holding discussions with Soviet officials and represent-
atives of other permanent members of the United Na-
tions Security Council and other states to determine
whether and how the International Court of Justice
might be used for the peaceful settlement of interna-
tional disputes through procedures that assure fair-
ness and the protection of legitimate national inter-
ests.
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.?The Congress commends and
strongly supports efforts by the United States to broaden
the compulsory jurisdiction and enhance the effectiveness
of the International Court of Justice.

Mr. DYMALLY (during the read-
ing). Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous
consent that the amendments en bloc
be considered as read and printed in
the RECORD.
The CHAIRMAN. Is there objection
to the request of the gentleman from
California?
There was no objection.
Mr. DYMALLY. Mr. Chairman,
there is nothing secretive about these
en bloc amendments. They are part of
^ series of discussions and compro-
Mises with the administration, with
committees which had jurisdiction
over some of these amendments and
have the unanimous approval of the
Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Mr. Chairman, we simply asked for a
Closed rule to expedite the process.
Any Member who wishes to amend
tor one of these en bloc amendments
_
can do so at the end of the debate on
this particular piece of legislation.
I ask for the Members' support for
these amendments.
Mr. Chairman, I yield back the bal-
ance of my time.
0 1240
Ms. SNOWE. Mr. Chairman, I rise in
support of the amendment.
Mr. Chairman, very briefly, I just
want to express my support for this
noncontroversial en bloc amendment.
This amendment is largely composed
of various provisions requested primar-
ily by the administration, but also ad-
ditional amendments by some of the
members of the committee and outside
of the committee.
We were not able to include these
provisions in the overall legislation
originally because they involve shared
jurisdictions with other committees,
and since this bill was on an expedited
consideration track, we had to leave
out all of these amendments until we
could clear the differences with the
other committee. Otherwise, this
entire bill would have been delayed by
sequentiarreferrals.
This en bloc amendment also in-
cludes I think a small number of non-
controversial amendments by other
Members. We satisfied three criteria,
as the chairman indicated. One is they
were accepted by the administration.
Second, they were accepted by the
Democratic managers of the bill, and
third they were accepted by the Re-
publican managers of this legislation.
We were strict in applying the crite-
ria to what would be included in the
en bloc amendment. We do so, so we
could ensure that the motion is only
used for the sake of efficiency in expe-
diting consideration of this legislation.
We wanted particularly to avoid the
perception that the en bloc amend-
ment contained any provisions that
might otherwise have problems here
on the floor of the House.
So I would urge adoption of the
amendment.
The CHAIRMAN. The question is on
the amendments en blot offered by
the gentleman from California [Mr.
DYMALLY1.
The amendments en bloc were
agreed to.
AMENDMENTS OFFERED BY MR. DYMALLY
Mr. DYMALLY Mr. Chairman, I
offer several technical amendments,
and I ask unanimous consent that
they be considered en bloc.

to the request of the gentleman from

There was no objection.
The CHAIRMAN. The Clerk will
report the amendments.

There was no objection.
Mr. DYMALLY. Mr. Chairman,
these amendments simply change the
word "blacks" to "African Americans."
It is the new designation now for this
ethnic group, and I want to be in sync
with the times.

Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous con-
sent that the amendment be 'consid-
ered as read and printed in the
RECORD.
The CHAIRMAN. Is there objection
to the request of the gentleman from
Ohio?
There was no objection.
Mr. KASICH. Mr. Chairman, I want
to first of all compliment the chair-
man of the subcommittee and also the
ranking member, because I think we
have been able to reach some accom-
modations here on something I think
the entire membership will find par-
ticularly interesting.

H 1062 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD ? HOUSE
Whenever a State Department em-
ployee goes overseas, they have to
decide what kind of a living arrange-
ment they are going to get. They
decide this based on the kind of expe-
rience they would have right here in
the Capital. If they have a couple of
young kids, they might get a couple of
extra bedrooms. If they are a couple
living alone, obviously they would not
need to have a 5- or 6-bedroom house
In order to accommodate their living
situation.
The General Accounting Office,
along with the Inspector General, did
some studies into this, and they did an
examination of the kinds of living ar-
rangements that actually existed.
What happened, Mr. Chairman, is
that the Inspector General found that
40 percent of all of the Government
leased overseas housing exceeded the
standards that have been established.
OK, that is all kind of confusing, I
guess. But if Members want to hear it
in very simple terms, the General
Accounting Office went in and found
out, for example, in Brossels that two
separate couples with no children were
given 6-bedroom homes, and a single
employee occupied a house with 7 bed-
rooms in Brussels.
In Manila, a couple with one child
was assigned a 5-bedroom unit. This is
particularly interesting, and I am sure
that the chairman would find this in-
teresting, a couple was given a 3-bed-
room unit because they had a large
dog. So because these people had some
kind of a big dog, they decided that
they needed to have 3 bedrooms. An
employee was given larger bedrooms
to accommodate adult children when
they came to visit.
In Rio de Janeiro the GAO found
that the State Department employees
were living in large apartments over-
looking the beach, while a few blocks
inland suitable housing within stand-
ards was available for a lot less money.
The simple fact of the matter is that
we have a problem with the fact that
when our American employees from
the State Department are assigned
housing, it is done not only on the
basis of what their family arrange-
ments are, but if what ',e
would
n the United entertain-
ing, we have found that many of these
people get these special arrangements
designed to properly entertain in their
homes, and they get these very nice,
very nice housing situations, and we
find out, of course, they really do not
entertain and they really are not rep-
resenting the United States in any of-
ficial capacity.
So what I attempted to do was re-
strict the ability of State Department
employees to get these fancy living ar-
rangements. Let me just tell my col-
leagues that the USIA has more
modest living arrangements. They do
not give people an extra bedroom be-
cause they have a big dog. They do not
operate like that. They do not give one
person a 7-bedroom house. They do
not operate that way, but the State
Department has.
So I wanted to put great restrictions
on, and the committee has agreed to
say that these housing allowances and
these special benefits that go into
housing allowances will only go to the
Ambassador, the Deputy Chief of Mis-
sion, the Ambassador's counselor, and
the head of any Federal agency. This
provision will apply for the duration
of this bill, and then the State Depart-
ment must come back in 6 months and
give us a plan as to how they are going
to fit employees in the proper living
arrangements.
This is the kind of stuff that drives
taxpayers crazy. I mean when my con-
stituents go?first of all, they do not
go to Rio?but when they go, they stay
at a Holiday Inn, probably in the
middle of the jungle. These people are
staying in apartments overlooking the
beach. I know the gentleman from
Florida, Chairman FAS=., does not
have arrangements like that when he
travels.
SO we need to get this thing Cleaned
up in an era of big deficits, but even
more than that it is the principle of
the thing.
So I want to thank the committee
for accepting this amendment. I think
it is constructive, and I am not at-
tempting to create any morale prob-
lems. I am trying to make sure we
have some common sense in the way
we treat our State Department em-
ployees and our taxpayers.
Mr. DYMALLY. Mr. Chairman, I
move to strike the last word.
Mr. Chairman, I simply want to re-
serve comment on this because I do
not know what the State Depart-
ment's position is. But at the present
time we are not opposed to it.
The CHAIRMAN. The question is on
the amendment offered by the gentle-
man from Ohio (Mr. Kasicul.
The amendment was agreed to.
AMENDMENTS OFFERED BY MR. HAMM
Mr. KASICH. Mr. Chairman, I offer
two amendments, and I ask unanimous
consent that they be considered en
bloc.
The CHAIRMAN. Is there objection
to the request of the gentleman from
Ohio?
Mr. DYMALLY Mr. Chairman, re-
serving the right to object, I would
simply ask the gentleman from Ohio a
question. One amendment deals with
the State Department and one with
the USIA?
Mr. KASICH. Mr. Chairman, if the
gentleman will yield, that is correct.
Mr. DYMALLY. Mr. Chairman, we
have no objection, and I withdraw my
reservation of objection.
The CHAIRMAN. Is there objection
to the request of the gentleman from
Ohio?
There was no objection.
The CHAIRMAN. The Clerk will
report the amendments.

