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, Approved For Release 2001/11/01: CIA-RDP71B00364R000300170001-6 Approved For Release 2001/11/01: CIA-RDP71B00364R000300170001-6 propriately re The bill (S. cotic, depress cinogenic dru self and Mr. twice by its mous consent.

S. 2638-INTROI UCTION OF A BILL TO AMEND TIFIE SMALL BUSINESS amend the Small to make explicit t loans to small busi As presently w section of the act word "guarantee. by the Small Bus nature, to write in t antee authority, th has always been to Section 7(a) of th reads as follows: The Administration President, I intro- te reference, a bill to ss firms. ess Administration, any Government or basis for its exist- m. My amendment ical and clarifying existence of which n for granted. Small Business Act s empowered to make business concerns to or to supply such co' terns with working capital to be used in the manufacture of articles, equipment,.su lies, or materials for war, defense, or civilian roduction Was may he necessary to insure a well-balanced na- ich came to the Com- erce, of which I am a S8183 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. The bill (S. 2638) to amend section 7(a) of the Small Business Act, intro- duced by Mr. BIBLE, was received, read twice by its title, referred to the Com- mittee on Banking and Currency, and ordered to be printed in the RECORD, as follows: S. 2638 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That sec- tion Ira) of the Small Business Act is amended- (1) in the first sentence, by striking out "make loans" and "such loans" and in- serting in lieu thereof "make or guaran- tee loans" and "loans made hereunder", re- spectively; (2) in clause (A) of paragraph (4), by inserting "or guaranteed" after "made"; (3) in paragraph (4), by striking out clause (C) and Inserting in lieu thereof "and (C) no loan made or guaranteed under this subsection, including renewals or ~x- tensions thereof, shall have a maturity ex- ceeding ten years except that such portion of a loan as is made for the purpose of con- structing facilities may have a maturity of fifteen years plus such additional period as is estimated may be required to complete such construction"; (4) in paragraph (5), by striking out "In the case of any loan made" and inserting in lieu thereof "In furnishing financial assist- ance"; (5) in clause (A) of paragraph (5), by striking out "such loan" and inserting in lieu thereof "any loan made or guaranteed hereunder"; and (6) in clause (C) of paragraph (5), by striking out "may not be made for a period or periods" and inserting in lieu thereof "shall not have a maturity".
