the agreed-upon language, notwithstanding
the fact that such changes might be in the
direction of the Administration's prefer-
ence..
I therefore urge'you to consider adopting
the enclosed compromise patent provision
in lieu of sections 113 (a) and (b) of S. 1283
as passed.
I would also like to point out that the
compromise document is silent on the issue
of compulsory licensing, section 113(c), of
privately developed energy patents. We un-
derstand that Senator Hart is desirous of in-
cluding some form of compulsory licensing
in the final version of S. 1283. -The Admin-
istration, however, is strongly opposed to the
inclusion of any such provision. Any com-
pulsory licensing provision must be regarded
as a fundamental departure from the concept
of a free enterprise patent system.
We appreciate your consideration of these
views, and are hopeful the conferees will deal
with these important issues in an accept-
able way.
If you would like any additional informa-
tion or if I can be of assistance, please call.
With warmest regards,
Sincerely,
ROY L. AsH,
Director.

I hope at that time the chairman may
be so taken by the merits of that amend-

lowing:
"(b) The Congress finds that, due to rising
world food, fertilizer, and petroleum costs,
human suffering and deprivation are growing
in the poorest and most slowly developing
countries. The greatest potential for signif-
icantly expanding world food production at
relatively low cost lies in increasing the pro-
,ductivity of small farmers who constitute a
majority of the nearly one billion people liv-
ing in those countries. Increasing the em-
phasis on rural development and expanded
food production in the poorest nations of the
developing world is a matter of social justice
as well as an important factor in slowing the
rate of inflation in the industrialized coun-
tries. In the allocation of funds under this
section, special attention should be given to
increasing agricultural production in the
countries with per capita incomes under $300
a year and which are the most severely af-
fected by sharp increases in worldwide com-
modity prices."

POLICY ON THE INDEPENDENCE OF ANGOLA,
MOZAMBIQUE, AND GUINEA-BISSAU
The Senate bill contained a provision which
expressed the sense of the Congress with re-
spect to the independence of and. U.S. assist-
ance to Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea-
Bissau.
The House amendment did not contain a
comparable provision.
The House receded with an amendment
striking two paragraphs in the statement
which the committee believed lacked felicity
of expression and making other minor
changes in diction.
CONVENTIONAL WEAPONS TRANSFER
The Senate bill contained a provision
urging the President to propose to the Ge-
neva Conference of the Committee on Dis-
armament that it consider discussions on
limitations on conventional arms transfer,
and requiring a report 6 months after enact-
ment on steps taken to carry out this pro-
vision.
The House amendment contained a pro-
vision amending section 511 of the Poreign
Assistance Act to express the sense of the
Congress that the President propose a U.S.
draft international agreement for regulat-
ingw the transfer of conventional weapons
among the governments of the would. No
report was required.
The House receded.
CARIBBEAN DEVELOPMENT BANK
The Senate bill contained a provision au-
thorizing the President to permit Puerto

opment Bank.

sion substantially the same as the Senate
provision, but, required prior approval by the
Secretary of State.
The Senate receded.
December 17, 1974
ASSISTANCE TO PORTUGAL AND ITS FORMER
COLONIES
The Senate bill authorized $5 million for
grants and $50 million for loans to Portugal
and to countries which were Portuguese col-
onies prior to April 25, 1974, limited Portu-
gal's share to 50 percent of this amount, and
expressed support for the democratic gov-
ernment in Portugal.
The House amendment did not contain a
comparable provision.
The House receded with an amendment re-
ducing the authorization to $25 million, of
which $5 million is to be in the form of
grant assistance.
The committee of conference also agreed
to delete a provision in the Senate bill which
limited assistance to the Government, of Por-
tugal to 50 percent of the amount author-
ized and appropriated and all of the sub-
section expressing the sense of the Congress
with respect to support of the Government
of Portugal.
The committee of conference would have
been more receptive to the level of assistance
for Portugal if there had been a budget re-
quest for aid to Portugal and the committees
had held hearings on the request.
INTEGRATION OF WOMEN
The Senate bill contained a provision re-
questing the President to instruct each
United States representative to an interna-
tional organization, including the Interna-
tional Bank for Reconstruction and Develop-
ment (IBRD), Asian Development Bank
(ADS), Inter-American Development Bank
(IDB), International Monetary Fund (IMF).

the Organization for Economic Cooperatiozi
and Development (OECD) to operate In a
manner to encourage and promote integra-
tion of women into national economies.
The House amendment did not contain [i
Comparable provision.
The House receded.
POLICY WITH RESPECT To COUNTRIES MOST
SERIOUSLY AFFECTED BY FOOD SHORTAGES
The Senate bill contained a provision
calling upon the President to review and
reprogram U.S. food and fertilizer commit-
ments for the countries most seriously af-
fected by the food shortages, and to use
diplomatic efforts to get other countries
to do the same. This section also required
a report to the Congress 30 days after en-
actment of this act, and then quarterly, on
the following actions: a global assessment
by country of food needs for fiscal year 1975,
currently planned programing of Public Law
480 commodities by country and by value,
and steps taken to encourage the countries
to increase their participation in food assis-
tance or financing food assistance.
This section also placed a $350 million
limitation in fiscal year 1975 on the
amount of concessional food aid and $90
million on the amount of fertilizer that-
could be provided under foreign assistance
programs to countries other than those most
seriously affected by the economic crisis.
This section also called upon the Presi-
dent to proceed immediately to implement
the resolutions and recommendations of
the World Food Conference, and to report
to the Congress within 90 days after en-
actment on the implementation of the re-
solutions.
The House amendment did not contain a
comparable provision.
The House receded with amendments
which:
Eliminated all references to other acts:
Deleted the $350 million limitation on food
shipments and $90 million on fertilizer ship-
ments and In lieu thereof directed that not
more than 30 percent of concessional food
aid should be allocated to countries other
than those which are most seriously affected
by current food shortages, unless the Presi-
dent demonstrates to the appropriate corn-