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD ? HOUSE H 1063
ered as read and printed in the
RECORD.
The CHAIRMAN. Is there objection
to the request of the gentleman from
Ohio?
There was no objection.
Mr. KASICH. Mr. Chairman, this is
an amendment that has passed this
House before. I want to say to the
committee that I hope when we get
into conference that the committee
will really assert itself, not just on this
amendment but on the amendment
that came before it.
I want to tell the gentleman from
California [Mr. DYNIALLY], chairman
of the subcommittee, that I am going
to give him a copy of the examples
that I cited so that he can see that we
are not trying to do anything in the
last amendment that was out of line,
just basically to put some common
sense in the way these people live
overseas.
This amendment is designed to make
sure that when people get travel ad-
vances, when they travel overseas,
when they come home they ought to
file statements as to what they spend,
and they ought to reimburse the gov-
ernment for what they have left.
Right now there is $12 million out-
standing. I think the State Depart-
ment has done somewhat of a better
job since we started banging away on
this a couple of years ago, and they
are now starting to use to some degree,
and we are now going to find out to
what degree, collection agencies and
credit bureaus so that people are not
walking around with the Govern-
ment's money in their pockets.
0 1250
And, as I say, this passed the House
before, and I hope it will pass again,
and I hope, Mr. Chairman, in confer-
ence that we can be aggressive in
terms of trying to clean this part of
the law up.
Ms. SNOWE. Mr. Chairman, will the
gentleman yield?
Mr. KASICH. I yield to the gentle-
woman from Maine [Ms, SNowa].
Ms. SNOWE. I thank the gentleman
for yielding.
Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of
the amendment and commend the
gentleman for his efforts in this area.
As the gentleman from Ohio has indi-
cated, this is the same amendment
that he offered in 1987, and that
amendment was adopted by voice vote
in the House.
Certainly the State Department
should make every effort to collect
unpaid debts from employees. They
are limited, of course, because they
don't have experience in debt collec-
tion. The gentleman makes a good
point in suggesting that the State De-
partment could benefit from the ex-
pertise of private debt collection orga-
nizations, and I would hope that more
progress could be made in recouping
debts owed to the U.S. Government.
As I understand it, the State Depart-
ment has only collected $250,000 in
fiscal year 1989 out of the $12,000,000
owed to the Department. We need to
undertake a more rigorous effort to
collect these debts.
Mr. KASICH. I thank the gentle-
woman. I want to say to the gentle-
woman this delinquent debt problem,
It amounts in money owed by individ-
uals and companies to the Federal
Government, to the tune of $32 bil-
lion. That is a $A hillicn increase in
about the last 4 years. This is part of a
comprehensive effort to attack all of
these areas where there is delinquent
debt.
The reason why it was not agreed to
in the House-Senate conference was
because there was a commitment we
would have overall hearings on the
whole problem of debt collection. Of
course we never had the hearings, and
we still have a $12 million outstanding
bill here due to the people.
So, I hope that we will be aggressive
in that conference comMttee in trying
to be sure that this is put into law. I
appreciate the comments of the gen-
tlewoman.
Mr. DYMALLY. Mr. Chairman, I
move to strike the last word, and / rise
to comment on the amendment.
Two years ago the committee accept-
ed this amendment, I understand that
in the conference committee there was
a jurisdictional problem. So, Mr.
KASICH might be well advised to check
with the Committee on the Judiciary
to be sure that we do not have this
problem again. But this committee has
no objection to the amendment.
The CHAIRMAN. The question is on
the amendments offered by the gen-
tleman from Ohio [Mr. KAsrcul.

AMENDMENT OFFERED BY ME. RICHARDSON
Mr. RICHARDSON. Mr. Chairman,
I offer an amendment.
The Clerk read as follows:
Amendment offered by Mr. RicusitnsoN:
Page line 9, before "There" insert "(1)".
Page 7, after line 16, inserting the follow-
ing:
(2) None of the funds authorized to be ap-
propriated under paragraph (1), may be ob-
ligated or expended for any United States
delegation to any meeting of the Confer-
ence on Security and Cooperation in Europe
(CSCE) or meetings within the framework
of the CSCE unless the United States dele-
gation to any such meeting includes individ-
uals representing the Commission on Secu-
rity and Cooperation in Europe.
Mr. RICHARDSON (during the
reading). Mr. Chairman, I ask unani-
mous cdnsent that the amendment be
considered as read and printed in the
RECORD.
The CHAIRMAN. Is there objection
to the request of the gentleman from
New Mexico?
There was no objection.
Mr. RICHARDSON. Mr. Chairman,
I will be very brief. This amendment, I
believe, has been worked out with
members of the minority, and mem-
bers of the minority in the Senate. It
deals with the role of the Helsinki
Commission in the future CSEE talks.
It simply asserts that the Helsinki
Commission will be part of this proc-
ess. It states, it strongly reinforces the
efforts of Congressman FASCF.I.L, the
chairman of the Committee on For-
eign Affairs, Chairman HOYER, Mr.
"Glom" SMITH in the minority, and
Dori RITTER and myself, Commission
members, about the proper role of the
Commission in the CSEE.
Mr. DYMALLY. Mr. Chairman, will
the gentleman yield.
Mr. RICHARDSON. I yield to the
chairman of the subcommittee, the
gentleman from California [Mr. DYM-
ALLY].
Mr. DYMALLY. r thank the gentle-
man for yielding.
Mr. Chairman, does the chairman of
the international operations commit-
tee get to travel, too?
Mr. RICHARDSON. Yes.
Mr. DYMALLY. Mr. Chairman, we
have no objection to the amendment.
It is an okay amendment.

(4) make recommendations for the remov-
al of any element of bias in the examina-
tion; and
(5) make recommendations for improve-
ments to achieve an examination free of any
bias.
Not more than 18 months after the date of
the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of
State shall prepare and submit a report to
the Congress which contains the findings of
such review and evaluation, together with
the comments of the Secretary and meas-
ures which the Secretary has initiated to re-

review. Such report shall take into consider-
ation the current efforts by the Department
of State to review its foreign service exami-
nation.
(d) FOREIGN SERVICE FELLOWSHIPS.?The
Secretary of State is authorized to establish
a foreign service fellowship program at the
Department of State. The foreign service
fellowship program shall provide a fellow-
ship, for not less than 4 months, for aca-
demics in the area of international affairs
who are members of the faculty of institu-
tions of higher education. Such program
shall give priority consideration in the
award of fellowships to individuals teaching
In programs in international affairs which
serve significant numbers of students who
are fronvultural and ethnic groups-which
are underrepresented in the Foreign Serv-
ice,
Mr. RICHARDSON (during the
reading). Mr. Chairman, I ask unani-
mous consent that the amendment be
considered as read and printed in the
RECORD.
The CHAIRMAN. Is there objection
to the request of the gentleman from
New Mexico?
There was no objection.
Mr. RICHARDSON. Mr. Chairman,
today I offer an amendment to the
Foreign Relations Authorization Act
which addresses a most serious prob-
lem within the State Department and
the Foreign Service. In 1880, the Con-
gress passed the Foreign Act. This act
mandated that the Secretary of State
take actions to assure that the Foreign
Service be representative of the Amer-
ican people in its cultural, ethnic, and
racial diversity.
Of 276 Deputy Secretaries and As-
sistant Secretaries, only 10 are black
and only 1 is Hispanic. This problem is
more serious within the Senior For-
eign Service Officers Corporation. Of
720 senior officers, only 4 percent are
minorities and only 1 percent are His-
panic.
Since passing of the act some 8 years
ago one would hope that the situation
would have improved; that the State
Department would have taken proper
measures. Unfortunately, this is not
the case. The situation within the For-
eign Service has not improved, in fact
it has deteriorated. In the past 5 years
the percentage of minorities within
the Foreign Service has dropped from
20 to 17 percent. And we have no sub-
stantive assurances that efforts are
being made to stop this decline.
? My amendment has four provisions
which I believe will push the Depart-
ment of State and the Foreign Service
in a positive direction:
First, task force on Hispanic recruit-
ment within the Foreign Service and
Department of State;
Second, report to Congress on the
status of underrepresented groups at
the Department of State, assistant
Secretary and bureau head level;
Third, mandates a study of the For-
eign Service exam, by an independent
source, to identify any cultural, racial,
ethnic, and sexual bias in the exam.
Fourth, Foreign Service Fellowship
Program for faculty of minority insti-
tutions.
Mr. DYMALLY. Mr. Chairman, will
the gentleman yield. -
Mr. RICHARDSON. I yield to the
chairman of the subcommittee, the
gentleman from California [Mr. DYM-
ALLY]. .
Mr. DYMALLY. I thank the gentle-
man for yielding.
Mr. Chairman, the Secretary of
State in his confirmation testimony
before the Senate, in his appearance
before the full Committee on Foreign
Affairs and its subcommittee, and in
private discussions has made strong
commitments to increasing the role of
minorities in the State Department.
His appointment of the United States
Ambassador to South Africa, a For-
eign Service officer, to me is another
signal that he is moving in the right
direction. I believe we ought to give
the State Department an opportunity.
There is a task force now reviewing
some of these measures. The amend-
ment which Mr. RICHARDSON offers is
in keeping with that direction. I think
they are good amendments and we
ought to accept them.
Those-which he has witterticreire
issues which we are going to study
later on.
Mr. Chairman, I ask support for the
amendment of the gentleman from
New Mexico [Mr. RICHARDSON).
Ms. SNOWE. Mr. Chairman, will the
gentleman yield?
Mr. RICHARDSON. I yield to the
gentlewoman from Maine [Ms.

gratulate the gentleman on his amend-
ment. Mr. Chairman, the minority

man from New Mexico (Mr. RICHARD-
SON).

