Last year Congress approved a two-year authorization of appro-
priations for foreign economic development assistance but only a
one-year authorization for the military assistance and sales 'pro-
grams, security supporting assistance, and the Indochina reconstruc-
tion program. This bill authorizes appropriations for fiscal year 1975
totaling $2,527,626,000 comprised of $2,240,500,000 for economic
assistance to Indochina (other than Public Law 480 assistance), secur-
ity supporting assistance, a new Middle East contingency fund, and
the foreign military assistance and sales programs; $259,400,000 in
supplemental authorizations for other economic assistance programs;
and $27,726,000 for United States contributions to meet the expenses
of the International Commission of Control and Supervision in Viet-
nam.
For many years the Committee on Foreign Relations has urged that
military and economic assistance authorizations be considered in
separate bills. In reporting a bill containing authorizations for both
economic and military assistance the Committee recognizes that on
the surface its action appears inconsistent with its traditional posi-
tion. However, this is a unique bill where military and economic aid
issues are inextricably combined, In Indochina, for example, the
Committee believes that the Senate should consider the total flow of
United States resources into South Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos and
that it would be inadvisable and confusing to try to deal with policy
toward those countries in separate economic and military aid bills.
Similarly, in the Middle East, the Committee's singling out this
region for special attention has .resulted in a mix of economic and
authorizations in two separate bills, as outlined in section 9 of S. 3473,
the State/USIA authorization bill passed by the Senate earlier this
year.
Next year the Committee fully expects to deal with foreign assistance
authorizations in two separate bills.

Section 11. Stockpiling of Defense Articles for Foreign Countries
In preparation for the hearings on this legislation the Committee
learned that since 1972 the Department of Defense has been stockpil-
ing arms and equipment for possible use by South Vietnam, Thailand,
and Korea in the event of future hostilities. In reply to a request for
information about a $490,000,000 item listed as "War Reserve Mate-
rials" under the Defense budget category, "Support of Other Nations,"
the Defense Department furnished the following explanation to the
Committee :
EXPLANATION FROM THE DEFENSE DEPARTMENT
The requested appropriation for War Reserve Materials
(WRM) is made up of two categories as indicated and defined
below :
WRM-Support of Allies (Equipment)
Costs for acquisition, storage and maintenance of war reserve
equipment and secondary items for Vietnam, Thailand, and Ko-
rean Forces. This constitutes the only equipment stockpiled and
earmarked specifically for use by the ROK, RVN, or Thailand
forces. Stocks will remain U.S. owned and controlled.
WRM-Support of Allies (Anvmwnition)
Costs for acquisition, storage and maintenance of war reserve
munitions for Vietnam, Thailand, and Korean forces. This con-
stitutes the only ammunition stockpiled and earmarked specif-
ically for use by the, ROK, RVN and Thailand forces. Stocks will
remain U.S. owned and controlled.
In order to obtain additional information concerning the stockpile
program the Committee asked the General Accounting Office to look
into certain aspects which are relative to the Committee's legislative
responsibility for foreign assistance matters. Following are pertinent
excerpts from the GAO's report to the Committee (GAO report
B-159451, July 17, 1974) :
EXCERPTS FROM REPORT TO TIIE COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN RELATIONS,
UNITED STATES SENATE BY TIIE GENERAL ACcoUNTING OFFICE
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE STOCKPILING OF WAR RESERVE MATERIALS FOR
USE BY UNITED STATES ALLIES (B-159451 )
We determined front DOD planning and programing docu-
ments that the approved force levels used to plan future re-
quirements included the estimated number of allied forces
that might need logistics support in future Asian hostilities.
Estimated allied requirements add to but do not replace U.S.
requirements.
DOD stocks of munitions and equipment have traditionally
been available for transfer to allies pursuant to appropriate
military assistance legislation, as well as for use by U.S.
Forces. Specific identification of war reserve stocks for pos-
sible future transfer to allies in DOD budget documentation
planning began with the development of the fiscal year 1972
Defense program. Sonic available assets were allocated for

this purpose in fiscal year 1973. However, funds were not re-
quested in budget submissions to the Congress until fiscal year
1974.
Items held in reserve that are planned for potential allied
use are not segregated from other reserve stocks, and almost
all the same kinds of items are also required as war reserves
for U.S. Forces. If necessary, the war reserves for allied
forces could be used to support U.S. Forces.
DOD planners for fiscal year 1973 allocwted $23 million of
its reserve :assets toward the total allied requirement; for
fiscal year 1974, $494 million was allocated. For fiscal year
1975, $529 million of the total procurement request has been
proposed for application toward 'allied requirements. Some
of each of the following types of items are proposed to be
procured from the fiscal year 1975 funds.
Small arms ammunition
Artillery ammunition
Tank recovery vehicles 1
Portable radar sets 1
Minor miscellaneous items
Army
Mortar ammunition
Tanks 1
Machine guns
Rocket launchers 1
Landing boats
Spares and repair parts
1 All new procurement of these items will go directly to U.S. Army
active and reserve units. The older pieces of equipment displaced by
the new procurement will go into the war reserve stockpile that
could be used to replace U.S. or (with proper authorization) allied
combat losses in some future conflict. Therefore this procurement, al-
though labeled as allied reserve, modernizes the U.S. Army Force
while increasing the total assets available as war reserves.
Air-to-ground munitions
Tanks, racks, adapters, and pylons
The stockpiling of defense assets for potential use by allies
adds 'another level to the DOD procurement abase. We pre-
viously mentioned that new Army procurement will mod-
ernize U.S. active and reserve units and the older articles
being replaced will make up the war reserve stockpile. It is
conceivable that once these U.S. Forces have. been modernized,
DOD will modernize the war reserve, and "thus make large
quantities of defense assets excess and available for transfer
to foreign governments, including those for which the stock-
pile was originally intended.
More importantly, however, is the fact that DOD has the
authority to decide what portion of the DOD inventory will
make up the approved force requirement level. Since the war
reserve for allies represents a portion of the total war reserve
in excess of U.S. approved force requirements, DOD can now
stockpile older items that would immediately become excess
upon replacement. If a future emergency arises overseas,
DOD could reduce the approved force requirement level and
immediately make the war reserve for allies available as

Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5
excess for transfer to whichever country may need them. All
this could be accomplished without adversely affecting the
total U.S. approved force requirements..
The Committee has approved a provision which. would require
1) that any stockpiling of military materials for foreign countries be
financed out of regular military assistance funds in all cases except
that of South Vietnam. In the case of South Vietnam, whose military
aid is financed through the Department of Defense budget, any stock-
piles would be paid for out of funds approved for such military aid;
and (2) that the cost of any materials already stockpiled which are
subsequently furnished to it foreign country be charged against funds
available for military assistance and, in the case of Vietnam, against
any ceiling established for military aid to that country.
The Committee believes that if a stockpile for foreign military
forces is warranted it should be justified as a part of the regular for-
eign aid program and paid for out of foreign aid funds.
Subsection (a) of the new section 515 provides that no funds, other
than funds made available under the Foreign Assistance Act or sec-
tion 401 (a) (1) of Public Law 89-367 (80 Stat. 37), or any subsequent
corresponding legislation, may be obligated or expended for the pur-
pose of stockpiling any defense article or war reserve material, in-
cluding the acquisition, storage, or maintenance of any war reserve
equipment, secondary items, or munitions, if the article or material is
set aside, reserved, or in any way earmarked or intended for future
use by any foreign country.
Subsection (b) provides that the cost of any article or material set
aside, reserved, or in any way earmarked or intended by the Depart-
ment of Defense for future use by, for, or on behalf of South Vietnam,
shall be charged against the limitation specified in section 401 (a) (1)
of Public Law 89-367 (80 Stat. 37), or any subsequent corresponding
legislation, for the fiscal year in which the article or material is set
aside, reserved, or otherwise earmarked; and the cost of any such
article or material set aside, reserved, or in any way earmarked for
future use by, for, or on behalf of any other foreign country shall be
charged against funds authorized under chapter T of part II of this
Act for the fiscal year in which sucli article or material is set aside,
reserved, or otherwise earmarked. No article or material may be made
available to or for use by South Vietnam or any other foreign coun-
try unless such article or material has been charged against the limita-
tion speecified in section 401 (a) (1) of Public Law 89-367 (80 Stat. 37),
or any subsequent corresponding legislation, or against funds author-
ized for military grant assistance under the Foreign Assistance Act.
Subsection (c) states that the new section shall not be construed as
conferring any new authority to stockpile defense articles for a foreign
country.
Section 1h. Costs of Military Assistance Advisory Groups and Mis-
sions
This section adds a new section 516 to the Foreign Assistance Act
which requires that all costs of U.S. military missions, groups, or
similar organizations, including pay and allowances of assigned mili-
tary personnel, be charged against funds made available for the mili-
tary assistance program. The purpose of the provision is to insure
that the funds approved by the Congress for foreign military assist-

ante shall bear the full costs of all activities related to the military
assistance program and thus accurately reflect the true cost of the pro-
gram to the taxpayer. As it is, the major costs for military missions
are now paid out of the Department of Defense budget, not the mili-
tary assistance account. For the 1975 fiscal year the Department of
Defense estimates that of the $74,418,100 to be spent for operation of
military missions and groups only $16,895,200 will be paid from for-
eign military assistance funds. The remainder, $57,522,900, would be
paid from appropriations for the Defense Department, absent the en-
actment of this provision. Of the sixteen U.S. military missions in
Latin America, for example, there are only two missions where any
operating costs are paid from appropriations for military aid, a total
of $306,400 charged to MAP whereas Department of Defense funds
are used to pay $10,341,800 for operating costs of the sixteen missions.
The following table gives cost data for each of the forty-three U.S.
military missions.

