--House-Senate Conference action completed 2 August.
--Conference Report subsequently approved by voice vote
in both Houses and signed into law by the President.
--Key_ Provisions:
(a) Conferees receded from an amendment sponsored
by Senator Zorinsky (D., Neb.) which would have requi7ed
the Assistant and Dep_aty Assistant .to the President
for National Security Affairs to be appointed by and
with the advice and consent of the Senate; notwithstandirc
the recession, the Conference Committee in its report
made its opinion on this matter abundantly clear:
--to wit, "...it is essential that the Sec. Stte
be perceived clearly to be the principal officer
other than the President with responsibility for
formulation arid, implementation of foreign policy.";
--to wit, while the President should have
appropriate personal staff help in the White HouFe,
"[o]fficers who...enunciate and shape U.S. foreign
policy must be accountable to Congress."; and,

a Senate provision which would have provided two, rather
than one, annual round trips from the U.S. for dependents

uniformity in foreign national pay plans (through
regulations prescribed by the Sec. State) between State/
DOD and "other departments and agencies of the [U.S.'
operating outside the [U.S.]... " should be striven fcr.
[Reference: Tab C]

Congress; it has no legal force.

adopted a Senate amendment to Section 611 of the Foreign
Relations Authorization Act, FY 79, a Presidential
reporting requirement relating to U.S. laws discriminating
against U.S. citizen abroad. [Reference: Tab D]

the President an Assistant and a Deputy Assistant to the President for

The committee of conference is, however, deeply concerned about the
role of the President's Assistant for National Security Affairs and the
lack of his accountability to the Congress. The members of the con-
ference committee believe, it is essential that the Secretary of State be
perceived clearly to be the principal officer other than the President
with responsibility for formulation and implementation of foreign
policy. The President clearly should have appropriate personal staff
support in the White House to enable him to discharge his Constitu-
tional responsibilities. Officers, however, who enunciate and shape U.S.
foreign policy must be accountable to Congress. The committee of con-
ference believes that a thorough review by both the Congress and the
Executive of the function of the NSC structure and the specific role
of the Assistant. to the President for National Security Affairs is
necessary and should be conducted in the near future.

MORATORIUM ON THE COMMERCIAL KILLING OF WHALES
The Senate amendment stated se ral findings of the Congress with
espeot to the commercial killing of w ales and urged the International
haling Commission and all whalin nations to recognize and corn-
p1 voluntarily with a moratorium on t e commercial killing of whales
as dorsed by the United Nations Conf en.ce on the Human Environ-
men and the United Nations Govern' Council for Environment
Prog ms.
The Louse bill did not contain a compara le provision.
The nference substitute is iClentical to e Senate provision.
ASKS ANT TO THE PRESIDENT FOR NATIONA SECURITY AFFAIRS
The Sen te amendment established within t Executive Office of
the Preside t an Assistant and a Deputy Assistan to the President for
National Sei rity Affairs, who would be appoin d by and with the
advice and co sent of the Senate.
The House 1411 did not contain a comparable provi on.
The conferen e substitute does not contain a provi on on this issue.
The committe of conference is., however, deeply con rned about the
role of the Presic nt's Assistant for National Security ffairs and the
lack of his accou ability to the Congress. The menthe s of the con-
ference committee lieve it is essential that the Secretar of State be
perceived clearly tole the principal officer other than t President
with responsibility ftr formulation and implementation f foreign
policy. The President tlearly should have appropriate pet onal staff
support in the White Muse to enable him to discharge his onstitu-
tional responsibilities. Oteers, however, who enunciate and s pe U.S.
foreign policy must be actitountable to Congress. The committe of con-
ference believes that a tho?ough review by both the Congress rd the
Executive of the function f the NSC structure and the speci role
of the Assistant to the Pr i.dent for National Security Affa .s is
necessary and should be condt ted in the near future.
ADDITIONAL TRAVEL E XPENSICS FOR STATE AND ICA EMPLOYEES' k
DEPVTDENTS
The Senate amendment provid?for two, rather than one, annual
round trips from the United States or dependents of the Department
of State and International Collin)" icati on Agency employees, who
are obtaining an undergraduate colle e education, and whose parents
are serving in a post overseas.
The House bill did not contain a com rable provision.
The conference substitute does not cot sin a provision on this issue,
since the International Development C peration Act (H.R. 3324)
contains a similar provision which inchu the Department. of State,
the International Communication Agency, nd the Agency for Inter-
national Development.

laws discriminating against U.S. citizens abroad. The Senate amend-
ment would revise that provision to (1) change the required reporting
date from January 20, 1979, to January 20, 1980, and (2) substitute
the existing provision's policy statement with a statement that Ameri-
can statutes and regulations should be designed so as not to create com-
petitive disadvantage for American citizens living abroad and working
iiiiiilernational markets.
The House bill did not contain a comparable provision.
The conference substitute is similar to the Senate provision with an
amendment to change "and" to "or" to make it clear that the report
should include American citizens living abroad or working in inter-
national markets. It is the intent of the conferees that the word "citi-
zens" not include corporations and other juridical entities.
rrtivATE SECTOR REPRESENTA IVF,S ON U.S. DELEGATION TO THE WORLD

The Senate amendment exe )ted from certain conflict of interest

iated to speak on behalf of or resent the interest of the T7nited

Mr. ROBERT C. BYRD. I believe it

minutes. a
Mr. BAKER. In view of the fact, that
we are providing 4 tours, or perhaps
much longer; on one amendments it
might be well if we extended the time
on the hill a little. Thirty minutes '?is
fairly short. It would be 15 minutes to a