Amendment offered by Mr. SMITH of New
Jersey:
SEC 133. REPORT CONCERNING GLOBAL WARMING
PREVENTION INFORMATION NET-
WORK.
Ftwutscal.?The Congress makes the
following findings:
(1) The United States, which chairs the
response strategies working group of the
April 12, 1989
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC), has an interest in prevent-
ing global warming.
(2) The Secretary of State urged other na-
tions of the world to reduce the generation
of greenhouse gases at the IPCC's first
meeting.
(3) Information and technology available
in the United States, and internationally, on
global warming and related issues could sub-
stantially, assist in reducing the generation
of greenhouse gases in developing countries
and help prevent global warming.
(b) REPORT TO CONGRESS.?
(1) Not more than 90 days after the date
of the enartment of this Act, the Secretary
of State shall, in consultation with other
Federal agencies, prepare and submit a
report to the Congress on the feasibility of
establishing a global warming prevention in-
formation network to disseminate prompt.
accurate, and comprehensive information
concerning matters pertaining to global
warming to foreign governments, business
organizations, public and private institu-
tions, and citizens of other countries.
(2) Together with such other information
as the Secretary of State considers appro-
priate, such report shall?
(A) include recommendations as to the
most appropriate means by which the dis-
semination of such information may be
achieved: and
(B) evaluate, including relevant costs, the
availability of information concerning meth-
ods and technologies to?
(i) reduce energy consumption through
conservation and energy efficiency; ?
(ii) promote the use of solar and renew-
able energy sources which reduce the
amount of greenhouse gases released into
the atmosphere; .
(iii) develop safe non-toxic replacements
for chlorofluorocarbons and Mons.
(iv) promote the conservation of forest re-
sources which help reduce the amount of
carbon dioxide in the atmosphere;
(v) assist developing countries in ecologi-
cal pest management practices and in the
Prover use of agricultural- and industrial
chemicals.
(vi) promote recycling and source reduc?
tion in order to reduce the volume of waste
which must be disposed of, thus decreasing
energy use and greenhouse gas emissions;
(vii) coordinates international research ef-
forts to reduce energy consumption and
reduce emissions of greenhouse gases; and
(viii) encourage international agreement
and cooperation to reduce the generation of
greenhouse gases. -
Mr. SMITH of New Jersey (during
the reading). Mr. Chairman, I ask
unanimous consent that the amend-
ment be considered as read and print-
ed in the RECORD.
The CHAIRMAN. Is there objection
to the request of the gentleman from
New Jersey? .
There was no objection.
Mr. SMITH of New Jersey. Mr.
Chairman, the problem of global
warming cuts across all national bor-
ders. The devastating effects which a
rise of only a few degrees of tempera- - -
ture could have on the planet, demand
that we take steps now to prevent
global warming.
Scientists tell us that global warm-
ing may occur due to the buildup in
our atmosphere of what have become
greenhouse gases, specifically, carbon
dioxide, methane, chlorofluorocarbons
or CPC's, nitrous oxides, ground level

ozone, and other trace gases. In re-
sponse, it is imperative that the
United States pass clean air legisla-
tion, phase out the use of CFC's, as
called for in the Montreal Protocol,
and take other actions which will
reduce our own emissions of green-
house gases.
However, unilateral actions taken by
the United States cannot solve the
problem of global warming. Almost 80
percent of greenhouse gas emissions
come from countries other than the
United States, including developing
countries. EPA estimates that the de-
veloping countries share of green-
house gas emissions could climb as
high as 60 percent in about the next
100 years. It is essential that the
United States take the lead in encour-
aging the rest of the world to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions.
President Bush has pledged to hold
a Global Environmental Conference
during his first term toward that goal.
Furthermore, the United States cur-
rently chairs the response strategies
group of the intergovernmental panel
on climate change [IPCC), which was
created to study the problem of global
warming. Our commitment to prevent
global warming has been made.
Mr. Chairman, Secretary of State
Baker, in his address to the IPCC in
late January, said that nations should
start to act now rather than waiting
until all the uncertainties have been
resolved. He told the conference that
nations should focus immediately on
steps that are known to affect climate
change such as reducing CFC gas
emissions, increasing energy efficiency
and promoting reforestation. In addi-
tion, Secretary Baker said that solu-
tions to global warming should be as
specific and cost efficient as possible.
The amendment I am offering today
calls for the State Department to
study the feasibility of establishing a
framework for disseminating global
warming prevention information
which is already available in the
United States, but not in other coun-
tries around the world. Using the U.S.
Information Agency as the vehicle, we
could collect information provided by
the Department of Energy, the Envi-
ronmental Protection Agency, the De-
partment of Agriculture, the Forest
Service, and any other appropriate de-
partment or agency, on reducing emis-
sions of greenhouse gases and then
broadcast them to other countries.
The fact is that our Government
currently has a wealth of material
_ which could help many countries, in-
cluding those in the developing world,
to reduce their emissions of green-
house gases without compromising
their economic goals. For example, the
Department of Energy was able to
send me, within only a few hours, nu-
merous publications on methods to
reduce energy production through
energy conservation or new advances
In energy efficiency. By reducing
energy consumption, developing coun-
tries can decrease their emissions of
both carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide,
two of the primary greenhouse gases,
without sacrificing their productive ca-
pacity.
In another area, it was recently re-
ported that Du Pont, the world's larg-
est producer of CRC's, had developed
a gas to replace CFC-12, the most
common of the chloroflourocarbons. It
is imperative that the rest of the
world be informed of such develop-
ments so that they can pursue strate-
gies to eliminate their CFC usage, as
outlined in the Montreal Protocol.
Furthermore, through programming
on VOA and Vs-orldnet, the United
States could promote the goals of the
Montreal Protocol by public educa-
tion.
Mr. Chairman, this amendment
seeks to establish a network similar to
a provision already contained in H.R.
1487. Section 204 of this bill author-
izes USIA to establish and maintain a
network for dissemination of informa-
tion concerning U.S. programs to
combat narcotics and other controlled
substances. My amendment simply ele-
vates global warming to a. priority
status for the United States.
This amendment would put the Con-
gress on record in favor of making a
global warming prevention a priority.
It would emphasize our commitment
to disseminating information on
simple, practical, and readily available
solutions to global warming.
Mr. Chairman, by providing the
world with information on how to help
prevent global warming, we would be
making a major contribution to the
world's, and America's, environmental
future. In addition, by taking this
leadership role, the United States may
be seen in a more positive light by the
world community, which would fur-
ther enhance our national objectives.
I would urge all of my colleagues to
support this practical step to prevent
global warming.
Mr. DYMALLY. Mr. Chairman, will
the gentleman yield?
Mr. SMITH of New Jersey. I yield to
the gentleman from California [Mr.
DYMALLY].
Mr. DYMALLY. I thank the gentle-
man for yielding.
Mr. Chairman, the gentleman has
identified a key need which must be
addressed in confronting the dangers
that global warming presents to our
people and Indeed the entire world.
Mr. Chairman, we have reviewed the
amendment and I find it acceptable.
We have no objection.
Ms. SNOWE. Mr. Chairman, will the
gentleman yield?
Mr. SMITH of New Jersey. I yield to
the gentlewoman from Maine [Ms.
Stows].
Ms, SNOWE. I thank the gentleman
for yielding.
Mr. Chairman, I congratulate the
gentleman from New Jersey on his
amendment, which concerns global
warming. I think it is absolutely neces-
sary that we think of creative ideas
and approaches to this problem and
developing an international strategy
for addressing it. There is no question
it is going to require multinational
effort and the United States should
take the lead on this issue.
So, I think the gentleman in requir-
ing the State Department to come
back with a report as to how we can
establish an information network re-
garding global warming is certainly a
right step forward.
I support the gentleman in his ef-
forts.
The CHAIRMAN. The question is on
the amendment offered by the gentle-
man from New Jersey [Mr. &moi].