The new section 516 provides that an amount equal to each sum ex-
pended under any provision of law, other than section 504 of the For-
eign Assistance Act, with respect to any military assistance advisory
group, military mission, or other organization of the United States
performing activities similar to such group or mission, shall be de-
ducted from the funds made available under section 504, and (1) if
reimbursement of the amount is requested by the agency of the United
States Government making the expenditure, reimbursed to that
agency, or (2) if reimbursement is not requested, deposited in the
Treasury as miscellaneous receipts.
Section 13. Termination of Authority-Phase Out of Military Grant
Assistance and Military Missions
Section 13 will phase out military grant assistance programs, other
than training, and U.S. military missions and groups over a period of
Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5
Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5
three years. The foreign aid bill approved by the Committee last year
would have phased out military grant assistance and military missions
and groups over a four year period, but the provision was deleted by
the Senate. Thus, section 13 reaffirms the policy endorsed by the Com-
mittee last year.
During the three year phase out period, countries now receiving
grant aid could obtain credit at a concessional interest rate of not less
than four percent, within certain limits. After September 30, 1977,
any grant assistance, other than training, for a country must be spe-
cifically authorized by Congress, as was done in the case of Israel last
year. Similarly, continuation of any military mission or group after
that date must also be authorized specifically by Congress. The provi-
sion also prohibits the training of foreign military forces outside the
United States after September 30, 1977 unless specifically authorized
by Congress.
The world of a quarter of a century ago, which spawned the foreign
military assistance proo-ram, bears little relation to the world of today.
The cold war is over. We United States is normalizing relations with
China and is pursuing a policy of detente with the Soviet Union. Yet
the policies of that era linger on in the military aid program. S. 3394
will phase out this relic of the past.
Under paragraph (1) of subsection (a) of the new section 517 the
President is required to gradually reduce assistance, other than mili-
tary training, so that, not later than September 30, 1977, no assistance,
other than training, shall be provided to a foreign country.
Under the new paragraph (2), deliveries could continue to be made
after that date on military grant aid for which obligations were made
prior to the cutoff date.
The new subsection (b) authorizes the President in each of the fiscal
years 1975, 1976 and 1977 to finance procurements of defense articles
and defense services, other than training, by any foreign country receiv-
ing defense articles or defense services during fiscal year 1974 under
Chapter 2 of Part II of the Foreign Assistance Act on terms providing
for payment in United States dollars (1) of the value of such articles
and services which value shall not exceed during each such fiscal year
the value of such articles and services (other than military training)
furnished that country in fiscal year 1974 under Chapter 2, (2) at a
rate of interest of not less than four per centum a year, and (3) within
ten years after delivery of the defense articles or rendering of the
defense services.
The new paragraph (c) (1) phases out, military missions and groups
by not later than September 30, 1977. By that date all the functions
of military assistance advisory groups or other organizations of the
United States Government performing similar activities in a foreign
country shall be transferred to the Chief of the United States Diplo-
matic Mission to the country.
This provision is designed to cover the phaseout of all types of mili-
tary personnel assigned to foreign countries who are engaged in activi-
ties involving the foreign military assistance or sales programs. Many
members of the U.S. armed forces are now being sent abroad, on mis-
sions of limited duration, in connection with the military sales pro-
gram, who are not formally assigned to a military mission or group.
The functions performed by these military men, in training foreigners

in the use and maintenance of arms and equipment bought in the U.S.,
could be handled in most if not all, cases by civilian technicians pro-
vided by the U.S. manufacturer. The net effect of the current practice
of using military instead of civilian contract technicians, is simply
to tie the U.S. Government even more closely to the interests of the
purchasing country. The use of U.S. military personnel aboard in con-
nection with the sales program is to be phased out along with regular
military missions and groups. After September 30, 1977 the sending of
such personnel to a foreign country must be specifically authorized.
For a number of years, the Committee has tried to reduce the num-
ber and size of U.S. military missions and groups abroad. There are,
for example, military missions to seven countries in Western Europe
where grant aid programs were terminated years ago. The 43 groups
and missions now in existence are also top heavy with rank, as shown
in the list below. Cost data on missions and groups is shown in the
list under the section concerning the funding of these organizations.

1 The ost of operating and maintaining TAFT's, U.S. project manager, and U.S. Corps of Engineers is fully reimbursed
by the recipient government.
2 Defense attache offices (DAO). In addition to their normal duties, defense attaches reflected above have some respon-
sibility for administration of security assistance. Bacajse the preponderance of time devoted to other duties, annual costs
for the security assistance functions is not usually isolated.
Note: In addition to the organizations listed above, the military departments assign personnel on a temporary-duty
basis to provide technical assistance to an ally or friendly foreign country. This function, organized as a mobile training
team (MTT) differs from a technical assistance field team (TAFT), in that the MTT's are of much shorter duration. The
cost of the MTT's are most often reimbursed by the recipient government and often constitutes a part of a larger sales
case.
New paragraph (2) limits the number of military attaches that
can be assigned to a U.S. diplomatic mission. It provides that on and
after October 1, 1977, the total number of military attaches assigned

Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5
to the United States diplomatic mission shall not exceed by more than
25 percent the total number of military attaches authorized to be
assigned to that mission on June 30, 1974. The purpose of this pro-
vision is to prevent the ballooning of the size of military attache groups
as the military missions and groups are phased out and their residual,
functions assumed by attaches.
New paragraph (3) requires that on and after October 1, 1977, no
military assistance advisory group, military mission, or other such
organization of the United States Government in a foreign country
shall be established or continued unless the group, mission, or organiza-
tion is authorized by law specifically for that country.
Subsection (b) makes appropriate changes in the Foreign Assist-
ance Act effective on October 1, 1977, in order to carry out the policy
encompassed in the preceding provisions.
Section 14. Termnination of Military Assistance to South Korea
This section, initiated by Senator Church, places ceilings on the
amounts available in each of the fiscal years 1975, 1976, and 1977 for
military grants and credit sales to South Korea and requires a phase-
out of all military grant,and credit assistance to that country over the
three-year period. The combined military grant/credit ceiling set by
the Committee for fiscal year 1975 is $133.95 million-three-fourths of
the total. grant/credit program in fiscal year 1974. Within this fiscal
1975 ceiling, no more than $91.5 million may be used for grants, includ-
ing grants of excess defense articles, three-fourths of the grant pro-
gram in fiscal year 1974. Beyond fiscal year 1975, the Committee pro-
vided for a steady phase-out of the grant program by placing addi-
tional ceilings of $61.0 million on fiscal year 1976 grants (one-half the
fiscal year 1974 grant level) and $30.5 million on fiscal year 1977 grants
(one-fourth the fiscal year 1974 grant level). The table below shows, in
millions of dollars, the fiscal year 1974 military aid program to South

The, Committee wishes to stress that these are ceilings only and in
no way constitute an endorsement by the Committee of aid to Korea
at these levels.
The Committee took this action because of its serious concern about
the increasingly repressive measures of the South Korean govern-
ment.
In addition, the Committee was mindful of the GAO recommenda-
tion that the United States "give more recognition to Korean finan-

Section 15. Authorization for Security Supporting Assistance
This section amends section 532 of the Act to authorize $585,500,000
for security supporting assistance activities in fiscal year 1975. This
authorization includes funds for the economic assistance portions of
the Middle East programs itemized and described in subsequent sec-
tions of the bill.

Section 16. Transfers Between Accounts
Subsection (a) amends section 610 of the Foreign. Assistance Act
in two major respects.
Paragraph (1) (9hanges the transfer authority contained in section
610 (a) to restrict its use only to transfers of funds between economic
assistance programs. Transfers of funds appropriated for economic
assistance programs for use in the military assistance program will
be prohibited.
Paragraph (2) of subsection (a) adds a new subsection at the end
of Section 610 which allows the President to transfer military assist-
ance funds allocated to a country under Section 653 of the Act, ether
than South Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos for which separate transfer
authority is provided in the new section 809, for use in development
assistance programs within that country. Such transfers are authorized
only within a country and not between overall program accounts.
Thus, funds allocated for military assistance in one country cannot
be shifted for use in development assistance programs in another
country.
Subparagraph (b) (1) Repeal of Special Authorities.-This provi-
sion, initiated by Senator Symington, repeals section 614: of the Foreign
Assistance Act of 1961.
Section 614 contains general authority for the President to waive