I see the distinguished Senator from\
Kentucky is in the Chamber, and if he re
has any objection to that, I will not "..
press it.
Mr. FORD. Mr. President, reserving
the right to object, toe question from
the minority leader is that he wants to
xtend the time on the bill itself?
Mr. BAKER. That is right.
Mr. FORD. I have no objection to that.
I will not object. I think the Senator is
going to be hard pressed to express his
views in 15 minutes on the bill.
Mr. BAKER. I will not be hard pressed
to express my views. I may be hard
pressed to convince the Senator.
Mr. FORD. That is one and the same.
Mr. ROBERT C. BYRD. Mr. President,
I ask unanimous consent that the time
on the bill be enlarged from 30 minutes,
under the previous oreer, to a total of
1 hour. The total is now 30 minutes,

be a total of 1 hour, to be equally divided

Thank you for your note regarding the amend-
ment to the Intelligence Authorization bill which
provided educational travel benefits for thg_student
dependentS of CIA and NSA_employees posted abroad.
I shall strongly support the retention of this pro-
vision in the final Conference version of the
Authorization bill.
I'd also like to thank you for publishing, in
your "Notes from the Director," the comments of
Senator Goldwater and myself regarding our genuine
respect and admiration for the service that the'
intelligence community has given to the country.
I was quite pleased that you communicated our grat-
itude to the men and women whose disciplined secret
work has done so much to protect and preserve our
democratic society.

LEGISLATIVE DEVELOPMENTS
FISCAL YEAR 1980 INTELLIGENCE AUTHORIZATION BILL
H. R. 2827
We are continuing to discuss various matters related to
the Bill with SSCI and HPSCI staff. Last week we gave HPSCE
our latest draft language on a criminal penalty for the
unauthorized disclosure of the identities of certain
intelligence personnel. We anticipate a formal request frau
EPSCI to present our case for relief from the FOIA and on
other Authorization Bill items at hearings next week.tU/IUCt
HPSCI staff, apparently after becoming aware of NSA
plans to seek statutory authority to adopt senior executive
service and merit pay prinbiples paralleling those in the
Civil Service Reform Act, last week asked for our reaction
to a draft provision that would give both CIA and NSA this
authority via the Authorization Bill. We responded that
while the thought was appreciated, the proposal would call
into question the sufficiency of our existing statutoty
authorities to accomplish the same result, impinge upon the
DCI's discretion regarding the termination of CIA empJoyees
under Section 102(c) of the National Security Act, and
unnecessarily limit our ability to adapt senior executive
service and merit pay principles to our unique needs.tU/IUDt
The Office of Management and Budget, meanwhile, contin2-)s
to deny official clearance for our death gratuity provision.
The sole remaining issue is whether the benefit should applv
only in cases of death due to hostile or terrorist action,
or whether (as we have maintained) a somewhat broader
standard (i.e., CIA affiliation as a material contributory
cause of death or death resulting from hostile or terroris:
action) should apply. OMB has been reluctant to make
comitments in the absence of Associate Director Randy
Jayne, who has discussed this issue with the DDCI. We
anticipate that Jayne will be calling the DDCI again early
this week. The standard we have proposed is narrower than
the broad "performance of duty" standard applicable to the
12tate Department's death gratuity. OMB argues that an
eEfort is under way to get State to agree to accept the
"hostile or terrorist" standard in connection with extenf,L2,
the benefit to all U.S. employees overseas.

CLASSIFICATION AND COMPENSATION ACT OF 1979
We have forwarded another forceful letter to the Office
of Management and Budget on the latest draft of this Adminis-
tration proposal to reform the Federal pay system. We are
insisting upon exemption from provisions that would give the
Office of Personnel Management and a newly created "Compensation
Agent" access to CIA information directly pertaining to
intelligence sources and methods. My staff intends to
follow up with a visit to OMB on the issue this week.(U/I110)
ANTITERRORISM LEGISLATION - S. 333/H.R. 2441
We have negotiated with both the SSCI and HPSCI staff
on amendments which would insure that classified reports
forwarded to the Congress under the terms of the legislation
are retained by our Oversight Committees. We will be
meeting with staff from other relevant committees in order
to explain the need for the amendments. (U/IUO)
TAIWAN ENABLING LEGISLATION
We expect the Conference Report to be issued by Wednesday.
Floor consideration hopefully will be concluded late in the
week, with White House signature following shortly thereafter.

FOREIGN SERVICE RETIREMENT AMENDMENTS of 1979 - H. R. 2691
This bill contains the same provision previously
introduced by Representative Claude D. Pepper (D., Fla.) Es
part of H.R. 632, the "Age Discrimination in Federal Emplcyment
Act of 1979," which contains, among other things, a proviEion
amending Section 102(c) of the National Security Act so aE
to prohibit the DCI from terminating an Agency employee
solely on the basis of age. Pepper apparently intends to
seek legislative action on the narrower bill first. H.R.
2694 would apply only with respect to service since 22
February 1979, the date of the Supreme Court decision in
Vance v. Bradley which upheld the constitutionality of the
mandatory Foreign Service retirement at age sixty. Pepper's
staff undoubtedly will realize eventually that an amendment
to CIARDS will be necessary to actually affect mandatory
retirement here. (U/I1J0)