AMENDMENT OFFERED BY MR. gouge .
Mr. KOLBE,. Mr. Chairman, I offer

The Clerk read as follows:
Amendment offered by Mr. Koimic Page

tion:
SEC. 133. REPORT CONCERNING MEXICO.
Not more than 90 days after the date of
the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of
State shall prepare and submit a report to
the Congress concerning the relationship
between the United States and Mexico.
Such report shall?
(1) analyze potential changes in political,
cultural, diplomatic economic, and other
factors as the United States and Mexico
move toward greater economic integration
and cooperation;
(2) consider the feasibility and effect of a
three-way meeting among Canada, Mexico,
and the United States to discuss greater eco-
nomic integration and cooperation; and .
(3) analyze political, cultural, diplomatic,
economic, and other factors related to the
development of an economically integrated
and cooperative border region between
Mexico and the United States.
(4) evaraute the adequacy of the resources
of the Department of State which currently
address relations between the United States
and Mexico, including a projection of future ?
needs to handle the increasing work load re-.
Quirements resulting from the growing flow
of goods, services, and people across the
United States-Mexican border.

Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous con-
sent that the amendment be consid-

Mr. KOLBE. Mr. Chairman, the

have collaborated on this, and each of
us has a part of it.

time. This importance is highlighted
by the very extraordinary negotiations
that are taking place right now on
debt reduction between our two coun-
tries and which will set the tone for
the entire debt problem of the lesser
developed countries.
I think our relationship with Mexico
takes on new significance Mr. Chair-
man, as a result of the negotiation and
ratification of the United States-
Canada Free Trade Agreement. Many
people have begun to look at Mexico
as the next logical target for negotia-
tions to further liberalize trade on a
bilateral basis. Mexico is the third
largest trading partner of the United
States'; sOmething that in all of our
talk about Canada and Europe and
Japan we sometimes forget.
Now I recognize, Mr. Chairman, that
the United States Trade Representa-
tive has the primary responsibility for
trade negotiations. This amendment
simply tries to address the cultural,
political, and other issues that have a
direct effect on efforts to liberalize
trade. This amendment directs the
Secretary to analyze and report back
to Congress on the political, cultural,
diplomatic, economic, and other fac-
tors that might hamper negotiations
between our two countries.
In addition, it asks the Secretary of
State to evaluate and report to Con-
gress on the current resources of the
Department of State to support the
diplomatic relationship between the
United States and Mexico and to make
a projection of future needs to handle
increasing work which will result from
the growing flow of goods, services,
and people across the border between
our two countries.
I hope that this amendment will be
the first step to increase understand-
ing and awareness within Congress of
the importance of developing and en-
hancig the very important trade, polit-
ical, and cultural relationship we
enjoy with Mexico. This is a relation-
ship I might add, that will only grow
in importance particularly as the year
1992 approaches with its changes for
Europe. I hope I will have the support
of this body for this amendment.
Mr. LEWIS of California. Mr. Chairman, this
amendment, on which Mr. KOLBE and 1 have
collaborated, asks for a report from the Secre-
tary of State that focuses on several aspects
of the United States' relationship with Mexico.
First, it directs our State Department to ana-
lyze the future "political landscape" between
Mexico and the United States as our econo-
mies grow closer. This includes an analysis of
Canadian and Mexican sentiment toward a
three-nation meeting to discuss greater eco-
nomic integration in North America.
Second, it asks the State Department to
give Congress an analysis of what an "eco-
nomically integrated and cooperative border
region" between the United States and
Mexico would look like.
Third, it asks the State Department to un-
dertake an internal examination to evaluate
the resources it now applies to United States-
Mexican relations and project what .those
needs will be In the future.
I agree with my distinguished colleague
from Arizona that Mexico's importance in our
foreign policy will grow throughout the 1990's
and beyond. That is why this amendment is
offered, to give Congress another tool for un-
derstanding our southern neighbor, so that we
will be up to this challenge.
Trade has become an increasingty impor-
tant part of our relations with Mexico. As an
economic concern, it is second only to Mexi-
co's debt situation, which itself is now entering
a new phase.
There are many good intentions on both
sides of the border concerning free trade, yet
we know that good economics do not sell
themselves. The experience of almost losing
the Canada free trade agreement to national-
ist political pressures warns us against com-
placency in expanding our free trade relations
in this hemisphere.
Pushing too hard for a North-American free
trade accord may backfire at this time. That is
why we need a report from our State Depart-
ment giving Congress a clear view of the polit-
ical landscape on this matter. With such infor-
mation in hand, we can ensure that the small,
but key. steps that we take are the right ones
for North America's future.
However, trade and economic figures do
not tell the whole story The great importance
and sensitivity of United Stales-Mexican rela-
tions demands that we understand more than
just numbers. We must also understand the
people, politics, and perceptions behind great-
er economic integration with our neighbors of
the South and North.
The amendment also focuses on the
border-region economy because this region al-
ready acts as a testing zone for the ideas and
realities of economic integration between
Mexico and the United States. If we can un-
derstand what makes the enterprises of the
border region succeed, then perhaps we .can
avoid unnecessary conflicts and hazards in
the future.
Our job, and the purpose of this amend-
ment, is to see that the steps we take in our
relations with Mexico are informed and intelli-
gent ones. We cannot afford to make foreign
policy mistakes in this hemisphere based on
political naivete or misccinceptions.
Because of the rapidly moving events in
Mexican politics and its debt position, the
amendment asks for the report in 90 days.
Congress needs this analysis quickly.
The report must come from the State De-
partment because they have the expertise to
analyze the political, cultural, diplomatic, and
economic factors involved in these issues.
This is not merely a request for a report on
trade relations. The amendment calls for a
report on the important issues surrounding
North American trade which, after all, matter
as much to the people in Mexico and Canada
as do the trade numbers.
Mr. DYMALLY. Mr. Chairman, I
rise in support of the amendment. We
have no objection to the amendment
and we support it.
Mr. CHAIRMAN. The question is on

man from Arizona (Mr. K0LBE3?

AMENDMENT OFFERED BY MR. REGDLA
Mr. REGULA. Mr. Chairman, I offer
an amendment.
The Clerk read as follows:
?
April 12, .1989
Amendment offered by Mr. REGULA: page
6, after line 23, insert new paragraph:
(3, The Assistant Secretary for Inter-
American Affairs through the Bureau of
Inter-American Affairs shall assume direct
and complete responsibility for the manage-
ment of all aspects of United States' rela-
tions with, including the management of
United States' contributions to, the Organi-
zation of American States.
Mr. REGULA (during the reading).
Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous con-
sent that the amendment be consid-
ered as read and printed in the -
Rum).
The CHAIRMAN. Is there objection
to the request of the gentleman from
Ohio?
There was no objection.
Mr. REGUL.A. Mr. Chairman, my
amendment is quite simple. Its goal is
to place the full responsibility for the
management of U.S. relations with the
Organization of American States
firmly under the control of the Assist-
ant Secretary of Inter-American Af-
fairs.
As it presently operates, responsibil-
ity for the OAS is divided between two
bureaus. The Bureau of Inter-Ameri-
can Affairs is supposed to assign policy
direction to the U.S. mission to the
OAS, while the Office of International'
Organizations is responsible for han-
d1Mg U.S. contributions as well as the
promotion of U.S. citizens for posi-
tions within the organization.
The result is a U.S. mission which
feels it has neither the full support of
the Bureau of Inter-American Affairs
nor the Office of International Orga-
nizations. And, this division of respon-
sibilities has severely impacted U.S.
nationals employed by the OAS. In
the latest round of staff reductions,
U.S. employees were disproportionate-
ly affected, especially those in policy
positions. They never felt that they
had adequate support from either the
Office of International Organizations
or the U.S. mission.
Moreover, due to our neglect or :
maybe lack of foresight, the OAS is.
going unused in helping to solve the
myriad of problems in the hemisphere.
The resulting financial crisis in which
the OAS finds itself could possibly
cripple it so that it becomes less
useful.
I believe this small but significant.
change brought about by this amend-
ment will improve how we use the
OAS and protect U.S. interests there.
In sum, for U.S. policy to be effec-
tive at the organization, I believe all
functions related to the OAS need to
reside in the Bureau having Latin
American expertise. There needs to be
one person responsible for formulating
policy, assigning responsibilities for
carrying out that policy, and at the
same time having all the tools avail-
able to successfully implement that;
policy.
My amendment would remove the
division of responsibility, making one
Person, one Bureau accountable for