any of the restrictions or requirements of the Foreign Assistance Act
when he finds it "important to the security of the United States" to
do so. The waiver authority can be used to provide assistance each
fiscal year to the extent of $250,000,000 in dollars and $100,000,000 in
foreign currencies notwithstanding provisions in the Act which other-
wise would have prohibited the furnishing of the assistance. Under the
provision, up to $50,000,000 can be furnished to any one country in a
year through use of the waiver authority, but that limit does not apply
in the case of a country which is a "victim of active Communist or
Communist-supported aggression."
In effect, section 614 allows the President to override any of the re-
strictions Congress has required for the foreign aid program, unless
the restriction specifically states that it may not be waived through
use of the 614 authority. For all practical purposes, section 614 is a
blank check to the President signed by the Congress.
This authority can be used both to ignore restrictions in the Act, as
well as to override foreign aid funding decisions made by Congress in
the authorization and appropriation bills.
Section 610 of the Act authorizes the President to transfer funds
appropriated for one purpose and use them for a different purpose.
However, there are limits to this transfer authority and the Committee
has in this bill, prohibited the shifting of economic aid for military
uses. Under existing law not more than 10% can be taken from one
appropriation category and transferred to another category. And the
category to which the funds are transferred cannot be increased by
more than 20 percent of the amount originally appropriated for that
purpose.
But, this restriction is more nominal than real since the President
can use the authority in Section 614 to waive those percentage limita-
tions. In 1970 this authority was used by the President to take $50.-
000,000 of the funds Congress had appropriated for economic aid and
convert it into.military aid for Cambodia, at a time when no request
had even been submitted to Congress for aid to that country.
Congress has given Presidents entirely too much power and author-
ity in using foreign aid funds. Repeal of section 614 will be a signifi-
cant step toward restoring Congress' power over the foreign aid purse-
strings.
Subparagraph (b) (2) makes technical changes in various provisions
of the Act to conform to the changes in section 610 and the repeal of
Section 614.
Section 17. Access to Certain Military Bases Abroad
This section would add a new section 659 at the end of the Foreign
Assistance Act of 1961 to make permanent law what is now section 29
of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1973 which was effective only for
fiscal year 1974.
The purpose of this provision is to insure that American newsmen
have access to overseas base facilities constructed or maintained by
United States funds and used by U.S. personnel to carry out military
operations. The American public, consistent with security require-
ments, has a legitimate right to be kept informed about activities con-
ducted from such facilities and they rely on the news media to perform
this service.

Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5
This provision, though general in scope, resulted from U.S. newsmen
being denied access to bases in Thailand, constructed with the tax
dollars of U.S. citizens, which are manned by U.S. military personnel.
The Committee believes that the provision. enacted last year has
achieved results and has decided that it should be made permanent.
Section 18. Prohibiting Police Training
Section 18, initiated by Senator Abourezk, would add a new section
660 to the Foreign Assistance Act which would prohibit use of foreign
assistance funds to provide training, advice or financial support for
police, prison, or other internal security forces, of a foreign country.
The prohibition will not apply :
(1) with respect to assistance rendered under section 515 (c) of the
Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, or with respect
to any authority of the Drug Enforcement Administration or the
Federal Bureau of Investigation which relates to crimes of the na-
ture which are. unlawful under the laws of the United States, or
(2) to any contract entered into prior to the date of enactment of
this section with any person, organization, or agency of the United
States Government to provide personnel to conduct, or assist in con-
ducting, any such program.
This provision will expand the prohibition in section 112 of the
Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 which was adopted by Congress last
year. As approved by the Committee and passed by the Senate the
provision that became section 112 would have prohibited all training
of foreign police and related forces. However, in conference a com-
promise was reached with the House which applied. the prohibition
only to training. This new provision, in effect, will carry out the objec-
tive endorsed by the Senate last year in S. 2335. The Committee's com-
ments on the prohibition proposed last year bear repeating here.
United States participation in the highly sensitive area of
public safety and police training unavoidably invites criti-
cism from persons who seek to identify the UnitedStates with
every act of local police brutality or oppression in any coun-
try in which this program operates. It matters little whether
the charges can be substantiated, they inevitably stigmatize,
the total United States foreign aid effort. In undeveloped
areas of the world, the costs of public safety program are
better left to be underwritten from local resources and the
United States assistance effort directed toward less sensi-
tive areas of social or economic development.
We have troubles enough with police/community relations
in our own society. The Committee believes that our govern-
ment's efforts would be better directed to this, and our own
crime problem, rather than trying to teach foreigners how
to run their police departments.
The prohibition is not intended to affect narcotics training by the
Drug Enforcement Administration or to be interpreted as barring
the routine sharing with foreign governments of information on in-
ternational crimes, hijacking, terrorist activities, and the like.
Section 112 of the Foreign Assistance Act, which is superceded by
this prohibition, is repealed.

Section 19. Ceiling on Assistance to C/tile
This provision, sponsored by Senator McGee, places a ceiling of $65
million on the total amount of assistance that can be provided by the
United States to Chile during fiscal year 1975. Of the overall amount,
not more than $10 million can be used for military grant assistance
and foreign military credit sales. The executive branch requested
a total aid package for Chile amounting to $84.9 million, of which
$21.3 million was for military assistance and credit sales.
These reductions and limitations on assistance to Chile are an ex-
pression of the Committee's concern about the continuing disregard
for the protection of human rights in Chile. The Chilean Government's
record in the human rights field is dismal indeed and the prospects for
improvement are not the most encouragin even with the news that
all of the recently-announced death sentences have now been coin-
muted to prison terms. This decision by Chilean authorities was of
critical significance during the Committee's consideration of the aid-
to-Chile issue. In the absence of it, the Committee would probably
have recommended a blanket cut off of all military assistance and credit
sales scheduled for Chile in this fiscal year. This is all but certain to
happen when next the Committee considers foreign laid legislation,
unless in the interim the authorities in Chile have acted decisively to
improve their record on the human rights issue.
Sections 20-27. Indochina
GENERAL COMMENTS CONCERNING ACTIONS BY TIIE COMMITTEE RELATING
TO INDOCHINA
In the course of its consideration of S. 3394 the Committee took
several related actions designed to reduce and limit further the scope
of United States involvement in Indochina. These include expenditure
ceilings, personnel ceilings, and authorization of economic assistance
by specific categories sand programs.
A central feature of this bill is a policy statement which calls on
the Executive Branch to take new initiatives designed to bring about
an effective, cease-fire throughout Indochina, to reduce arms shipments
to the area, and to bring about a lasting settlement of the issues which
have fueled the past quarter century of tragic conflict. In addition, the
Committee has set forth idelines for economic assistance designed to
ensure the effective utilization of such assistance as the Congress may
see fit to provide for the Indochina area in the future. It has also speci-
fied the types of assistance activities which may be carried out under
the authorizations provided for the 1975 fiscal year. The Committee
believes that the restrictions: and policy guidelines, it recommends
are appropriate for the United States' limited and diminishing re-
sponsibilities and interests in Indochina and that they will enhance the
prospects for a peaceful settlement of the unresolved political and
military issues in the area.
The specific Indochina items'in the Committee bill are explained in
detail in the section-by-section analysis of this report. In order that
the overall scope of the Committee's recommendations may be more
easily understood a summary of the major aspects follows:

ceilings on total obligations which may be incurred in fiscal year 1975
for economic and military assistance programs in South Vietnam,
Cambodia and Laos. Senator Symington proposed these ceilings.
In previous years similar restrictions were placed on United States
expenditures in Cambodia and Laos but this is the first time that all
three Indochina countries will have been covered and the first; time
that any ceiling has been placed on United States spending in
Vietnam.
The ceilings recommended for the three countries are : Vietnam
$1,280,000,000; Cambodia $347,000,000, and Laos $100,000,000, a, total
of $1,727,000,000 for the three. This compares with a total of $'),120,-
300,000 proposed for these programs by the Executive Branch. Thus,
the Committee recommends that the requested foreign aid program
for Indochina be reduced by $1,393,300,000. Comparative data is con-
tained in the following table :

Transferability of funds.-This bill permits the one-way transfer
of military support funds provided for South Vietnam, Cambodia, and
Laos to be used for war relief, reconstruction or general economic
development in those countries. The transfer authority, sponsored by
Senator Case, is a complementary feature to the overall ceilings. It
recognizes the desirability of allowing the Executive Branch a degree
of flexibility in the reallocation of overall U.S. resources., Since it is a
one-way authority, however, the Executive Branch is precluded from
using the transfer authority to increase military aid at the expense
of relief and economic programs. The Committee hopes that the Execu-

