Attached for your information and review is a copy of another Senate version of the Department of State Authorization Bill. There are several provisions in this bill which are of interest to the Agency and which do not appear in the prior Senate version or the House-passed version. 2. Section 107 prohibits Federal officers and employees from soliciting funds from others to further objectives, including intelligence objectives, expressly forbidden under the law. Violation of this provision would be punishable by fine and/or up to five years in prison. Section 108 prohibits Federal assistance to a foreign country if the assistance would further illegal intelligence activity. Section 801 proscribes direct or indirect assistance to the Khmer Rouge or any group associated with it, except for humanitarian assistance. 3. Both Senate bills are scheduled for markup on 16 May. Should these provisions remain in the version voted out by the Foreign Relations Committee, we shall work with the Intelligence Committee before the bill goes to the Senate floor for a vote. We shall also keep you apprised of other actions taken regarding these and any other provisions which may affect the Agency. Should you have questions or comments, you may STAT telephone me on Attachment /Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/12/30: CIA-RDP93B00099R000300060006-7 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/12/30: CIA-RDP93B00099R000300060006-7 iS 4886 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD ? SENATE ated, and at the core of this legislation lies their findings. The equity achieved in this legisla- tion is indeed a reflection of the work and cooperation that came from all participants. I would like to thank .Senator SASSER for his work in bring- ing the States and the executive and legislative branches together again to work out a final draft of this legisla- tion which passed the full Senate last year and is being introduced today. For the record, I want to say a little about why this bill authorizes the ex- change of interest between the Feder- al C-overnment and the States. The in- terest exchange provision in the bi provides an incentive for the timel payment of funds. If this were a per- fect world, this provision would not be needed. But, unfortunately, experi- ence has shown that States don't always get funds from the Federal Government when they need them, and not all States have historically waited until they need funds, to draw tliem down. Clearly, we must develop cash transfer policies that are fair, uniform, predictable and enforceable. To accomplish this end, the bill uti- lizes the making whole concept in that whoever has use of the money pays for it, compensating the other party for any loss of investment opportunity. Added to the bill is authority for the Treasury Department to penalize an agency that. Is chronically poor in its cash management. There is a similar statute for the collection activity which was used as a model for dis- bursements in this legislation. It is also important to point out that States need not choose a funding option that ca/13 for the interest ex- change. Op ions are available that would not require the exchange of in- terest, and the U.S. Treasury will work with States to ensure a mutually agreeable option for the drawing down of funds. The bill calls for the estab- lishment of cash management prac- tices which allow that neither the Fed- eral or State Governments prosper or suffer financially as the result of the transfer of funds. I think it noteworthy that both the National Association of State Audi- tors, Comptrollers and Treasurers and the National Association of State Budget Officers have called for enact- ment of the ideas in this legislation. These groups have had members on the State/Federal Cash Management Reform Task Force since its inception, and they endorse the content of the bill, which closely follows the legisla- tion developed by the Task Force. The Congressional Budget Office has looked at this legislation for cost savings, and has concluded, based on past Treasury information, that it should save the Federal Government between $35 to $50 million a year. This bill can be a key to building a strong level of trust and confidence In the intergovernmental financing process, as it is based an tested principles that have been mutually agreed upon. This is a timely piece of legislation both in concept and in result. This bill is an excellent example of how the legislative process should work. It has been debated by the par- ties involved and a compromise, satis- factory to all, has been drafted for the consideration of Congress. Partners in this effort have been Senators on both sides of the aisle, the Treasury, and the States. The bill will save the tax- payer money, and will make govern- ment run more smoothly. Further it has previously passed the Senate. As I have said before, this is a piece of leg- hose time has come.. By Mr. PELL: ill to authorize appropria- Department of State. the ation Agency, and the nternational Broadcasting for? fiscal year 1990, and for other pur- poses; to the Committee on Foreign Relations. FORF-IGS RELATIONS AtrillORIZATICN ACT ? Mr. PELL. Mr. President, I am today introducing the. Foreign Rela- tions Authorization Act for fiscal year 1990. This legislation provides author- ity for the Department of State, the U.S. Information Agency, and the Board for International Broadcasting. In addition, it includes a significant expansion of U.S. global environment legislation and important policy provi- sions, including a ban on any assist- ance that might directly or indirectly benefit the murderous Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. ? This legislation increases funding for these foreign affairs agencies by $300 million over last year's appropri- ated levels. Most of this increase goes to meet US. treaty obligations to the United Nations and the specialized agencies. In the last year the United Nations has proven Its value, helping end the bloody Iran-Iraq