Mr. SOLOMON (during the read-
ing). Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous
consent that the amendment be con-
sidered as read and printed in the
RECORD.
The CHAIRMAN. Is there objection
to the request of the gentleman from
New York?
There was no objection.
Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Chairman, this
amendment is aimed at ..reinforcing
compliance, with the tripartite agree-
ment on Southern Africa which was
signed in December by South Africa,
Angola, and Cuba.
The amendment has three compo-
nents.
First, it specifies that no funds
under authority of this act for fiscal
year 1989 can be provided in support
of the Tripartite Agreement until the
President certifies to Congress that
our government has received explicit
and reliable assurances from the three
countries involved, that all Cuban
troops will be withdrawn from Angola
by July 1, 1991?as required by the
agreement.
The President would also have to
certify that the Secretary General of
the United Nations has the same un-
derstanding about the withdrawal of
Cuban troops.
It would also require the President
to report to Congress at any time he
determines that any of the three coun-
tries, who have signed the agreement,
commit a material breach of it.
Mr. Chairman, we all hope the tri-
partite agreement succeeds, but we
also have our fingers crossed.
This amendment is aimed at rein-
forcing the administration in its deal-
ings with South Africa, Angola, and
Cuba.
Second, this amendment would cut
off United States funds under this bill
in support of the agreement at any
time Cuba violates the agreement.
Third, this amendment has a report-
ing requirement. . .
The tripartite agreement' has a
series of phased withdrawals and rede-
ployments of Cuban troops.
The President will have to report to
Congress within 15 days after every
such scheduled benchmark about how
the three countries are living up to the.
agreement. ?
The United States has to hold their
feet to the fire to keep this agreement
together.
This amendment gives the adminis-
tration the clout to do that
Mr. BROOMFIELD. Mr. Chairman,
I rise in support of the amendment
Mr. Chairman, I want to express my
strong support for the amendment of-
fered by the gentleman from New
York fMr. Sotozroxl.
The amendment has the support of
both the majority and the minority
and I believe the President and the
American people will be well served by
Its inclusion in the bill. ? '
In December 1988. the Reagan ad- --
ministration concluded nearly 8 years

an election process leasing to Namib-
ian independence. At the same time,
Cuban troops have begun a phased re-
deployment and withdrawal from
Angola scheduled to be completed by
July 1. 1991.
I support these agreements and I
think the Reagan administration
should be commended for its diligent
and tireless efforts in bringing the par-
ties to the conflicts together to
achieve this important diplomatic
breakthrough.
Mr. SOLOMON'S amendment requires
the President to certify that he has re-
ceived explicit and reliable assurances
from Cuba, Angola and the UN Secre-
tnry General that all Cuban troops
will be withdrawn from Angola by
July 1, 1991. This should not be a diffi-
cult task, as long as we are all reading
the agreements in the same way.
I think this provision protects the
President from any misunderstanding
that might arise as to the exact mean-
ing of the provisions of the accords. If
all the Cuban troops are not with-
drawn from Angola by July 1, 1991, no
one will be able to claim that the ac-
cords were, nevertheless complied
with.
In addition, Mr. SOLOMON'S amend-
ment conditions U.S. funding of peace-
keeping in southern Africa for fiscal
year 1990-91 on Cuban compliance
with the scheduled redeployment and
withdrawal of Cuban troops from
Angola.
I support the diplomatic accomplish-
ments of the Reagan administration in
southern Africa, but I share Mr. Soto-
mon's concern that the United States
not be required to fund implementa-
tion of these accords if one of their
primary purposes?the total withdraw-
al of Cuban troops from Angola?is
not being achieved.
0 1430
Mr. McEWEN. Mr. Chairman, I
move to strike the last word.
Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of
the amendment of the gentleman
from New York (Mr. Sotordom). Very
simply there is not a person in this
room that would sign a contract, deliv-
er the money first and then hope that
the other party delivers on it. I do not
care if we are going to carpet a home
or build a wing on our house, let alone
have our freedom at risk, without
making sure that before the money is
released that we get what we agreed to
In return.
Mr. Chairman, there has been a
commitment made by those in
SWAPO and those in Angola that
they would meet various deadlines.
The first of those was later on this
month. They have already violated it.
SWAPO has already entered Into Na-
mibia with their AK-47's and other
Soviet equipment that was in violation
of the agreement that they signed.
There is reason to believe that before
the United States commits this money
permanently that there should be
some guarantee from the other side
that they meet the deadlines in the
agreement.
Mr. Chairman, I think that the gen-
tleman has made a commonsense ap-
proach to what needs to be done in
this area, and I hope that the adminis-
tration will follow through.
As I read the amendment, however, I
see nothing to guarantee that the ad-
ministration will not release these
funds immediately and thereby have
no leverage left should the Cuban or
Angolan forces renege. That does
cause me a concern.
Mr. Chairman, I have an amend-
ment that would say that the money
would be escrowed until such time as
the elections are held or until such
time as all the Cuban troops are with-
drawn from Angola in accordance with
the agreement. If this amendment is
not approved, then I think that that
would be the appropriate step to
make.
Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Chairman, will
the gentleman yield?
Mr. McEWEN. I yield to the gentle-
man from New York.
Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Chairman, I ap-
preciate the opinion of the gentleman
from Ohio [Mr. McEwEN]. The gentle-
man is a distinguished member of the
Permanent Select Committee on Intel-
ligence and certainly one of the most
informed Members of this House.
Let me just say, Mr. Chairman, that
I have the same concern because
under my amendment there is nothing
technically to stop the President of
the United States from issuing a check
In full for all of the appropriated
money in advance, however that is not
the legislative intent of this amend-
ment.
As a matter of fact, if I might just
read a portion of the amendment, it
states that within 15 days after every
benchmark on the timetable for
Cuban troop redeployments and
phased withdrawals the President
would have to report to Congress on
the status of compliance by South
Africa, Angola and Cuba with the
terms of the tripart agreement.
Now it goes on then to say, "And the
President shall also report to Congress
if and when he determines that one of
the parties to the agreement has com-
mitted a material breach of the agree-
ment."
Then United States funds would be
cut off at any time in which Cuba vio-
lates the tripart agreement.
Mr. McEWEN. Mr. Chairman, re-
claiming my time, it is the intention of
the gentleman from New York (Mr.
SOLOMON] then that the reason for re-
porting is to condition additional pay-
ment of the obligation that the United
States has undertaken and that the
United States State Department would
not circumvent this amendment by
making a premature payment, before
elections or complete Cuban troop
withdrawal.
Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Chairman, if
the gentleman would yield further,

that is exactly the intent of the
amendment.
Just, for example, again there is a
deadline of November 1989 when 50
percent of the Cuban troops are to be
out of Angola. Now then April 1990,
which is about 5 months later, two-
thirds of them must be out. I just read
part of the amendment which states
that even between these two periods
when the President determines that
those troops have not been removed
on time or have gone back in across
that parallel, then he is authorized to
stop payment. He knows that is the
intent of that amendment.
Mr. McEWEN. Mr. Chairman, I
thank the gentleman from New York
[Mr. SOLOMON] for his contribution. I
believe he has made an excellent addi-
tion to the legislation.
Mr. DYMALLY. Mr. Chairman, will
the gentleman yield?
Mr. McEWEN. I yield to the gentle-
man from California.
Mr. DYMALLY. Mr. Chairman, the
gentleman from New York (Mr. SoLo-
mobi) spent a great deal of time negoti-
ating this amendment with the com-
mittee. We are satisfied it moves in
the right direction, and we support it.