tive Branch will use the transfer authority to encourage a shift in
emphasis from military to political confrontation in South Vietnam
and Cambodia. The transfer authority could also be useful in the
context of possible negotiations to limit future outside military to the
two Vietnams.
Amounts
In acting on Executive Branch requests for military and economic
assistance the Committee has recommended amounts sufficient to meet
the basic needs of the recipient countries consistent with the policy
objectives set forth in the bill. The amounts recommended by the Coin-
mittee also take into account the recipient's ability to make effective
use of United States funds as well as the constraints on the United
States' ability to provide funds in a time of high inflation, sizeable
budget deficits, and economic uncertainty. here at home.
Within the overall ceiling of $1,280,000,000 for Vietnam, the Com-
mittee authorized $420,000,000 for general economic assistance, $330,-
000,000 less than requested by the Executive Branch. The balance of
the ceiling is made up of $160,000,000 in Public Law 480 commodities,
which the Executive Branch programmed for South Vietnam in fiscal
year 1975, and $700,000,000 for military support, the amount provided
in the Department of Defense appropriation bill.
The Committee not only reduced the Administration's request but
also included in the bill guidelines to insure more effective utilization
of any United States aid that may be approved in the future.
Although the economic problems of Vietnam are particularly com-
plex, the Committee's guidelines are also applicable to Cambodia and
Laos. The Committee expects the specific plans and performance
criteria which are called for in the guidelines to provide a basis for
evaluating AID and recipient government performance under the
fiscal year 1975 program and against which future Indochina aid re
quests may be critically examined. Moreover, the Committee believes
that specific guidelines are imperative as a means of ensuring that
whatever United States assistance is made available will be used
wisely. The Committee feels very strongly that it would be an abdica-
tion of Congress' responsibilities to make available vast amounts of
the taxpayers' money to be spent at the discretion of the Vietnamese
and AID.
In adopting these guidelines the Committee does not intend to com-
mit itself to support of continued aid to Vietnam at these or any other
levels. The Committee will consider the situation anew next year in the
light of developments.
The Committee recommends the authorization of $70,000,000 of
economic assistance to Cambodia. The amount provided is intended to
sustain Cambodia until a cease-fire can be arranged between the Phnom
Penh government and the Khmer insurgents. The reduction in the
Cambodian economic request also reflects the elimination of what the
Committee believes to have been "padding" in the program.
The war in Cambodia is clearly a civil war. The Committee staff
has reported that U.S. intelligence officials acknowledge that the
North Vietnamese play little or no role in the current fighting. Re-

ports from Cambodia indicate diversion grossly excessive use of
ammunition by the Cambodian military including massive amounts
of "harassment and interdiction" fire. It is also noted that the insurgent
Cambodian forces employ considerable amounts of United States am-
munition, particularly 105 mm. howitzer shells. Ammunition alone
accounts for over $300,000,000 of the proposed $391,300,000 Cam-
bodia program. The Committee believes that this amount should be
cut in half. Other economies could be realized if better leadership
were exercised on the government side. Accordingly, the Committee
has authorized $200,000,000 for military assistance in Cambodia, which
still appears quite large in view of the fact that the attacking forces
are only about one-fourth the size of the Lon Nol farces.
In any event, the war in Cambodia must be stopped and, as the
Committee has pointed out. in its policy recommendations, the United
States should take steps to establish contact with the Khmer insurgents
to do what is necessary in order to bring about a cease-fire at the
earliest possible (late.
In Laos, the Committee could find no valid justification for the
Administration's proposal to provide more military assistance dur-
ing a year of expected cease-fire than was provided during the past
year. Accordingly, the Lao military assistance program was reduced
from $90,900,000 to $55,000,000. The original request did not assume
cease-fire conditions and United States officials now believe $55,000,000
in military assistance should be sufficient.
United States economic aid in Laos is used primarily to support
the economy of the capital city of Vientiane. The $45,000,000 ap-
proved by the Committee should be sufficient, to accomplish that
objective. The existence of the authority to transfer military funds
to economic development purposes should provide an incentive to both
sides to hold down fighting and thus enable the Lao to use most
of the $100,000,000 total aid authorized for constructive or humani-
tarian. purposes.
United States policy in Laos is designed to facilitate the establish-
ment of peace and national reconciliation. To this end, United States
assistance must operate within the terms of the agreements on a
cease-fire and a coalition government signed by the Laotian parties
in February and September, 1973. Since that latter agreement estab-
lishes a Provisional Government of National Union, American aid
should be channeled through that government to the extent possible.
Also insofar as is possible, United States programs for humanitarian
assistance, reconstruction, and development should be available to all
areas of Laos and should be directed to wherever the need is greatest
and the assistance desired.
Specific Program Authorisations.-Upon the recommendation of
Senator Case, the Committee on Foreign Relations has specified that,
economic assistance to South Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos shall be
authorized in four major program categories. In the case of South
Vietnam, the Committee authorized specific amounts for projects or
programs -within each of the major categories.
The Committee has attempted to authorize a balanced program of
economic assistance for South Vietnam within the overall total au-
thorized. In so doing, the Committee expects detailed and regular re-
porting on the progress of each general. program and detailed descrip-

tions of any activities to be carried out under any sub-category within
the four major categories.
To insure that the objectives of each general program and each sub-
program are met, the Committee plans to conduct whatever site visits
and audits are necessary to monitor the programs.
The budget authorizations for the four general categories of activi-
ties and the line items for the sub-programs are austere, reflecting a
very significant reduction in the Executive Branch recommendations
for economic assistance to South Vietnam.. But, while severe, the eco-
nomic aid principles and political objectives sot forth in the bill are
designed to foster meaningful. economic development, expansion of
agricultural production and qualitative improvement in the life of
the people of Vietnam regardless of political persuasion. A limited
amount of funds is provided for resettling war refugees now living in
urban areas, although the Committee considers that present plans for
the program are inadequate.
The Committee is dismayed by reports of continuing waste and mis-
management in South Vietnam of United States assistance funds and
the failure to account adequately for the expenditure of funds made
available by the Congress. Under the tightly drawn budgetary pro-
gram recommended the Committee hopes to rectify this situation.
Section 20. Statement of Policy-Indochina
Section 20, initiated by Senator Humphrey, is a statement of policy
by Congress relative to the situation in Indochina.
Congress finds that the cease-fire promulgated in the Paris Agree-
ment on Ending the War and Restoring Peace in Vietnam has not been
observed by any Vietnamese party to the conflict. Hostilities of an
offensive and defensive nature still continue in South Vietnam. In
Cambodia, the conflict between insurgent forces and the Lon Nol gov-
ernment-has intensified resulting in widespread human suffering and
the near total collapse of the Cambodian national economy.
The Congress further finds that continuation of the military strug-
gles in South Vietnam and Cambodia is not in the interest of the
parties directly engaged in the conflicts, the people of Indochina or
world peace.. In order to lessen the human suffering in Indochina and
to bring about a true peace there, the Congress hereby urges and re-
quests the President and the Secretary of State to undertake immedi-
ately the following measures :
(1) Begin negotiations with representatives of the Soviet Union
and the People's Republic of China towards a mutually agreed upon
and. rapid de-escalation of military assistance on the part of the three
principal suppliers of arms and materiel to all Vietnamese and Gain-
bodian parties engaged in conflict.
(2) Take all necessary measures strongly requesting that the gov-
ernment, of the Khmer Republic enter into negotiations with repre-
sentatives of the Khmer Government of National. Union which will
lead to an immediate cease, fire and political settlement of the con-
flict. Use all available means to establish contact with the Khmer Gov-
ernment of National Union and to urge them to participate in such
negotiation. The United States should urge all Cambodian parties to
use the good offices of the United Nations or a respected third country
for the purpose of bringing an end to hostilities and reaching a polit-
ical settlement.

(3) Utilize any public or private forum to negotiate directly with
representatives of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, the Provi-
sional Revolutionary Government and the Republic of Vietnam to
seek a new cease-fire in Vietnam and full compliance with the provi-
sions of the Paris Agreement on Ending the War and Restoring
Peace in Vietnam.
(4) Reconvene the Paris Conference to seek full implementation
of the provisions of the Agreement of January 27, 19'73 on the part
of all Vietnamese parties to the conflict.
(5) Maintain regular and full consultation with the appropriate
committees of the Congress and report to the Congress and the Na-
tion at regular intervals on the progress toward obtaining a total ces-
sation of hostilities in Indochina and a mutual reduction of military
assistance to that area.
Section 21. Statement of Principles To Govern U.S. Economic Aid to
Indochina
Section 21, initiated by Senator Humphrey, is a policy statement
by Congress concerning the principles which should guide U.S. eco-
nomic assistance programs to Indochina.
Congress finds that after expending over a billion dollars in funds
for economic purposes in Indochina last year, and vast amounts in
previous years, that little in lasting economic benefit remains. A large
proportion of the funds expended has been used for consumable
items related to the war effort. Very little of our money has found
its way into capital investments of lasting productive benefit to
the people.
Congress calls upon the President and Secretary of State to take
immediately the following actions designed to maximize the benefit
of United States economic assistance.
(1) Organize a consortium to include the multilateral financial
institutions to help plan for Indochina reconstruction and develop-
ment ; to coordinate multilateral and bilateral contributions to the
area's economic recovery ; and to provide continuing advice to the
recipient nations on the use of their own and outside resources.
(2) Develop in coordination with the recipient governments, other
donors and the multilateral financial institutions a comprehensive
plan for Indochina reconstruction and economic development.
(3) Develop country-by-country reconstruction and development
plans, including detailed plans for the development of individual eco-
nomic sectors, that can be used to identify and coordinate specific
economic development projects and programs and to direct U.S. re-
sources into areas of maximum benefit.
(4) Shift the emphasis of United States aid programs from con-
sumption oriented expenditures to economic development.
(5) Identify possible structural economic reforms in areas such as
taxation, exchange rates, savings mechanisms, internal pricing, income
distribution, land tenure, budgetary allocations, and corruption, which
should be undertaken if Indochinese economic development is to
progress.
(6) Include in Indochina economic planning and programming
specific performance criteria and standards which will enable the
Congress and the Executive Branch to judge the adequacy of the

recipients' 'efforts and to determine whether, and what amounts of,
continued American funding is justified.
None of the foregoing is meant to imply continuation of American
financial commitment beyond the authorization provided. for in this
legislation.
Section 22. Authorization of Economic Assistance for South Viet-
nam, Cambodia, and Laos
Section 22 amends section 802 of the Foreign Assistance Act to
authorize apropriations for fiscal year 1975 to provide economic as-
sistance, other than Public Law 480 assistance, to Indochina. The Com-
mittee recommends an authorization of $550,000,000 for fiscal year
1975, a reduction of $389,800,000 from the Executive Branch request
of $939,800,000. This is an increase of $46,000,000 above the authoriza-
tion for fiscal year 1974. $449,000,000 was appropriated for this pur-
pose in fiscal 1974.