War, helping bring peace and Independence to Na- mibia, and facilitating the Soviet with- drawal from Afghanistan. It is a source of embarrassment that the United States has not paid its dues to the United Nations and. this bill will help rectify that situation. Unfortunately, the budget summit agreement does not provide sufficient funding to pay for other essential in- creases in our foreign affairs agencies, Reluctantly, this bill defers the new transmitter for the VOA and Radio Free Europe that was slated to be built in Lsrael. In addition, we are unable to do more for the State De- partment and USIA than maintain current services. In some cases, this bill also makes real cuts. The failure to fully fund our foreign affairs agen- cies does real damage to our national security*, it is the tragic price we must pay for 8 years of spend, spend, borrow, borrow. This bill includes numerous policy provisions. I would like to call my col- leagues' attention to several. In the international environmental area. the May 4, 198.9 bill includes language cosponsored by Senators BrnEN, LUGAR, and myself to significantly expand our international programs including preliminary au- thorization for "debt for nature" swaps. A provision offered by Senates' Moyismas seeks to ensure respect for our Constitution by criminalizing ef- forts to circumvent congressional pro hibitior.s by having other countries do what we cannot. Finally, I would like to call attention to a human rights provision I consider paramount. This bill includes lan- guage to prohibit assistance of any 'dad to the Khmer Rouge and to any Cambodian military or political group in alliance or association with the Khmer Rouge. With the Vietnamese withdrawal at hand, we must ensure that there is no role in any future Cambodian Government for the mur- derers who slaughtered over ?1 million Cambodians in the 4-year period 1975- 79. Rather than accepting the Khmer Rouge as a part of the Cambodian landscape, as some in our Government have suggested, this bill urges the President to do what is necessary to bring them to the bar of justice for the crime of genocide. I ask unanimous consent that the text of the Foreign Relations Authori- zation Act for fiscal year 1990 be print- ed in the RECORD at this point. There being no objection, the bill was ordered to be printed in the Rzcosn, as follows: 8.928 ? . ?

(4) Slovakia has been the source of the largest and most recent wave of Czechoslo- vak emigration to the United States and ap- proximately three and a half million Ameri- cans are of Slovak heritage; (5) American tourists in Slovakia, many visiting relatives, often require consular as- sistance and this consular support could best be provided by a consulate in Bratis- lava; (6) Slovaks account for more than half of all Czechoslovak tourist travel to the United States and this travel, which should be en- couraged, could be expedited by an Ameri- can consulate in Bratislava; (7) The Slovak underground Catholic church is one of the most vibrant religious forces in Czechoslovakia and each year tens of thousands of Catholics make pilgrimages to Slovakia. (8) American outreach efforts in Slovakia have been hindered by the absence of a con- stant and direct American presence in Bra- tislava; (9) With its Hungarian.

S 4896 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD ? SENATE (B) while voluntary repatriation appears to be the best solution for most of the 320,000 Cambodian refugees and displaced Persons In Thailand, there are many of ape- cis.] humanitarian concern to the United States for whom resettlement opportunities must be preserved, including victims of tor- ture and human rights abuses, and family reunification cases; (C) while the overall rate of pirate attacks on refugee boats in the Gulf of Thailand is lower than in previous years, the numbers of rapes and abductions of refugees in- creased from 95 in 1987 to 185 in 1988, and the totals for dead and missing refugees in- creased more than five-fold. from 95 in 1987 ? to 501 in 1988; (D) United States rejection rates of refu- ? gee applicants for the orderly departure program from Vietnam reached nearly 80 percent in 1989, while in the previous decade these rejection rates never exceeded 10 percent. This unannounced policy change is unfair to the thousands of Vietnamese who. in response to a United States invita- tion for an interview, have been waiting, often for many years, for an opportunity to leave Vietnam safely and legally through the orderly departure program. (2)It is the sense of the Congress that: (A) the United States government should work with the government of Thailand and with other countries of the region, and with refugee resettlement countries, and with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, to amine that refugees and dis- Placed Persons continue to receive asylum and protection, and that resettlement op- portunities for refugees and others of spe- ? cial humanitarian concern are maintained. (B) first asylum countries in Southeast ? Asia should be urged to reinstate the prac- tice of providing adequate refuge for all asylum-seekers, while carrying out the screening of such Individuals. Efforts to ? combat pirate attacks on refugees should be continued and strengthened. (C) the United States government should advocate the policy that no repatriation of . asylum-seekers should occur until strong .: and effective procedures ere in place to guarantee that such ssylum-seeters will be ? rettnired to their countries of origin in con- ' Mons of safety and will not be subjected to persecution. (D) the United States should review proce- dures and criteria in the orderly departure Program to assure that family reunion cases and others who have received letters of in- ?. troduction for the United States are given reasonable opportunities to leave Vietnam. The United States should seek to establish a special resettlement program for former? - "re-education camp" prisoners and their im- mediate Amines. (c)Raroosts no Si:Rumex AFRICA?

