THE SECRETARY Or STATE,
Washington, D.C., June 30, 1969.
Hon., SPIRO T. AGNEW,
President of the Senate.
DEAR MR. PRESIDENT: I enclose a draft of
legislation to amend the Foreign Military
Sales Act (82 Statute 1320).
PURPOSE OF THE LEGISLATION
On October 22, 1968 the Congress enacted
the Foreign Military Sales Act which con-
solidated and revised into a single act legis-
lation to authorize sales by the United States
Government of defense articles and services
to friendly countries and international or-
ganizations. The primary purpose of the pro-
posed legislation is to amend Section 31 of
the Act by deleting obsolete authorization
and aggregate ceiling figures, and substitut-
ing new figures for FY 1970; and to amend
Section 33 of the Act to extend the regional
.cegs on military assistance and foreign
military sales to Africa and Latin America. In
addition the proposed legislation would make
technical changes in Section 3(b) of the Act
(the Pelly Amendment) which changes -are
explained In the detailed Section-by-Section
Analysis of the Foreign Military Sales Bill
attached to the draft bill.
COST AND BUDGET DATA
The proposed ceiling on the aggregate total
on the face amount of guaranties and credits
extended under the bill by the Department
of Defense during Fiscal Year 1970 is $350
million. In terms of obligational authority
the amount required within the proposed
statutory ceiling will depend on the relative
mix of sales financed by the extension of
credits and by the issuance of guaranties. As
is now required by existing law, 100% of the
face amount of any credit extended would
be applied against the proposed ceiling and
25 I of the face amount of any guaranty is-
sued would be recorded as an obligation
against the proposed obligational authority
as a reserve for the payment of possible
claims under such guaranty.
The President's budget for Fiscal Year
1970 requests new obligational authority of
$275 million under the Foreign Military
Sales Act to finance approximately $350 mil-
lion of credit sales made after June 30, 1969
through the extension of credits and
guaranties.
The Bureau of the Budget has advised that
there is no objection to the presentation of
this proposed legislation and that its enact-
ment would be in accord with the program
of the President.
Sincerely,
SECTION-BY-SECTION ANALYSIS OF FOREIGN
MILITARY SALES BILL
The bill amends the Foreign Military Sales
Act (P.L. 90-629) in the following respects.
SECTION 1
This Section makes the following changes
to section 3(b) of the Act, which prohibits
sales to countries who seize American fish-
ing vessels in international waters, in order
to perfect the intent and Implementation of
the restriction:
(I) The words "for engaging in fishing"
have been substituted for "engaged in fish-
ing" to make it clear that the restriction is
aimed at Seizures because of fishing ac-
tivities.
(ii) A new sentence has been added to
make It clear that the restriction does not
apply where the seizure is lawful under an
international agreement to which the United
States is a party.
(iii) In lieu of an indefinite cut off of
sales after an unlawful seizure, the revised
language specifies that the period of in-
eligibility for sales shall be One year after
each unlawful seizure.
(iv) The words "Sales, credits, or guaran-
ties" have been substituted for "sold" to
make it clear that an unlawful seizure will
make the seizing country ineligible for fur-
ther contracts of credit or guaranty as well
as for further contracts for sale. This change
is not intended to require a cut off of the
pipeline of undelivered items or of undis-
bursed obligated funds.
(v) New language has been added author-
izing the President to waive the restriction
when he receives reasonable assurances from
the country involved that future violations
will not occur.
SECTION 2
This section amends section 31 of the Act,
which relates to authorization and aggregate
ceiling on foreign military sales credits. Sub-
section (a) deletes the obsolete FY 1969
authorization for appropriation of $296,-
000,000 and substitutes an authorization for
appropriation of $275,000,000 for the FY 1970.
Subsection (b) deletes the $296,000,000 ag-
gregate ceiling .On credits and guaranties ap-
plicable for the FY 1969 and substitutes a
ceiling for the FY 1970 of $350,000,000.
July 16, 1969
SECTION 3
This section amends section 33 of the Act,
which relates to regional ceilings on foreign
military sales.
Subsection (a) makes the FY 1969 ceiling
for Latin American countries a continuing
ceiling applicable in each fiscal year. No
change is made in the dollar amount. of the
ceiling.
Subsection (b) makes the FY 1969 ceiling
for African countries a continuing ceiling
applicable in each fiscal year. No change is
made in the dollar amount of the ceiling.
A ITIONAL COSPONSOR OF A BILL
Mr. TALMADGE. Mr. President, I ask
unanimous consent that, at its next
printing, the name of the Senator from
Massachusetts (Mr. KENNEDY) be added
as a cosponsor of S. 2548, to amend the
National School Lunchroom and Child
Nutrition Act of 19631, to strengthen and
improve the food service programs pro-
vided for children under such act.
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tem-
pore. Without objection, it is so ordered.
SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
35-CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
EXTENDING THE CONGRATULA-
TIONS OF CONGRESS TO ORGA-
NIZED BASEBALL UPON THE OCCA-
SION OF ITS CENTENNIAL YEAR
Mr. WILLIAMS of New Jersey. Mr.
President, we live in an age of great di-
vergence; a time of marked differences
of philosophy and of generation gaps.
However, we have one great common
denominator, the game of baseball.
At a baseball game, millionaires mix
with kids who collected soda bottles to
scrape up the price of a ticket. We can
see teenagers on their first date, grand-
parents taking their grandchildren to a
ball game, fathers and sons, and whole
families. With one swing of the bat by
a Frank Howard or the pitch of a Bob
Gibson, the crowd is as one.
Similarly, our age is one of great com-
plexity; of computer decisions and ma-
chine insensitivity. Baseball remains a
bastion of individualized human effort;
batter versus pitcher. As Mickey Mantle
once said, "You can't steal first base."
You have to earn it.
Baseball also represents a great part
of the American dream: the kid from
Broken Bow, Okla., or Harlem, N.Y.,
showing up in spring training, owning
only one suit and carrying as his only
luggage a bat and a wornout glove. From
that start, he can become a national
hero, This year, baseball observes its
100th anniversary, the highlight of
which will be the 40th annual All-Star
game here in Washington. Accordingly,
Mr. President, I submit for appropriate
reference a concurrent resolution com-
memorating these events.
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tem-
pore. The concurrent resolution will be
received and appropriately referred.
The concurrent resolution (S. Con.
Res. 35), which reads as follows, was re-
ferred to the Committee on the Ju-
diciary:
S. Con. RES. 35
Whereas, baseball is among the oldest out-
standing national games of the United States,