Section 23. Assistance to South Vietnamese Children
This section insures that $10,000,000 will be available for assistance
to child care programs in South Vietnam in fiscal year 1975, a $5,000,-
000 increase in the earmarking for that purpose from the fiscal year
1974 requirement. Funds for the child care program can be derived
from a combination of funds made available through the authoriza-
tion in this bill and local currencies. The Committee has approved a
specific line item of $8,200,000 for child care programs. Thus, an addi-
tional $1,800,000 must be made available in local currencies.
One of the most tragic results of the Indochina war is the plight
of millions of disadvantaged children left in its wake. The orphaned,
the maimed, and the homeless are continuing victims of the violence
in Indochina.
The Committee has noted the affirmative reponse of AID to the
Congressional mandate of last year.
Section 24. Limitations With Respect to South Vietnam
Section 24 contains limitations relative to South Vietnam which
will be added as a new section 806 to the Foreign Assistance Act.
The new subsection (a) of 806 establishes a ceiling of $1,280,000,000
on amounts that may be obligated in fiscal year 1975 for the purpose

of providing economic or military assistance to South Vietnam. Under

000,000 for Public Law 480 commodity assistance, and $420,000,000 for
economic assistance as specified in the bill.

Similar ceilings have been enacted in the past for Laos and Cain-
bodia. They were generally effective in both instances. Whereas actual
U.S. expenditures in Laos had consistently been almost twice what
had been previously reported to Congress before the ceiling was im-
posed, thereafter spending stayed substantially within the limits
prescribed. The ceiling was effective in Cambodia but it was allowed to
lapse in fiscal year 1974. The Executive Branch subsequently grossly
exceeded the overall amounts projected at the beginning of the year
for all categories of aid to Cambodia. Public Law 480 deliveries esca-
lated, for example, from a $30 million projection to $194 million. For
military assistance, the Administration originally requested $167,200,-
000. A total of $399,300,000 was ultimately used for that purpose,
including $250,000,000 in materials taken from Defense Department
stocks.
In Vietnam, the accounting under the Military Assistance Service
funded (MASF) program is now acknowledged to have been inaccu-
rate over the years. No one really knows how much was spent in Viet-
nam for military support between 1966 and 1973. When this fact came
to light, the Senate Committee on Armed Services acted decisively to
correct the many loopholes in the management and accounting for
this program. The inclusion of military aid in the ceiling for South
Vietnam is intended to complement the actions taken by the House of
Representatives and the Senate on the Department of Defense Appro-
priation Bill.
Paragraph (3) of 806(a) provides authorizations by major cate-
gories and by program or project under each of those categories.
'I'his provision and the specific authorizations for Cambodia and Laos
were initiated by Senator Case.
The Committee has approved four major programs for economic
assistance to South Vietnam. These are: (A) Humanitarian Assist-
ance; (B) Agricultural Assistance; (C) Industrial Development Aid
and (D) Miscellaneous which includes funds for purchase of petro-
leum and for support of the USAID mission in Vietnam.

Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5
Each of these four categories is complete in itself. No transfer of
funds between these four general categories is permitted except that
petroleum procured in Part D of the authorization may be used
for the support of any of the other three major programs. Transfers
within any of the subcategories of the four major categories of a
reasonable kind of response to changing circumstances are permitted
provided timely notice is given to Congress before any transfer is
carried forward.
Under an amendment, also initiated by Senator Case, approved by
the Committee, funds available for military assistance to Indochina
may be transferred for humanitarian relief and economic develop-
ment programs within each country, on a country-by-country basis.
Transfers cannot be made from one country to another. This discre-
tionary feature of the bill should assist further the development of
humanitarian assistance programs the Committee deems crucial for
Vietnam.
The most crucial of the programs approved for Vietnam is that
for humanitarian relief, for which the Committee has allocated $05,-
000,000. The Committee hopes that a concerted effort will be made to
prevent the use of United States funds for the support of so-called
refugees activities which have direct political or military objectives.
One way in which this can be done is to begin to provide more United
States support to voluntary and international agencies working in the
refugee field. This is largely a local cost program and the Committee
seeks to insure that both dollars and the piasters which they generate
are used for the intended purpose.
Assistance in agricultural production is the next most valid need
in South Vietnam. The Committee has recommended that $188,000,000
be used for this purpose. The Committee is of the view that AID
should move away from placing further emphasis on capital intensive
agriculture.

The Committee approved the full requests made for child care
and health care. Child care funds should be targeted to help provide
immediate necessities such as food stuffs and training supplies. More-
over, every effort should be made to bring child care concepts to foster
homes which are in dire need of upgrading. Every effort should also be
made to find ways to make child care centers sell-sufficient if possible.

Urban squalor, both in Saigon and other urban centers, is a result
of years of war. Hundreds of thousands of refugees try to make a
living as best they can under the circumstances. While this was pos-
sible when large numbers of American soldiers and support personnel
were in Vietnam, it is far more difficult today. Soaring inflation and a
depressed economy and the continuing war make the urban poor a
very real threat to the regime. If it is possible, to work out a land
acquisition program to relocate many formerly agrarian people, such
an effort should be supported. However the prospects for a rapid trans-
fer of poor urban families to the countryside seems diin.. Consequently,
only part of the request for the "City to Farm" program is approved
in this recommended budget.
The problem faced by the South Vietnamese government concern-
ing refugees and the urban masses was summarized in this way in a
recent report by the Committee staff :
"The refugees and urban unemployed present a real dilemma
to the Vietnamese government. If the people remain in the
camps and cities, they present a political problem as well as a
further welfare burden. on in already over-extended national
budget. Moving them to rural areas, as proposed, would shift
the economic support burden from the national budget to the,
people themselves and to the natural resources of the land-
presuming land is available. However, the transfer of people
out of camps and the cities creates a population control prob-
lem by exposing them to contact with the Viet Cong. The
compromise between military control and economic survival
is the placement of war victims on previously uncultivated
land in government controlled or marginally controlled areas.
But these new lands require large amounts of capital invest-
ment for roads and land clearing to make them accessible
and arable. The losers are the war victims themselves who
see destined to suffer no matter where they are."

ished lumber. But radical change will be needed for this to come about.
A significant problem is the continuation of the war which makes the
development of the forestry and rubber industries virtually impos-
sible. The war also diminished the amount of available crop growing
land-especially rice areas-and interrupted the food distribution
system.
Even in light of these conditions progress has been made, in expand-
ing food production, especially rice, through the introduction of hybrid
rice plants which require fertilizer and pesticides for growth. The
United States should encourage South Vietnam to continue to work
toward self-sufficiency in food production.
Less funds than were requested are being made available for the
purchase of fertilizer, POL, and insecticides as an inducement to the
Government of South Vietnam to work toward converting the cur-
rently subsidized agricultural system to a self-sufficient system.

The Committee has made, substantial reductions in the industrial
development category. In the Committee's view, humanitarian and
agricultural needs are the most important to the Vietnamese and in-
dustrial development is of far less significance when it comes to
deciding how to divide the limited funds available.

The last category is assistance to help provide fuel and other com-
modity support to Vietnam's transportation system and to pay for the
costs of AID's administrative and technical activities which are not
directly chargeable to a specific project.
Implementation of Ceiling
The new subsections (c), (d) and (c) contain further specifics
concerning the ceiling imposed on spending for South Vietnam.
New subsection (c) provides that in computing the limitations on
obligation authority under subsection (a) with respect to any fiscal
year, there shall be included in the computation the value of any

goods, supplies, materials, equipment services, personnel or advisers
provided to, for, or on behalf of South Vietnam in the fiscal year by
gift, donation, loan, lease or otherwise. For the purpose of the. subsec-
tion, "value" means the fair market value of any goods, supplies,
materials, or equipment provided to, for, or on behalf of South Viet-
nam but in no case less than 331/3 per centum of the amount the United
States paid at the time the goods, supplies, materials, or equipment
were acquired by the United States.
New subsection (d) provides that no funds may be obligated for
any of the purposes described in subsection (a). in, to, for, or on
behalf of South Vietnam in any fiscal year beginning after June 30,
1975, unless the. funds have been specifically authorized by law en-
acted after the elate, of enactment of this section. In no case shall
funds in any amount in excess of the amount specifically authorized
by law for any fiscal year be obligated for any purpose during the
fiscal year.
New subsection (e) states that after the date of enactment of the
section, whenever any request is made to the Congress for the appro-
priation of funds for use in, for, or on behalf of South Vietnam for any
fiscal year, the President shall furnish a written report to the Con-
gress explaining the purpose for which the funds are, to be used in
the fiscal year.
New subsection (f) requires the President to submit to the Congress
within thirty clays after the end of each quarter of each fiscal year, be-
ginning with the fiscal year which begins July 1, 1974, a written report
showing the total amount of funds obligated in,, for, or on behalf of
South Vietnam (luring the preceding quarter by the United States
Government and specifies that it shall include a general breakdown
of the total amount obligated, describing the different purposes for
which the funds were obligated and the total amount obligated for
each purpose.
New Subsection (q) Limitations on U.S. Personnel in Vietnam.-
subsection (g) establishes ceilings on the number of Americans and
enactment of this bill. This ceiling applies to both direct hire and per-
sonnel employed by government contractors. Further reductions in
the ceilings are to become effective twelve, months thereafter. Within
the ceiling on American personnel a subceiling is imposed on the num-
ber of members of the U.S. armed services and all direct hire and
contractor personnel of the Department of Defense. The intent of
the Committee is that these limitations shall apply to both perma-
nently authorized and so-called temporary duty personnel.
The ceilings are as follows :

