ticle or grant; and

JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE
COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE
The managers on the part of the House and the Senate at the con-
ference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the amend-
ments of the House to the bill (S. 2819) to provide foreign military and
related assistance authorizations for fiscal year 1972, and for other
purposes, submit the following joint statement to the House and the
Sena e, in explanation of the action agreed upon by the managers and
recomended in the accompanying conference report :
The House amendments struck out all of the Senate bill after the
enacting clause and inserted a substitute text and provided a new title
for the Senate bill, and the Senate disagreed to the House amend-
ments.
The committee of conference recommends that the Senate recede
from its disagreement to the amendment of the House to the text of
the bill, with an amendment which is a substitute for both the text of
the bill and the House amendment to the text of the bill. The commit-
tee of conference also recommends that the Senate recede from its dis-
agreement to the amendment of the House to the title of the bill.
The differences between the text of the House bill and the substitute
agreed to in conference are noted below, except for clerical corrections,
and minor drafting and clarifying changes.
The Senate passed two foreign aid authorization bills. S. 2819 au-
thorized $1,503,000,000 for grant military assistance, supporting as-
sistance, and foreign military credit sales for fiscal year 1972. S. 2820
authorized $1,144,000,000 plus $11,000,000 in Egyptian pounds for
economic and humanitarian assistance for fiscal year 1972. The total
of the two Senate bills for fiscal year 1972 was $2,647,000,000 plus
$11,000,000 in Egyptian pounds.
The House amendment to both bills contained authorizations for
economic, humanitarian, and military assistance for fiscal years 1972
and 1973. For fiscal year 1972 the economic part authorized $1,428,-
350,000 plus $1,000,000 in Egyptian pounds and the military part
authorized $2,015,000,000 for a total of $3,443,350,000 plus $1,000,000
in Egyptian pounds. The total for fiscal year 1973 was $3,493,350,000
plus $1,000,000 in Egyptian pounds.
The committee of conference agreed to a single bill that contains
authorizations for economic and humanitarian assistance for fiscal
years 1972 and 1973 and for military assistance only for fiscal year
1972. The total authorization for fiscal year 1972 is $2,752,000,000 plus
$11,000,000 in Egyptian pounds. This is a reduction from the House
figure of $691,350,000 and an increase over the Senate figure of $105,-
000,000.
Of the total authorization for fiscal year 1972, $1,518,000,000 is for

and without having to expend U.S. dollars to purchase such currency.
It would also not apply in any case in which military assistance is
given to a foreign country under an agreement which allows the United

a ceiling of 200 U.S. personnel and 50 third country nationals that

tional congressional controls aver U.S.-financed operations in Cam-
bodia should be exercised. Therefore, it is intended that U.S. expendi-
tures in, to, or in behalf of Cambodia in the future will continue to be
subjected to limitations and ceilings. It is expected that for fiscal year
1973 and future years the Administration will provide Congress with
a full and accurate estimate of the projected expenditures for all U.S.-

thority to waive the regional ceilings established by section 33 of the

thority to waive regional ceilings.
The House amendment establishes a ceiling of $150 million on such
sales and assistance and amended the President's waiver authority so
that regional ceilings may be exceeded by not more than 50%.

$100 million and the House waiver authority allowing an amount
up to 50 percent of the approved ceiling when overriding requirements
of the national security exist.

million in new obligational authority for military credit sales for FY