erce, of which I am a

tional economy; and such loans may be made
or effected either directly or in cooperation
with banks or other lending institutions
through agreements to participate on an
immediate or deferred basis.
These terms reflect the origins of the
SBA as the lending agency of last resort.
The purpose of the SBA was primarily
to make direct loan funds available at a
statutory rate of interest, in the event
that necessary financing could not be
obtained by small firms from commercial
sources. However, in order to stretch the
Government dollar and to allow maxi-
mum involvement of private financial
institutions, the act recognized the de-
sirability of immediate and deferred
participation arrangements.
There has been a recent trend toward
stating these guarantee powers expressly
in other statutes. For instance, in the
equal epportunity program (42 U.S.C.
2902), the following powers are set forth:
The Director is authorized to make, par-
ticipate (on an immediate basis, in, or guar-
antee loans, repayable in not more than
fifteen years to any small business con-
cern ...
I understand also that Senator Mc-
INTYRE, the chairman of the legislative
Small Business Subcommittee of the
Committee on Banking and Currency,
proposed on July 1 a parallel amend-
ment to the Small Business Investment
Act of 1958 which would be similar in
-effect to my bill.
Other explicit loan guarantee pro-
grams in the law include that of the
Export-Import Bank of Washington (12
U.S.C. 635) ; the aircraft purchase loan
program of the Civil Aeronautics Board
(49 U.S.C. 425) ; and loans for expediting
defense production (50 U.S.C. App. 2091).
Therefore, I believe it would serve a
useful purpose to add such strengthening
language to section 7(a) of the Small
Business Act.
This I feel would be especially timely
in view of the recent emphasis of SBA
on the guarantee program in several of
its new, and some of its older programs
also. In fact, an entirely legitimate ques-
tion is whether there is an overemphasis
irr this direction at the expense of the
direct loan activity originally favored
by the Congress.
On June 25, I pouted out in this RECORD
that the White House had reduced SBA
direct and participation loan authority
5811?, percent below the amounts author-
ized for fiscal year 1969 by the Congress.
I feel strongly that such treatment is not
in accord with the intention of Congress
that the SBA business loan program re-
main as the lender of last resort.
It is in periods of tight money such as,
81/2 percent and small business loans
scaled upward from this point, when this
Government lending function is most im-
portant. These SBA credit programs were
designed as a safety valve. But, because
of ?hese massive White House cutbacks
of the loan authority provided by Con-
gress, the safety valve has been almost
shut. In an effort to obtain some relief, a
letter was sent to President Nixon urg-
ingimmediate release of the $170.2 mil-
liorl in loan authority for direct, partici-
pation loans, and the SBIC lending pro-
grams. We have not yet received an
answer to this plea.
Unfortunately, as long as circum-
stances remain as they are, and -rock-
bottom minimums of SBA loan funds are
released by the Budget Bureau, we must
live with these conditions as best we
can. It is thus doubly important that all
SBA lending authority, particularly the
guarantee program, should rest on
sound legal basis.
Accordingly, I hope Congress will take
action on a priority basis to enact the
amendment which I am proposing, and
thus make the guarantee authority ex-
plicitly a part of the SBA series of loan
programs.
I ask unanimous consent that the text
of this bill be printed in the RECORD fol-
lowing my remarks.
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tem-
pore.'\.The bill will be received and ap-
propriately referred; and, without objec-
tion, the bill will be printed in the RECORD.

7(a) of the Small Business Act, intro-