(C) the policy-of the government of South .

( FINDINGS.?The Congress finds that: (A) while hundreds of thousands of refu- gees from Ethiopia remain in asylum in con- tiguous countries, serious internal violence In Sudan and Somalia has uprooted several million civilians and precipitated a major movement of refugees from both countries Into Ethiopia.; (B) the government of Ethiopia and the United Nations High Commissioner for Ref- ugees have been unable to provide adequate- ly for the humanitarian needs of the refu- gees from Sudan and Somalia now in asylum in Ethiopia; (C) continuing violence in Sudan and So- malia may lead to the arrival of additional large numbers of refugees into Ethiopia from both countries. . (2) It is the sense of the Congress that (A) the Secretary of the State should advise the government of Ethiopia and the United Nations High Commissioner for Ref- ugees of the strong concern of the United States government that the situation of ref- ugees from Sudan and Somalia should be improved to acceptable standards. (B) the Secretary of State should urge the government of Ethiopia to permit cross- border deliveries of food and other humani? tarian assistance to the people of Southern Sudan, in order to stem the further flow of Sudanese into Ethiopia. (C) the Secretary of. State shall report to the Congress by September 30, 1989 on the actions taken by the Government of Ethio- ? pia and the United Nations High Commis- sioner for Refugees to improve the living conditions of these refugees; measures the United States has taken and can take to assist in this regard, and the prospects for additional refugees movements from Sudan and Somalia.

(5) Eriscramtr.?This section shall take effect on enactment.? Mr. BIDEN. The steady drumbeat of news on the environment during the past 2 years has developed an omi- nous tone. Nearly every aspect of our globe's health has been shown to be on a serious downward trend, or worse than expected. In the United States, we pump well over 22 billion pounds of wastes into our Nation's air, ground and waters every year. Productive es- tuaries are devastated by oil spills of incredible proportions. Smog is a health threat to millions of urban resi- dents. Acid rain damages entire re- gions.. On .the global level, evidence that man is dramatically, saacrpossibly unal- terably, changing the world's climate Is gaining in credibility. Scientists have discovered that chloroflourocar- bons CCFC's3 do not simply disappear ? Into thin air. They become destructive particles in the highest reaches of our atmosphere. Carbon dioxide released from the burning of fossil fuels does not harmlessly dissipate. It increases in concentrations in the atmosphere to the point that massive disruptions in Earth's weather patterns are possible. Changes that will be required to ? slow and stabilize the presence of so- ? called greenhouse gases reach to the most basic aspects of everyday life in the industrialized and developing world. It does not mean a return to ? the stone age; that is an argument for those who do not want to face up to ? the damage we are causing. It does mean a new look at actions that were thought to be relatively innocuous a decade ago, such as the use of styro- foam cups, how our automobile air.... conditioners are recharged, or even ? what type of lightbulbs we use. ? The characteristics of this problem? ? the long lead time involved, the ? ocean's ability to store carbon dioxide only to release it years later, thereby -disguising the extent of the damage? represents a unique situation in which we must drop the preference for clear and indisputable evidence. We must act on the preponderance of proof that is developing. It will require polit- ical leaders of all stripes to take the most unusual step of taking serious ac- count of consequences on a time hori- zon beyond the next election. The potential effects of a rise in the Earth's temperature has elevated envi- ronmental concerns to a level unseen before. At a hearing before the For- eign Relations Committee last month, George Kennan pointed to the grow- ing international environment crisis as an equal to the threat posed by the weapons of mass destruction. Ambas- sador Kennan stated: alhe general lesson of what [scientist] are telling us is that we have a much short- er time than we think to put things to rights on this planet If our decendants are going to have any sort of civilized life in it . .We are going to have to take the leader- ship. There is no other country that could do It as we could it in bringing . . . the whole international community together in a far-reaching attack on this problem of the deterioration of the environment of the planet for the sustaining of human life. As Ambassador Kennan went on to state, there is a unexpected degree