Mr. SOLARZ (during the reading).
Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous con-
sent that the amendment be consid-
ered as read and printed in the
RECORD.
The CHAIRMAN. Is there objection
to the request of the gentleman from
New York?
There was no objection.
Mr. SOLARZ. Mr. Chairman, a few
years ago we adopted legislation re-
questing an annual report from the
administration on voting practices at
the United Nations. That annual
report resulted in the submission of an
analysis which is publicly available
which creates the percentage of times
that every country in the United Na-
tions has voted with the United States
on the votes on which we cast ballots
ourselves. It also has a section which
indicates what we consider to be the
top 10 votes or the ten most important
votes in the United Nations, and it in-
dicates how each country In the
United Nations voted on each of those
ten issues, and then finally there ia a
provision listing the votes in the Secu-
rity Council and how the members of
the Security Council voted on them.
Mr. Chairman, I think this informa-
tion has been useful, but, like our Am-
bassador to the United Nations, Mr.
Pickering, like the Department of
State and like many Members of both
Houses, I have felt for some time now
that his information does not go far
enough and perhaps provides an im-
plicit misleading impression of how
other countries voted in the United
Nations. Consequently, in an effort to
provide the Congress and the people
of our country with a more compre-
hensive, a more detailed, a more in-
formed analysis of how other coun-
tries are voting at the United Nations,
my amendment would do the follow-
ing:
First, Mr. Chairman, it would leave
intact the current provision requiring
a rank ordering of every country in
terms of the percentage of times they
voted with us on all recorded votes
before the United Nations. However,
second, it will provide a new report
which would require a presentation of
literally every vote cast in the United
Nations in terms, not only of the
number of times other countries voted
with us, but how often they abstained,
how often they were absent and how
often they voted in the negative. It is
Important to include information on
abstentions .and absences because
often in the peculiar and bizarre world
of the United Nations the fact that a
country has abstained or is absent
may actually be in the interests of the
United States. Third, the amendment
would also provide that instead of a
report lLsting how other countries
voted on the 10 most important issues
before the United Nations, it would
substitute a report on how other coun-
tries voted on all those issues we
deemed important enough to lobby on,
which would include undoubtedly the
10 votes which are now listed among
those which are most important, but
probably an additional 20 or 30 votes
that we thought were of sufficient sig-
nificance to induce our mission to the
United Nations to lobby on.
Another section of the amendment,
Mr. Chairman, would require a report
on consensus voting at the United Na-
tions. Many of the issues which come
before the world organization are re-
solved by consensus, and, if we are
going to get a complete picture of how
other countries are voting at the
United Nations, we need to know not
only how they voted on recorded
votes, but we also need to know the
April 12, 1989
issues on which a consensus was
achieved.
0 1440
Finally, the report would also re-
quire somewhat more extended analy-
sis of the votes in the Security Council
and the extent to which other coun-
tries in the Security Council voted
either with us or against us.
I am pleased to say that this amend-
ment has the support of the adminis-
tration. It enjoys the support of Sena-
tor KAT= in the other body who ini-
tiated I believe with my friend on the
other side of the aisle, the gentleman
from New York [Mr. Sonoraou], .the
legislation requiring the reports we
now have.
I think Un- adoption of this amend-
ment, in conclusion, would give us the
best of all possible worlds, the infor-
mation we already have plus some ad-
ditional information whi :11 can flesh
eat the total picture of how other
countries vote in the United Nations.
Mr. DYMALLY. Mr. Chairman, will
the gentleman yield?
Mr. SOLARZ. I yield to the distin-
guished chairman of the subcommit-
tee, my dear friend, the gentleman
from California [Mr. DYMALLY1
Mr. DYMALLY. Mr. Chairman, this
process refines the whole process in
the United Nations, and we support
the measure.
Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Chairman, will
the gentleman yield?
Mr. SOLARZ. I yield with great
pleasure to the gentleman from New
York [Mr. Soweto/el, my former col-
league on the Foreign Affairs Committee who has gone on to other reponsi-
bilities on the Rules Committee, but-
who clearly remains seized of these
great international issues.
Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Chairman, I
thank the gentleman for his kind com-
ments.
Let me say I sorely miss the Foreign
Affairs Committee, but it is nice to be
Involved again a little bit. ?
As the sponsor of that legislation
which created the reporting require-
ments in this House a few years ago, I
strongly support the gentleman's
amendment. The gentleman's amend-
ment goes further and makes clarifica-
tions. I think it is an excellent amend-
ment and it will go a long way I think
toward giving us the results that we
want, and I commend the gentleman
and support his amendment.
Mr. SOLARZ. Mr. Chairman, I
thank the gentleman for his support,
and I want the gentleman to know
that we miss him almost as much as
he misses us.
Ms. SNOWE, Mr. Chairman, will the
gentleman yield?
Mr. SOLARZ. I yield to my very
good friend, the gentlewoman from

the United Nations and how they

AMENDMENTS OFFERED BY MR. SOLOMON
Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Chairman, I

mous consent that they be considered
en bloc.
The CHAIRMAN. Is there objection
to the request of the gentleman from

There was no objection.
The CHAIRMAN. The Clerk will

eign Affairs of the House of Representatives
and the Committee on Foreign Relations of

Congresa concerning the purposes jointly
agreed to by the President and the United
Nations.",
Mr. SOLOMON (during the read-
ing). Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous
consent that the amendments be con-
sidered as read and printed in the
RECORD.
The CHAIRMAN. Is there objection
to the request of the gentleman from
New York?
There was no objection.
Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Chairman, I
will be as brief as possible.
Mr. Chairman, the amendment deal-
ing with arrearages makes a noncon-
troversial addition to the language al-
ready in the bill. The bill provides for
the Government to begin paying back
Past U.S. arrearages to the United Na-
tions with the understanding that the
President of the United Nations will
come to an agreement about where
these payments will be applied.
My amendment would simply re-
quire the President prior to making
any such payments of these arrearages
to report to the relevant committees
and subcommittees of Congress about
the agreement he has reached with
the United Nations where our funds
are to go. This is a simple reporting re-
quirement on a matter which is very
important to the Congress.
Mr. Chairman, I would like to com-
mend my former chairman of the Sub-
committee on International Oper-
ations and Human Rights, the gentle-
man from Pennsylvania [Mr. Yivraori]
for his part in the negotiations on this
amendment.
Let me explain the other amend-
ment, Mr. Chairman, which will take
just a little more time, because it is of
more importance, I think. This amend-
ment would maintain congressional in-
volvement in the ongoing process of
reforming the United Nations, which
is in bad need of reform. Four years
ago Congress enacted what has
become popularly known as the Solo-
mon-Kassebaurn amendment. That
amendment set in motion a historic
public dabate which has led to reforms
in the United Nations. The initial Sol-
omon-Kassebaum amendment focused
on the need to reform the budget
process in the United Nations. A seri-
ous impasse had developed in which
countries primarily from the develop-
ing world which had an overwhelming
voting majority in the U.N. General
Assembly were ramming through
budget after budget that were opposed
by the United States and other coun-
tries which provide an overwhelming
lion's share of the U.N. money.
In the fall of 1985, our good col-
league from the other side of the aisle,
the gentleman from Florida, Mr. Mica,
and myself, served as delegates to the
U.N. General Assembly. We took the
message right to New York that Con-
gress was serious about budgetary re-
forms.
Now, most people up here did not be-
lieve us in the beginning, but we per-
sisted and we put the message across. I
can report to the House today that a
significant reform in the U.N. budget
process in which the view of a donor
country like the United States is given
proper weight. These have been put in
place. The consensus-based budget is
now a reality in the U.N. General As-
sembly and many specialized U.N.
agencies, especially the World Health
Organization, have enacted similar
and important reforms.
Mr. Chairman, there were some sub-
sequent revisions and additions to the
original Solomon-Kassebaum amend-
ment that raised other important con-
cerns. These concerns include the need
to streamline a bloated U.N. secretar-
iat bureaucracy and the need to cur-
tail the practice which the Soviet
Union abuses with the integrity and
Independence of the International
Civil Service by placing their citizens
who are employees of the United Na-
tions on short-term contracts; in other
words, a short lease from the KGB to
tell them, "You do this or else we
bring you right back home."
I wish I could report as much
progress on these two issues as I can
on the budget; but the fact is that we
still have a way to go and there has
been some progress, but not nearly
enough.
Ambassador Pickering was in my
office just last week. He acknowledged
that we still have quite a way to go, es-
pecially on the issue of Soviet second-
ed employees.
My amendment keeps these con-
cerns on the congressional front
burlier and it would require the Presi-
dent or his designated representative
to consult with this Congress and the
relevant committees of Congress
whenever our Government is making
its full annual assessed payment to the
United Nations.
The guts of this amendment says
that 20 percent of that payment would
be withheld from the United Nations
pending this congressional consults-
tion. The executive branch would have
to show us whether or not the budget
reform process continues to function
well and the executive branch would
also have to report on progress in re-
ducing the U.N. secretariat staff and
getting seconded under control.
Mr. Chairman, this is not microman-
agement. This bolsters the administra-
tion in its efforts to apply pressure to
the United Nations. The U.N. reform
effort was initiated by this Congress.
Congressional involvement has been
its driving force ever since. We have to
keep as it. We have a long way to go.
Let us keep the pressure on them and
accept these amendments.
Mr. DYMALLY Mr. Chairman, will
the gentleman yield?
Mr. SOLOMON. I am glad to yield
to the distinguished chairman of the
subcommittee.
Mr. DYMALLY. Mr. Chairman, this
Is a good amendment and we support
It.
Ms. SNOWE. Mr. Chairman, will the
gentleman yield?
Mr. SOLOMON. I am glad to yield
to the distinguished gentlewoman.

