Approved For Release 2006/11/11 : CIA-RDP79-00957A000100010030-5 Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5 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.

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 Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5 Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957A000100010030-5 33 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-RDP79-00957A000100010030-5 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- Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5 Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5 35 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 Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5 Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5 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. Service Military Civilian U.S. European Command: Bellux, MAAG-------------- J.

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 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 Korea, the proposed fiscal year 1975 program, and the ceilings set by the Committee : CEILING FOR SOUTH KOREA tIn millions of dollars and fiscal years) 1974 program Grants----------------------------------------- 121.9 200.8 91.5 61.0 30.5 Military assistance program------------------ (78.1) (161.5)---------- --_---------------------- Excess defense articles---------------------- - (21.8) - (20.8) ------------------------- _ ----- --- MAP supply operations---------------------- (22.0) (18 * 5) ------------------------------------ Credit sales ------------------------------------ 56.7 52.0 42.45 28.3 14.15 252.8 133.95 89.3 44.65 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- Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5 Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5 cial capabilities" and that a plan be devised "for phasing out U.S. assistance." 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 Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5 Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5 41 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 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.

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: Expenditure ceilings.-The bill establishes country-by-country Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5 Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5 44 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.

I Military assistance service funded. 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- Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5 Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5 45 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- Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5 Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5 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- Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5 Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957A000100010030-5 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.

(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 Approved For Release 2006/11/11 : CIA-RDP79-00957A000100010030-5 Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5 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.

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 Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5 Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5 of providing economic or military assistance to South Vietnam. Under that ceiling up to $700,000,000 can be for military assistance, $160,- 000,000 for Public Law 480 commodity assistance, and $420,000,000 for economic assistance as specified in the bill.

Includes supplemental appropriation of $49,000,000. 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 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.

Every effort should also be made to find ways to make child care centers sell-sufficient if possible. Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5 Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5 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." II. Agricultural assistance A.

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.

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 Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5 Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5 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 : DOD 3d country Overall personnel nationals As of6monthsfrom enactment ------------------------------------- 4,000 2,500 800 As of 12 months from enactment____________________________________ 3,000 1,500 500 Of the 5;300 total personnel who were in South Vietnam as of May 1974 some 3,650 were military or DOD; of these approximately Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5 Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5 55 850 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.

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 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 Approved For Release 2006/11 /11 : CIA-RDP79-00957A000100010030-5 Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5 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.

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.

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 Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5 Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5 $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 : ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE, PROGRAM SUMMARY [In thousands of dollars] 1973 1974 1975 actual estimated proposed Egypt: Security supporting assistance________________________________________________ 8,000 250,000 Suez Canal------------------------------------------------------------ 8,000 20,000 Reconstruction/development ----------------- _______________________________............ 150,000 Commodity imports------------------------------------------------------------------- 80,000 Israel: Commodity imports-. --------------------------------------- 50,000 50,000 50,000 Jordan: Security supporting assistance_______________________________ -50,000 55,000 77,500 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 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.

"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 Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5 63 0 0 Ct) N 00 M COO N CT N N N, 0 O O M N NtD M V 000 q m Ott O n U) T tf~C O ^ N N CO ~ t 8 M W n N O N q M1 O N M1~ O ~+ N ~ pip 0 N M1 M N c{ M N '+ N ^i M1`- O O M ~t O 1~ O pNppp O u'~ 1(i~D A N Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5 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.

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.

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-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5 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, Approved For Release 2006/11/11 : CIA-RDP79-00957A000100010030-5 Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957A000100010030-5 In compliance with paragraph 4 of rule XXIX of the Standing Rules of the Senate, changes in existing law made by the bill, as reported, are shown as follows (existing law proposed to be omitted is enclosed in black brackets, new matter is printed in italic, existing law in which no change is proposed is shown in roman) 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 (69) Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5 Approved For Release 2006/11/11: CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010030-5 health.
