THE NEED FOR FOREIGN AID
Mr. JAVITS. Mr. President, on Sun-

most cogent editorial entitled "The Need

Mr.TENNIS. I will yield in a moment.
Let u move this along. In a few min-
utes, we *411 get to the military procure-
ment bill, tlich has a larger portion of
a larger portion of
the Mansflel4 amendment in it than
heretofore, and that is a step forward;
and I believe it will be passed this after-
noon or tonight.
Let us move this Till along. It is not ex-
actly what I want; i is not exactly what
anyone wants. But let us move this bill
and pass it and make room for some-
thing else. We have done our best-every-
one has.
Mr. SCOTT. Mr. President, I yield 1
minute to the Senator from Louisiana,
Mr. LONG. Mr. President, I ha ye many
times voted against foreign aid bills. It
seems to me that after we have sacrificed
the lives of the.,50,000 courageous young
men and have sustained 500,000 casual-
ties in fighting for the principles of free-,.
don, fighting at least against commu-
nism-everyone must concede that
point-to lose that struggle because we
have tried to be pennywise and pound
foolish, for a few dollars, when we are
pulling our troops out, would be the
height of folly. To do that, in my judg-
ment, would qualify a person for an in-
sane asylum. Why would anyone want
to do that, and having done that, deny
someone the little help they need to have
a chance of success to defend them-
selves? I think that would be utter folly.
PROGRAM
Mr. SCOTT. Mr. President, I yield 1
minute to the distinguished majority
leader, so that -I may ask him what the
further order of business is. I do this be-
cause we have a large attendance at the
moment, and some important matters
are coming up.
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, after
the vote on the pending business, the
Senate will return to the consideration
of H.R. 10947, the tax package, reported
by the Committee on Finance, which has
been temporarily laid aside.
It is anticipated that once this bill is
laid before the Senate again, the distin-
guished Senator from Mississippi will call
up the conference report on the militate,
procurement bill. Following the disposi-
tion of that report, we will return to the
income tax bill, which will take 2 or 3
days or more, I assume.
In turn, that will be followed by the
phase It economic package reported by
the Committee on Banking, Housing, and
Urban Affairs.
COMMITTEE MEETING NEXT WEEK
If the distinguished minority leader
and the Senate as a whole will allow me,
I ask unanimous consent that the Com-
mittee on Banking, Housing, and Urban
Affairs be allowed to meet all next week
while the Senate is in session, to com-
plete this phase of the President's pro-
gram, if possible.
Mr. SCOTT. I join in that request.
The VICE PRESIDENT. Without ob-
jection, it is so ordered.
Mr. MANSFIELD. Then we have the -tinned to believe we needed a complete
conference report. on the military con- reevaluation and revision of the U.S.
struction appropriations bill, which foreign assistance program.
ought to be ready Monday or Tuesday. At the same time, I had some hesita-
There will be further conference reports tion over terminating abruptly, without
and other privileged matters Which may any transitional planning and, perhaps
arise.
There is the so-called fish inspection
bill, which is going to precipitate a cer-
tain amount of consideration.
In the background, there are the
EEOC, amendments, the National Voter
Registration Act; four appropriation
bills; and two Supreme Court nomina-
tions--all of which we want to get to and
complete before we adjourn sine die
around December 1. I certainly hope we
can make it.
Mr. SCOTT. I thank the distinguished
majority leader.
I yield myself 1 additional minute, for
two purposes.
. The first purpose is to say that, again
this morning, the joint leadership has
indicated a desire to adjourn this session
by December 1. We can do it if we dis-
pose of the program which the majority
leader has just outlined. Therefore,
when the Supreme Court nominations
come in, I think it is important that we
continue to sit until we have disposed
of the- confirmations and have voted on
both.
I solicit the cooperation of all Senators
in this regard as, in my judgment, it will
be necessary"to stay here until it is done.
The second purpose is to ask the dis-
tinguished majority leader if he will
comment on the 'possibility of Saturday
in a moment of frustration, a program
which had existed, for more than 20
years and which, in many ways, had been
an important tool of our diplomatic
relations.
While the problems of a lack of ade-
quate information, an absence of a clear-
cut approach and undefined goals had
not been resolved, the new program
recommended by the committee was
certainly an improvement over the one
recommended originally, the program
which I voted against reporting favor-
ably. First, the $2.3 billion committee
authorization was much more in line
with the $1.9 billion appropriated last
year than with the $3.2 billion commit-
tee recommendation in the defeated bill.
It was also more in line with our spend-
ing abilities in light of recent U.S. finan-
cial difficulties.
Second, the separation of aid into two
categories, economic and humanitarian
aid and military assistance, allowed us to
examine each of our major foreign aid
categories in some detail and give at-
tention to each as an individual matter.
Third, there were several provisions,
such as those for combating the interna-
tional drug traffic, for requiring that
additional information on foreign aid
spending be reported to Congress and
for channeling additional aid thro h

I urge, beseech, and I pray each Sena-
tor to observe that, and to help the joint
leadership in its desire to accommodate
themselves to the wishes of the Senate
as a whole.
Mr. SCOTT. For this, we would need
to enact the prayer amendment.
I thank the Senator.

pose and designates the area where military

undertaken outside such borders.
"(b) Upon requesting Congress to make
any such authorization, the President shall
provide to Congress a copy of any agreement

ident shall provide a copy of any such agree-
ment and thereafter of all plans and details

ment to use such amounts from that spe-
cial account as may be determined, from
time to time, by the President to be neces-
sary to pay all official costs of the United
States Government payable in the currency

grams authorized by the Mutual Educational