gentleman from New York has long'
been a leader in budgeting administers. ?
tive reforms at the United Nations.

panding our efforts by offering these
two amendments here today. I think
they are both important because they
continue to place pressure on the
United Nations to follow through on
their budget reform in the budgetary
process that was adopted last year be-
cause of the Solomon-Kassebaum
amendment.
Second, I think it is necessary to
have reports on how the arrearages
are being used. As is stated in the leg-
islation, it will be for mutually agreed
upon purposes. I think it is essential to
insure that they go for items and pro-
grams that are necessary and impor-
tant to the advancement of the United
Nations and on issues that we agree
with.
Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Chairman, that
was the gentlewoman's legislation that
she wrote into the bill and I commend
her for it, because it goes a long way I
think toward getting the real results
that we want, which is a better work-
ing United Nation.

The CHAIRMAN. The question is on
the amendments offered by the gen-
tleman from New York (Mr. Sow-
mos).
AME'NDMENT OFFERED BY MR. SOLOMON
Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Chairman, I
offer an amendment.
The Clerk read as follows:
Amendment offered by Mr. SOLOMON:
Page 67, line 4, strike "Of" and insert "(1)
Subject to paragraph (2), of".
Page 67, after line 10, insert the following:
(2)(A) Except as provided in subparagraph
(B), none of the funds made available pursu-
ant to paragraph (1) may be obligated or ex-
pended during any Period for which any in-
dividual, who has been expelled from an-
other country for engaging in activities in-
consistent with their diplomatic status, is
admitted to the United States and accredit-
ted to serve as a representative to the
United Nations.
(B) The President may waive the provi-
sions of subparagraph (A) if the President
determines, and so notifies the Congress,
that such a waiver is in the national secuity
interests of the United States.
Mr. SOLOMON (during the read-
ing). Mr. Chairman I ask unanimous
consent that the amendment be con-
sidered -as read and printed in the
RECORD.
The CHAIRMAN. Is there objection
to the request of the gentleman from
New York?
There was no objection.
Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Chairman, I
will be very brief.
This amendment deals with recent
reports in the New York and Washing-
ton newspapers that call our attention
to this headline which says, "Moscow
Pushing To Get New KGB Chief Into
the United States." Might I say that
the Soviet Union has been trying to
get one of their top KGB people into a
senior post at the Soviet mission here
in the United Nations, and, Mr. Chair-
man, that is wrong.
Mr. Chairman, what this amend-
ment simply says is that the adminis-
tration, this President, shall have the
right to prevent any foreign agent who
has been expelled from a foreign coun-
try for spying activities from serving
here in the United States and the
United Nations. It has a proviso that
says that the President may waive this
provision of subparagraph (A) if the
President determines and so notifies
the Congress that such a waiver is in
the national security interests of the
United States.
I think this is a fair amendment. It
will send notice to the Soviet KGB
that we do not want spies running
around this country.
Mr. Chairman, I yield back the bal-
ance of my time.
Mr. DYMALLY. Mr. Chairman, I
move to strike the last word.
Mr. Chairman, we have no objection
to the amendment.

AMENDMENT OFFERED BY MR. GILMAN
Mr. GILMAN. Mr. Chairman, I offer
an amendment.
The Clerk read as follows:
Amendment offered by Mr. GILMAN:
Not withstanding any Other provision of
this Act, the United States Information
Agency shall continue to promote scholar-
ships at United States universities for Tibet-
ans living in exile at at least the current
level.
. 0 1550
Mr. GILMAN. Mr. Chairman, in the
fiscal year 1987 State Department au-
thorization act 15 scholarships at U.S.
universities have been set aside, on an
annual basis, for Tibetans living in
exile. The program has been adminis-
tered under the guidance of USIA and
is considered a success. This amend-
ment will ensure the continuation of
this worthy program.
By assuring the possibilities of ad-
vanced education, the United States
would help young Tibetans to stay on
the refugee settlements, thereby per-
petuating the Tibetan community and
culture in exile. Currently, their cul-
ture is being threatened with extinc-
tion in Tibet. Education would help
them to survive until they can go back
home.
Accordingly. I urge adoption of this
amendment.
Mr. DYMALLY. Mr. Chairman, will
the gentleman yield?
Mr. GILMAN. I yield to the gentle-
man from California.
Mr. DYMALLY. Mr. Chairman, we
accept the amendment and ask for an
"aye" vote.
Ms. SNOWE. Mr. Chairman, will the
gentleman yield?
Mr. GILMAN. I yield to the gentle-
woman from Maine.
Ms. SNOWE. Mr. Chairman, I have
reviewed the gentleman's amendment
and certainly it is acceptable.
The CHAIRMAN. The question is on
the amendment offered by the gentle-
m riwitlifinitel;trozeteligtror. GgoinnawAN].
Mr. PANETTA. Mr. Chairman, I
move to strike the last word.
(Mr. PANETTA asked and was given
permission to revise and extend his re-
marks.)
Mr. PANETTA. Mr. Chairman, I thank you
very much for the opportunity to speak today
during reauthorization of the State Department
programs for fiscal years 1990 and 1991. I
rise for the purpose of encouraging expanding
the capability of the State Department,
through its Foreign Service Institute as well as
through its already-existing Office of Language
Services, in the important areas of translation
and interpretation. I understand that you have
had an interest in this area for some time, and
I appreciate your interest and support. As you
may know, I have long been active in working
to better this Nation's foreign language and
international education capability.
In this context, as you know, in the past I
have introduced legislation that would elevate
the Office of Language Services to a Bureau
of Language Services within the Department.