850 were civilian direct hire DOD employees, 2,600 were DOD con-
tractors and 200 were uniformed military (50 attaches and 150 Marine
guards). The Committee was informed a year ago that by January
1974, all DOD direct hire personnel and all but 2,000 contractors would
be phased out. It was further assured that "very soon thereafter" con-
tractor personnel would number only 500. As indicated, these pledges
have not been met. The principal reason for this is that U.S. person-
nel are continuing to provide substantial. direct maintenance and op-
erational support to the Vietnamese armed forces. By this time, the
contractors were to have trained South Vietnamese to take over their
jobs but this has not occurred. Imposition of these ceilings should
stimulate the turnover to the Vietnamese of jobs that are now being
performed by U.S. contractors.
The progressively declining ceiling for U.S. supported third country
national personnel is also intended to foster South Vietnamese self-
sufficiency. Unless the so-called "TCN's" are controlled, departing
Americans will simply be replaced with other foreigners? Given the
skill and resourcefulness of the South Vietnamese and their long ex-
posure to American training and example, there is no justification for
continuing this practice.
New subsection (h) states that nothing in thenow section shall be
construed as a commitment by the United States to defend South
Vietnam.
Section 25. Limitations With Respect to Cambodia
Section 25 would add a new section 807 to the Act providing for
limitations with respect to Cambodia.
The new subsection (a) would set a ceiling of $347,000,000 in fiscal
year 1975 on obligations for the purpose of providing economic or
military assistance to Cambodia. It further specifies. categories of
assistance within the overall ceiling as follows : military assistance
$200,000,000; Public Law 480 commodity assistance $77,600,000; and
economic assistance $70,000,000.

is humanitarian relief for which the Committee has allocated $20 mil-
lion. Unfortunately, both the Executive Branch and the Cambodian
Government have been slow to respond to the humanitarian needs of
the Cambodian people. At present almost all relief work in Cambodia
is being carried out by voluntary agencies. The Committee strongly
approves of this means of providing relief and will expect the Agency
for International Development to provide the maximum possible sup-
port to such agencies, including the International Committee of the
Red Cross, from the funds authorized. In this connection, the Commit-
tee has written into the bill a provision which exempts voluntary
agency personnel from the ceilings on American and third-country
national personnel.
The Committee has reduced the commodity import authorization for
Cambodia from $71 million to $31 million. Even the most casual ob-
server in Phnom Penh is keenly aware that, while the mass of the
Cambodian population is suffering intensely from the war, Cambodian
government officials and businessmen are enjoying an improved
standard of living-which can only have come from one source-the
U.S. taxpayer. Cambodia, is perhaps the outstanding example of the
failure of the "trickle-down" principle on which U.S. aid to Indochina
appears to be predicated.

The new subsection (b) prohibits the transfer of economic assist-
ance or Public Law 480 funds for use for military aid purposes and
also prohibits transfers within the four categories of economic
assistance.
The new subsections (c), (d), (e) and (f) relate to the implementa-
tion of this ceiling on obligations for Cambodia requirements identi-
cal to those explained in the analysis of the new section 806.
The new subsection (g) reduces the current ceiling on U.S. person-
nel in Cambodia from 200 to 175 and on U.S. financed third-country
national personnel from 85 to 75. It would exempt personnel of volun-
tary relief agencies in Cambodia from the ceiling. Language is included
to make it clear that the ceiling on U.S. personnel includes contract
personnel.
The reductions contained in subsection (g) are designed to reduce,
our official involvement in Cambodia and to begin the process of
eliminating Cambodian dependence on the United States. They paral-
lel the Committee's action in reducing the level of U.S. military expend-
itures in Cambodia. In the. event the war is still going on in Cambodia

next year the Committee expects to lower the personnel ceilings still
further in FY 1976.
While it would appear that the Embassy in Phnom Penh has
made an effort-not always successful-to remain within the letter
of the personnel restrictions, it is evident that American personnel
have become increasingly involved in a vast range of support and
advisory efforts, generally not including tactical military advice, de-
signed to compensate for the inadequacy of the Cambodian Govern-
ment. This expansion of the American role in Cambodia is contrary
to the intent of the original Congressional personnel restriction. The
Committee believes that by limiting the number of Americans in
Cambodia the degree of American involvement in Cambodian affairs
can be more effectively controlled and, thus limits can be put on Cam-
bodia's dependence upon the U.S. Government. It is now evident that
the Committee underestimated the energy and resourcefulness of 200
Executive Branch representatives in Phnom Penh.
While reducing the level of U.S. personnel in Cambodia, particu-
larl the military, the Committee also adopted an amendment offered
by Senators Case, Symington, and Humphrey, designed to encourage
expansion of private relief activities in Cambodia. At present these
are being carried out almost exclusively by American voluntary non-
profit organizations and by the International Committee of the Red
Cross. The Committee has been informed that these organizations are
willing to expand their operations in order to meet the increasing hu-
manitarian needs of the Cambodian people. In order to do so, how-
ever, the relief organizations need U.S. funds to support their person-
nel since they have now reached the limit of their. own resources. To
date, AID has been unwilling to provide personnel support funds to
the relief agencies since, if it did so, the personnel supported would be
subject to the personnel ceilings. The Committee questions the appro-
priateness of the Embassy's decision to give priority in its personnel
alldcation to military personnel, who now account for 124 of the au-
thorized total of 200, rather than to increasing the number working
on relief programs.
The new subsection (h) carries over the provision from subsection
655 (g) which states that the section shall not be construed as a commit-
ment by the United States to defend Cambodia.
Subsection (b) of section 25 repeals sections 655 and 656 of the
Foreign Assistance Act since they will become obsolete upon the enact-
ment of this act.
Section 26. Limitations With Respect to Laos
Section 26 will enact a new section 808 to the Foreign Assistance Act
of 1961 which will establish a ceiling on and specify the distribution of
United States assistance to Laos for fiscal year 1975. Subsection (a)
of the new section 808 imposes a ceiling of $100,000,000 on obligations
for the purpose of providing military and economic assistance to Laos
in fiscal year 1975. Under the ceiling, $55,000,000 is allowed for mili-
tary assistance and $45,000,000 is allowed for economic assistance,
which is allocated into four categories. The table below provides com-
parative data on assistance for Laos.

The Committee has not reduced the Lao program in proportion to
other Indochina programs. Laos alone among the Indochina states has
reached a political settlement and the Lao people deserve encourage-
ment and assistance in making their government work. The amount
approved reflects the limit of what they can effectively absorb. It will
not be sufficient, however, to sustain Vientiane society in the manner
to which it became accustomed in the days of the massive American
presence. The reduction made in the Lao program came primarily out
of "reconstruction" where AID requested $11 million to build two
dikes, neither of which. required any dollar inputs. The AID request
for dollars for this purpose appeared to be but an effort to obtain addi-
tional free foreign exchange for Laos from the Congress.
United: States policy in Laos is designed to facilitate the establish-
ment of peace and national reconciliation. To this end, United States
assistance must operate within the terms of the. agreements on a cease-
fire and a coalition government signed by the Laotian parties in Feb-
ruary and September, 1973. Since that latter agreement establishes a
Provisional Government of National Union, American aid should be
channeled to the extent possible through that government. Also, insofar
as is possible, U.S. programs for humanitarian assistance, reconstruc-
tion, and development should be available to all areas of Laos and
should be directed wherever the need is greatest and the assistance
desired.
The new subsection (b) prohibits transfer of economic assistance
funds authorized for Laos for use as military assistance. Military as-
sistance funds may be, transferred to and used in the economic assist-
ance categories in accordance with the new section 809. There shall be
no transfers of funds between the four economic assistance categories.

Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5
The new subsection (c) through (f) relate to implementation of this
ceiling for Laos, and are identical to those explained in the analysis. of
section 806.
The new subsection (g) states that the new section shall not be
construed as a commitment by the United States to defend Laos.
Section 27. Transfer of Funds
Section 27 adds a new section 809 to the Foreign Assistance Act.
Subsection (a) prohibits use of the transfer authority of section
610 of the Act to add to, or take away from, the funds appropriated
for assistance to South Vietnam, Cambodia, or Laos.
Subsection (b), initiated by Senator Case, provides that any funds
made available for military assistance for South Vietnam, Laos, or
Cambodia may be used for war relief, reconstruction, or general eco-
nomic development purposes.
Section 28. Assistance to Nations in the Middle East
This section contains authorizations for allocations of assistance to
nations in the Middle East. Although, with the exception of the pro-
posed authorization for the Middle East Special Requirements Fund,
the ' funds involved here are actually authorized in other provisions of
the bill, these specific allocations for the Middle East emphasize the
importance attached to these programs by the Committee and Execu-
tive Branch officials as a means of promoting peace and stability in the
region. In testimony on this bill Secretary Kissinger stated :
America has a vital stake in a lasting Mid-East settlement.
6ur traditional concern for the security of Israel, our trans-
formed relations with the Arab states, the danger of great
power confrontation which chronic Arab-Israeli conflict ere-
ates, and the necessity for a cooperative approach to the en-
ergy problem-all demonstrate the American interest. We are
asking Congress for sufficient resources to make it possible
for us to play a constructive role.
* * *
The program we propose would provide Israel with the
assistance needed to maintain its own security, strengthen-
ing its resolve to persevere in the negotiations assured of its
own . strength and our support.
It would give tangible expression to our new and fruitful
relations with various Arab countries and encourage those
seriously prepared to work for peace.
In short, we have both opportunity and responsibility in
the Middle East. Opportunity to reach the goal of the negoti-
ated peace that is so vital to world peace and that has so long
eluded us. Responsibility to assist those countries in the area
which have accepted that goal and which need our help in
reaching it. We hope that you will be able to act swiftly on
these proposals, both to signal the support of the U.S. Con-
gress for our policies in the Middle East and to enable u s to
act rapidly with funding.
The Executive Branch proposed a total of $907,500,000 in allocations
for the Middle East, $807,500,000 in allocations by country and

$100,000,000 for a Middle East Special Requirements Fund. The
proposed allocations by country were as follows : (1) Israel-$50,000-
000 in economic aid and $300,000,000 in military credit sales; (2)
Egypt-$250,000,000 in economic aid; (3) Jordan--$100,000,000 in
military grant aid, $30,000,000 in military credits and $77,500,000
in economic aid.
The economic assistance proposed by the Executive Branch is to be
used as follows, according to the data presented to the Committee :

With one exception, the Committee has approved the country alloca-
tions of economic assistance requested. The Committee approved an
additional $200,000,000 in economic assistance for Israel above the
amount requested. The Committee believes that Israel's serious eco-
nomic situation justifies this additional assistance. This action will re-
sult in bringing the level of economic aid for Israel up to that recom-
mended for Egypt.

Section 28 adds a new Part VI to the Foreign Assistance Act, con-
sisting of three sections as follows :
New Section 901. General Authority for Assistance in the Middle East
Section 901 authorizes the President to furnish assistance under the
Act and credits and guaranties under the Foreign Military Sales Act
to nations in the Middle East. Such assistance, credits and guaranties
are to be provided within the framework of existing law. No additional
or special authority is provided by this section for Middle East pro-
grams.

Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5
New, Section 902. Allocations
Section 902 indicates the levels of military assistance and security
supporting assistance authorizations intended for Middle East pro-
grams. The $100,000,000 for military assistance grants is for Jordan
while the $577,500,000 in supporting assistance is for Israel, Jordan
and Egypt. The $330,000,000 in foreign military credit sales is for
Israel and Jordan. This section does not authorize appropriations in
addition to the amounts contained in the bill for regular authoriza-
tions for military assistance, security supporting assistance, and the
credit sales program..
New Section 903. Special Requirements Fund
Section 903 authorizes appropriations for a Special Requirements
Fund of $100,000,000 for fiscal year 1975 to be used to meet needs for
economic assistance to nation's in the Middle East which cannot be
foreseen at this time. The Committee has prohibited use of these funds
for. military assistance. This is, in effect, a contingency fund for eco-
nomic aid to the Middle East. Administration officials have stated that
it is possible that some of this money will be furnished to Syria.
The Committee amended the Executive Branch request to insure a
greater congressional voice in how this fund is .used. In recent years
the Committee has been active in taking away some of the vast discre-
tionary powers that Congress in the past has given to the President.
In view of the sensitive situation that exists in the Middle East, the
Committee is of the view that Congress should be told in advance by
the President how he proposes to use these funds, and each body
allowed a period of 30 days within which it could, by passage of a
resolution, disapprove the proposal. The provision adopted by the
Committee is comparable to the statutory provisions for. Congressional
disapproval of government reorganization plans.
Subsection (b) repeals section 620 (p) of the Foreign Assistance Act
which prohibits aid to Egypt without a finding by the President that
such assistance "is essential to the national interest." Such a finding
would be redundant in view of the fact that this bill is intended to
authorize assistance for Egypt.
Section 29. Foreign Military Sales Act Amendments
Section 29 amends the Foreign Military Sales Act in a number of
respects.
Paragraph (1)-Conditions of Eligibility.-This paragraph clari-
fies an ambiguous provision in section 3(d) of the FMSA regard-
ing the ineligibility for further sales, credits and guaranties of coun-
tries that violate foreign military sales agreements. It makes clear
that corrective action by a country that has violated an applicable
agreement can restore its eligibility for sales, credits and guaranties
not only of sophisticated weapons, but of other defense articles and
defense services as well.
Paragraph (3)-Emphasis on Commercial Channels for Arms
Sales.-Paragraph (2) amends section 22 of the Foreign Military
Sales Act to prohibit sales of defense articles to a developed country if
the article is available through commercial sources in the United
States.
This provision is similar to a provision in the foreign aid bill passed
by the Senate last year which was deleted in conference. Its purpose is
38-459-74-5
Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5
Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5
.to implement a policy declaration, also initiated in the Committee, de-
signed to minimize the government's role in arms sales to foreign
countries. That policy statement adopted by Congress last year, is now
contained in the, last paragraph of Section 1 of the Foreign _Military
Sales Act :
In order to reduce the role of the United States Govern-
ment in thc, furnishing of defense articles and defense services
to foreign countries and international organizations, and
return such transactions to commercial channels the United
States Government shall reduce its sales, credit sales, and
guaranties of such articles, and defense services as soon as,
and to the irlaxi.mum extent, practicable.
The basic objective of this provision is to get the United States Gov-
ernment out of the arms sales business and return these transactions to
commercial channels. Government policy controls would then be exer-
cised primarily through export licensing procedures. There is no evi-
dence that the Executive Branch has taken any action to implement
the policy approved by Congress last year.
Members of the Committee feel very strongly that United States
policies should be geared to restricting, not expanding, the. world arms
trade. The United States Government is far and away the world's lead-
ing arms merchant. Out of one side of the government's month come
pious calls for action to reduce the world's arms burden. And out of the
other side comes an arms sales pitch to nations around the globe. The
Committee hopes that the provision recommended will be a significant.
step toward ending this hypocritical situation and will help to insure
that we, as a government, practice what we preach.
The Committee notes with interest the following statement by the
Senate Appropirations Committee in its report on the Department of
Defense Approlnria.tion Bill (S. Rept. 93-1104) :
"SALES OF MILITARY EQUIPMENT TO FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS
"This Committee views with concern the dramatic increase in cash
sales of U.S. military equipment to foreign governments. Actual cash
sales of $5.9 billion during fiscal year 1974 far exceeded the original
DOD estimate of $3.9 billion. Cash sales over the past decade have
totaled $19.1 billion-of which $9.5 billion was negotiated during the
past two years.
"The political and economic impact of foreign military sales on the
United States and recipient foreign countries is immeasurable. Of
more direct interest to this Committee, however, is the real and
potential impact that the sale of military equipment has on the
security interests and objectives of this Nation and on defense
expenditures.
"The recent sale of 80 F-14 fighter aircraft to Iran could consider-
ably reduce combat capability of the U.S. Armed Forces. These air-
craft, the most sophisticated fighter aircraft available, will be delivered
to Iran prior to the planned U.S. Navy F-14 force being fully
equipped.
"The Committee is particpularly concerned that long terns security
interests of the United States Wright be jeopardized by large cash
sales of sophisicated weapons systems in areas of potential conflict."
The following table shows the extent to which the government is
directly involved in arms sales to foreign countries :

Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5
The Committee recognizes that many sales of military equipment to
foreign governments involve components which are controlled by the
United States government and, without government approval for sale
of the component, the entire end item would not normally be available
through commercial channels. The Committee does not believe that the
fact of government control over components of an item to be sold to a
foreign country should stand in the way of a sale being handled
through commercial channels, as long as there are no objections to the
sale from the standpoint of United States foreign policy or security in-
terests. Similarly, the fact that an item to be sold is produced in a
government owned plant or with government owned equipment leased
to a commercial producer, should not serve as an obstacle to use of
'commercial sales channels as long as the United States is fully reim-
bursed for use of the. government facilities. The Committee assumes
that the government will take whatever action is necessary to protect
its interests. But those interests do not extend to promoting the sale
of arms for competitive purposes.
The Committee's intent is to insure that government officials, when
weighing proposed arms sales to foreign countries, have uppermost in
their thinking the foreign policy interests of the United States and not
that of selling more United States military equipment. If the govern-
ment is a disinterested party in the promotional aspects of arms sales,
officials can then bring a clearer, more reflective foreign policy judg-
ment to bear in deciding whether to grant an export license.
The Committee has not attempted to define "economically developed
country." However, it is the Committee's intent that Israel not be con-
sidered an "economically developed country" for purposes of this
provision.
Paragraphs (3) and (5) Minimum Interest Rates And Maximum
Term for Guarantees.--Paragraph (3) amends section 23 of the
Foreign Military Sales Act to establish a statutory minimum in-
terest rate for credits extended to foreign countries under that Act.
Under existing law, no interest rate is specified although the general
practice has been to charge the same rate as the interest paid on cur-
rent government borrowings. However, concessional interest rates have
been allowed in some cases, primarily to meet foreign competition. This
provision sets the minimum rate at that which the government cur-
rently pays on outstanding marketable obligations of comparable
in atu ity.
Paragraph (5) amends section 24 of the Act to establish a maxi-
mum period of ten years for government guarantees of credit extended
by private sources to foreign countries for financing military sales
under the. Foreihm Military Sales Act. Under existing law the mnaxi-
rnum term for direct government credit is ten years. This provision
will apply that lirnit to the guaranty program.
The minimum interest rate and the maximum guaranty period re-
cluirements could be waived by the President if lie certifies to the Con-
gress that it is in the national interest to allow a concessional interest
Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5
Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5
rate or to issue a guaranty for a period longer than ten years. The
Committee expects that this waiver authority will be used very spar-
ingly and only in extraordinary circumstances. Under no circum-
stances is the waiver to be used to allow a concessional interest rate or
a guaranty term longer than ten years for the purpose of meeting for-
eign arms sales competition. Concessional interest rates on credit sales
to current grant aid recipients are authorized elsewhere in this bill
as an element in the three year phaseout of military grant assistance.
Paragraph (4) Federal Fnancing Bank.-This paragraph amends
section 24(a) and Section 24(b) of the Foreign Military Sales Act
(FMSA) by authorizing foreign military sales guaranties to be issued
to the Federal Financing Bank, which was established by the Federal
Financing Bank Act of 1973, Public Law 93-224, approved on Decem-
ber 29, 1973 (87 Stat. 937), and by authorizing the sale to the Bank
of promissory notes issued by borrowers pursuant to direct foreign
military sales credits. The Federal Financing Bank is an instrumen-
tality of the United States Government and, as such, is subject to
the parenthetical clause in subsections (a) and (b), although. section 6
of the Federal Financing Bank Act of 1973 authorizes the Bank to
purchase any obligation sold, or guaranteed by a Federal agency.
Purchases by the Bank under section 6 are required to be upon such
terms and conditions as to yield a return at a rate not less than a rate
equivalent to cost of money to the U.S. Government (or, whenever
the Bank's own obligations outstanding are sufficient, to cost of money
to the Bank), and the Bank is also authorized to charge a normal
commitment fee in connection with such purchase. Any guaranty
transactions with the Bank under the FMSA will be subject to the
same reserve requirements under section 24(c) and controlled by the
same aggregate ceiling under section 31 (b) as guaranty transactions
with private U.S. lenders will continue to be.
Paragraph (6) -Authorization of Appropriations and Ceiling for
Credit Sales.--This paragraph amends section 31 of the Foreign Mili-
tary Sales Act to authorize $455,000,000 for fiscal year 1975 to carry
out the purposes of the FMSA and establishes a ceiling of $872,500,000
for fiscal year 1975 on the aggregate of credits and the principle
amount of loans guaranteed.
The bill earmarks $300,000,000 of the credit sales ceiling for Israel.
$100,000,000 of the credits extended to Israel shall be forgiven. It is
also the Committee's intention that the entire $300,000,000 intended
for Israel should be given first priority in the commitment of appro-
priations made available pursuant to this authorization.
The Qommittee has approved the full. ceiling requested as an ele-
ment in implementing its decision to reduce funds for grant military
assistance and phase out the grant program over a three-year period.
The credit sales program proposed by the Executive Branch is
shown in the following table :

5'ection 30. Annual Report on Political Prisoners
This section amends section 32 of the Foreign Assistance Act of
1973 to require the President to report to Congress annually on the
implementation of that section which reads as follows:
It is the sense of Congress that the President should deny
any economic or military assistance to the government of any
foreign country which practices the internment or imprison-
ment of that country's citizens for political purposes.

and operation of the, Gorgas Memorial Institute of Tropical and Pre-
ventive Medicine in the Republic of Panama. It increases the maximum
annual U.S. contribution from $500,000 to $1,000,000.
Gorgas Memorial Institute has operated since its inception as a
technical institution committed to conduct research in the biomedical
sciences on diseases of the tropics. Its objectives are to help prevent
disability, defect, and death from exotic diseases. The laboratory,
strategically located in Panama where the natural biocommunicatioii
route between North and South America forms, has been likened to a
southern disease early warning system for the United States.
Throughout the years, Congress has reaffirmed its support of the
Gorgas operation by increasing the U.S. contributions and providing
funds for the construction of one of the research facilities now in use.
This has been accomplished through five amendments to the original
act, the most recent in 1965, setting a ceiling of "not to exceed $500,000"
as the permanent annual congressional authorization. The basic U.S.
contribution has thus remained at the same level for the past 8 years.
The Committee believes that an increase to $1,000,000 is justified.
Sect/a> 32. Authorization for Contributions to the International Com-
mission of Control and Supervision in Vietnam
This section authorizes the appropriation of a total of $27,726,000
to help meet the expenses of the International Commission of Control
and Supervision in Vietnam. Of that, $16,526,000 is for contributions
in fiscal. year 1975 and $11,200,000 is to reimburse the Agency for Inter-
national Development for amounts expended by it in fiscal year 1974
to help meet expenses of the ICCS in that year.
The following letter from the Deputy Secretary of State explains
the background and justification for this request.
T it DEPUTY SECRETARY OF STATE,
Washington, August 6,1974.
lion. J. W. FULBRIGIIT,
Chairman, Committee on Foreign Relations,
U.S. Senate.
DEAR MR. CI.IATRbrA1 : The Senate Foreign Relations Committee
received for consideration on June 3 5-35-62, authorizing funds for
U.S. contributions to the International Commission for Control and
Supervision (ICCS) is Viet-Nam.
The ICCS is an essential part of the peace structure set up by the
Paris Agreement of January 27,1973. The Commission has a number of
positive achievements to its credit. The presence of several hundred
foreign personnel in South Viet-Nam, charged with overseeing the
cease-fire, has contributed to lowering the violence over the past
eighteen months. Their continued presence helps deter the renewal of
all-out tivarfare. Despite obvious problems of implementation we con-
tinue to believe that the Paris Agreement, of which the ICCS is an
essential component, can help bring Viet-Nam closer to a lasting
peace.
The Commission now faces a serious financial crisis which throws its

Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957A000100010030-5
continued existence into doubt. The reason for the crisis is the refusal
of the North Vietnamese and South Vietnamese Communists to pay
their full shares of the ICCS budget. In view of this, we have con-
cluded that the U.S. must see to it that adequate. support be provided
to the Commission if it is to survive. The Administration is therefore
requesting $27.7 million to support the ICCS in FY 1975. Of this,
$16.5 million would pay essential costs this fiscal year. The remaining
$11.2 million would repay the Agency for International Development
for borrowings for ICCS contributions last fiscal year. The projected
U.S. contribution comprises the greatest share of the ICCS budget.
But compared with the serious consequences of the Commission's col-
lapse-the unraveling of the fragile structure of peace in Viet-Nam-
the price is small. I do not think we can afford to allow this to happen.
I cannot stress enough the importance of this legislation to our inter-
ests in preserving the existing peace-keeping structure and in moving
toward a more stable peace in Viet-Nam. I most strongly urge you to
give it your support.
With best regards,
Sincerely,

TIIE FOREIGN ASSISTANCE ACT OF 19011, AS AMENDED
PART I
CIIAPTER 1-POLICY; DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE AUTHORIZATIONS
Sec. 103. Food and Nutrition.
(a) In order to alleviate starvation, hunger, and malnutrition, and
to provide basic services to poor people, enhancing their capacity for
,self-help, the President is authorized to furnish assistance, on such
terms and conditions as he may determine, for agriculture, rural devel-
opment, and nutrition. There are authorized to.be appropriated to the
President for the purposes of this section, in addition to funds other-
wise available for such purposes, [$291,000,000 for each of the fiscal
years 1974 and 1975] $291,000,000 for the fiscal year 1974, and
$491,000,000 for the, fiscal year 1975, which amounts are authorized to
remain available until expended.
(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 significantly expanding world food production at relatively low
cost lies in increasing the productivity of small farmers who constitute
a majority of the nearly one billion people living in these countries.
Inereasing the emphasis 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 industrialised countries. In the allocation of funds
under this section, special attention should be given to increasing agri-
cultural production in the countries with per capita incomes under
$300 per year and which are the most severely affected by sharp
increases in worldwide commodity prices.
Sec. 104. Population Planning and Health.
In order to increase the opportunities and motivation ,for family
planning, to reduce the rate of population growth, to prevent and
combat disease, and to help provide health services for the great, ma-
jority, the President is authorized to furnish assistance on such terms
and conditions as he may determine, for population planning' and