of recognition of this problem, an ex- traordinary achnowledgement that the risks are monumental. This is a mandate for action that we can build on. The wider the recognition of the threat global warming poses, the harder it will be for countries to sit on the sidelines. It is almost a valuable at- tribute of global warming that it cuts both ways?none escape blame for its cause and none escape it effects. Mr. President, as with any threat that has yet to manifest itself, there are those who urge delay. Several ar- guments have been raised in support of this course of inaction. Everyone can claim that they are only a small part of the problem. Even the United States, the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases, could make this claim based on our roughtly 25 per- cent share of the problem. But the fact that none of us can be fingered as the sole culprit does not mean we are all innocent, it means we are all responsible. It means each nation of the world must look to its own activities that contribute to this International problem and act appro- priately. For the United States, it means we must cut our carbon dioxide emission, our CFC emissions, our nitrogen oxide emissions. For Europe it may mean much of the same. For developing countries, it mean a review of their logging or agricultural policies, and finding a new path of economic growth. But for no one does it mean a retreat of standards of living, unless we move on this problem without thinking. The suggestions that the environment has to be abused for development to move forward must be rejected. Indeed, the record too often shows that destruc- tion of the environment is the surest May 4, 1989 way to undermine long-term develop- ment. Mr. President, there is a second ar- gument which, in effect, puts off action on global warming. The asser- tion that we cannot help other coun- tries prevent their environmental dis- asters until we have addressed all of ours. I find this notion to be a danger- ous excuse for other countries to resist action. We do not have a perfectly operat- ing economy, our hands are not com- pletely clean, but it is only in recent years that the realization has grown of how dirty they are. Other countries are looking at their own. The human race cannot allow the question of who has the dirtier hands to obscure the Issue that we all need to wash up. That is why I rise to state my strong support for the global warming provi- sions of the international environment title of the State Department reau- thorization bill Chairman PELL is in- troducing today. Senator LUGAR, Sena- tor PELL, and I have all worked to de- velop the details of the provisions and to incorporate them into this bill. They will provide immediate resources to an innovative approach to encour- aging environmental projects and pro- grams in developing countries. The program provides support for so-called debt-for-nature . swaps. Through these swaps, nongovernmen- tal organizations [NGO'sl have pur- chased commercial debt of a develop- ing country at a steep discount to its face value. The NGOs have then ex- changed that debt for a commitment of funds and resources by the host government in support of-a defined en- vironmental project. Thomas Lovejoy of the Smithsonian Institution is considered the father of this idea, a tremendous mechanism to multiply the value of each dollar in- vested in an environmental project. A number of these exchanges have been completed, including swaps in Ecua- dor, Costa Rica, the Philippines, and Bolivia. There are dozens of other countries that would benefit from swaps of this kind. It is our intention to offer an amendment in committee to provide an authorization of MP. to $50 million for this pro The Program tary of State to increase co of environmental effects of ment projects among all na eign assistance programs. Th institu- tion is in place to do this: the Develop- ment Assistance Council IDAClet the Organization of Economic Coopers.- tion - tion and Development. Through the DAC, all the world's major donors meet to discuss their strategies and experiences with devel- opment assistance. As debt-for-nature exchanges multiply the value of the dollar invested in the swap, so coordi- nation of bilateral assistance programs can dramatically increase the re- sources brought to bear on environ- Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/12/30: CIA-RDP93B00099R000300060006-7 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/12/30: CIA-RDP93B00099R000300060006-7 OCA 1623 - 89 SUBJECT: FY90 State Authorization Bill, S.928 STAT OCA/LEG) (16 May 89) Distribution: Original - Addressees (w/att) 1 - OCA Records (w/o att) 1 - D/OCA (w/o att) STAT 1 - (w/o att) 1 - OCA/LEG/Subject File: St Authorization (w/o att) 1 - Signer (w/o att) 1 - OCARead Library ?