April 12, 1989
CONGRESSIONAL RECORD ? HOUSE H 1087
The purpose of establishing the Bureau would
be to expand the translation and interpretation
services that the Office now provides for the
Department and for the Federal Government
as a whole. I understand that at this point, it
would be difficult to establish such a Bureau
for a number of reasons. Therefore, I am in-
stead proposing that the Department's trans-
lation and interpretation capacities be aug-
mented by expanding training programs of the
Foreign Service Institute, which trains our dip-
lomatic corps, in close cooperation with the
Office of Language Services.
As you know, the availability of competent
linguists for translation and interpretation serv-
ices is necessary for the effective conduct of
U.S. foreign policy, and is, moreover, vital to
our intelligence and international trade activi-
ties. Although some improvements have been
made in these areas by the State Department,
there is still a major gap between our need for
foreign language specialists and their availabil-
ity. The State Department's Director of Lan-
guage Services sometimes has difficulty find-
ing translators and interpreters for official
functions. He therefore must spend much time
searching for linguists to meet the growing
demand for their services, not only at State
but in other agencies as well.
There are also numerous instances, some
of them well-known, of how our lack of lan-
guage capability has harmed or embarrassed
us in international situations, including at cru-
cial times. For example, when the United
States Embassy in Iran was taken over by
militants in 1979, there was a crucial shortage
of Embassy personnel who spoke Farsi, and
this was a major handicap that contributed to
the crisis. When Soviet soldiers in Afghanistan
sought asylum in the U.S. Embassy in that
country, there were no personnel available
who spoke Russian. When President Carter
made a visit to Poland, an official American in-
terpreter turned a simple pleasant remark into
an embarrassing incident by giving the wrong
connotation to what the President had said. -
While such incidents reflect a general lack
of attention to foreign languages in this coun-
try that requires a much broader solution, ex-
panding the FSI's capability to complement
some of the functions of the Office of Lan-
guage Services would go far toward filling the
shortage in interpretation and translation serv-
ices. The Office needs support to:
Improve the translation and interpretation
services available to the FSI, the State De-
partment, and the President;
Provide a clearinghouse for collecting and
dissemination information on translation and
interpretation services among all U.S. agen-
cies;
Avoid duplication of work and promoting the
use of uniform methods of translation by
those agencies engaged in translation activi-
ties;
e* Strengthen. our overall foreign language *ca-
pability by enhancing the role of foreign lan-
guage specialists in the State Department and
the Government as a whole.
The Foreign Service Institute could be an
invaluable in-house training facility for these
purposes.
Therefore, Mr. Chairman, I strongly urge the
Foreign Service Institute to devote serious at-
tention to training translators and interpreters,
for the purpose of supporting and expanding
the capacity of the Office of Language Serv-
ices of the State Department, the Department
itself, and the entire U.S. Government in this
vital area. I deeply appreciate the chairman's
and subcommittee's interest and support on
this issue, and look forward to working on this
matter with you and the committee, as well as
with our colleagues in the Senate.
AMENDMENT OFFERED BY MS. SNOWE
Ms. SNOWE. Mr. Chairman, I offer
an amendment.
The Clerk read as follows:
Amendment offered by Ms. SNOWE: Page
72, after line 11, insert the following new
title (and amend the table of contents ac-
cordingly):
TITLE ?AGGREGATE LIMIT OF AU-
THORIZATIONS OF APPROPRIA-
TIONS
SEC. . AGGREGATE LIMIT OF AUTHORIZATIONS
OF APPROPRIATIONS.
Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Act, the total of the amounts author-
ized to be appropriated by this Act (and the
amendments made by this Act) for fiscal
year 1990, and the total of the amounts au-
thorized to be appropriated by this Act (and
the amendments made by this Act) for fiscal
year 1991, are each hereby reduced by
$125,000,000.
MS. SNOWE (during the reading).
Mr. Chairman, I ask .unanimous con-
sent that the amendment be consid-
ered as read and printed in the
RECORD.
The CHAIRMAN. Is there objection
to the request of the gentlewoman
from Maine?
There was no objection.
Ms. SNOWE. Mr. Chairman, as re-
ported out of committee, this legisla-
tion reduces the administration re-
quest by $132 million. My amendment
would essentially double those savings
by cutting an additional $125 million
from the overall level in this bill.
Earlier, I was prepared to offer indi-
vidual cutting amendments for fund-
ing in this bill. But I decided that it
would be better to offer a single
amendment to reduce the overall au-
thorization level.
This amendment simply states that
the funding provided in this bill shall
be reduced by $125 million. It gives the
administration flexibility in deciding
how to guide those reductions. I have
discussed this cut with the administra-
tion. While obviously the State De-
partment would like all the funding
requested, the administration will still
support passage of this bill if my
amendment is enacted.
The State Department's original re-
quest for a funding increase of 18 per-
cent is much more reasonable than
might first appear. Fully 12 percent of
that increase goes to fund built-in
United States obligations to pay for
full funding of the United Nations,
international peacekeeping, implemen-
tation of the United States-Israel
transmitter agreement, and comple-
tion of the RFE/RL Radio Moderniza-
tion Program.
If not for those major unavoidable
increases, this would be the tightest
State Department budget request in 6
years. Their existence, however, makes
it even more important for us to re-
strain other increases in this bill.
My amendment would pare back the
15.5-percent increase in this bill to 13.7
percent. This will still be sufficient to
fund the four major increases I al-
ready discussed, as well as provide full
inflation for the State Department. It
will, however, require the State De-
partment to make decisions and estab-
lish priorities. Given unprecedented
fiscal constraints, the Department
simply will not be able to move ahead
with all of its preferred new initiatives
for next year.
There are many ways this cut can be
achieved. Delaying completion of the
new campus of the Foreign Service In-
stitute can save about $40 million. De-
laying the third stage of the renova-
tion of the Bonn Embassy would save
another $12 million. Cutting commit-
tee add-ons above the administration
request can save $50 million.
All the administration has to do,
then, is identify $23 million in other
cuts from this $4.8 billion bill to
achieve the modest reductions con-
tained in my amendment.
I could have offered a much deeper
across-the-board cut. But while deficit
reduction is vitally important, we also
have an obligation to achieve those re-
ductions in a responsible way.
It is important for us to remember
that the State Department doesn't run
programs. It staffs and maintains em-
bassies abroad and the State Depart-
ment building here in Washington. A
substantial cut beyond what I am pro-
posing would mean widespread firings
and shutting down consulates and em-
bassies abroad.
Some may argue against' this amend-
ment by saying that every penny of
the 15.5-percent _growth in the State
Department's budget contained in this
bill is vitally important. I wonder,
however, how many other Federal
agencies?particularly domestic agen-
cies?will even receive full inflation in
fiscal year 1990, much less enjoy in-
creases of 15.5 percent.
This is an amendment that 'is both
fiscally responsible and programmati-
cally responsible, and I urge its adop-
tion.
AMENDMENT OFFERED BY MR. BERMAN TO Tee
AMENDMENT OFFERED BY MS. SNOWE
Mr. BERMAN. Mr. Chairman. I
offer an amendment to the amend-
ment.
The Clerk read as follows:
Amendment offered by Mr. BERMAN to the
amendment offered by Ms. Ssowe: at the
end of the amendment, insert:
SEC . SENSE OF ODNGIUM CONCERNING THE
FUNDING OF CERTAIN ACCOUNTS.
It is the sense of the Congress that not-
withstanding any aggregate limit on author-
izations of appropriations under this Act,
certain accounts and programs should be
funded to the full extent to which such ac-
counts and programs are authorized to be
appropriated under this Act for each of the
fiscal years 1990 and 1991, particularly the
following:
(1) "Emergencies in the Diplomatic and
Consular Office".

Including the additional authorization of ap-

(8) "National Endowment for Democra-
cy".
(9) Television Marti Service under part B
of title II of this Act.
(10) Construction of a Broadcasting Relay
Station in Israel as authorized to be appro-
priated under section 401(c).
Mr. BERMAN (during the reading).
Mr. Chairman. I ask unanimous con-
sent that the amendment to the
amendment be considered as read and
printed in the RECORD.
The CHAIRMAN. Is there objection
to the request of the gentleman from
California?
There was no objection.
Mr. BERMAN. Mr. Chairman, I will
be very brief. This amendment pro-
vides the sense of Congress that cer-
tain specified programs within the au-
thorization bill that we are now con-
sidering not be considered for cuts
within the cut. It accepts the premise
of the gentlewoman, though I would
prefer that we come closer in our
figure to the administration's request,
but it accepts that premise. It simply
indicates that key initiatives, diplo-
matic security, U.N. peacekeeping,
some of the issues we have fought and
debated on the House floor here, it is
the sense of Congress that those cate-
gories be protected when the State De-
partment decides what cuts it wishes
to make. It does not impact on the
gentlewoman's cuts.
I would ask for support, and I be-
lieve the gentlewoman has no objec-
tion to this amendment.
Mr. DYMALLY. Mr. Chairman, I
move to strike the last word.
Mr. Chairman, the Berman amend-
ment to the Snowe amendment is a
good one. I do, however, want to make
note of one portion.
The chairman of the Foreign Affairs
Committee noted today that we are
down to the bone, barebones on this
budget.
The Secretary of State does not like
any further cuts, and I just want to
make that observation.
With that, I accept the amendments.
The CHAIRMAN. The question is on
the amendment offered by the gentle-
man from California [Mr. BERMAN] to
the amendment offered by the gentle-
woman from Maine [Ms. SNowE].
The amendment to the amendment
was agreed to.
