world conditions and the economic position
of the United States in. relation to countries
receiving such assistance, and that the pro-
gram; except for military education and
training activities, should be reduced and
terminated as rapidly as is feasible consistent
with the security and foreign policy require-
ments of the United States. The amendment
also directs the President to submit to the
First Session of the 94th Congress a detailed
plan for the reduction and eventual elimina-
tion of the present military assistance pro-
gram.
Continuation of military training
The Senate bill contained a provision es-
tablishing a separate military training au-
thority effective October 1, 1977, and limited
such training to such locations in the United
States unless specifically authorized by law.
It also contained several technical provisions
to conform this new authority with prior
provisions terminating military assistance
programs and military assistance advisory
groups.
The House amendment did not contain a
comparable provision.
The Senate receded.
EXEMPTION OF CANAL ZONE TRAINING

sistance Act.
The Senate bill did not contain a com-
parable provision.
The Senate receded.

cles and military sales credit for each of the

vision which would limit the aggregate
amount for military assistance, excess de-
fense articles, and military sales credits and
guaranties to $145 million in fiscal year 1975
unless the President reported to Congress
that the Government of South Korea had
made substantial progress in the observance
of international standards of human rights.
If such a report were made, the aggregate
ceiling for such programs would be increased
to $165 million.
The Senate receded.

amending section 632 of the Foreign Assist-
ance Act to authorize $675 million for secu-
rity supporting assistance in fiscal year 1'.975.
The House amendment authorized $585
million for security supporting assistance for
fiscal year 1975.
The committee of conference agreed to a
compromise authorization of $660 million for
security supporting assistance for fiscal year
1975. For countries in the Middle East, this
figfire will allow $324.5 million for Israel,
$250 million for Egypt, and $77.6 million for
Jordan.
TRANSFER AND WAIVER AUTHORITY
AMENDMENTS
Transfer between accounts
The Senate bill contained a provision
amending section 610 to prohibit the use of
the section 610(a) transfer authority to
transfer funds into the military assistance
program and to permit the transfer of funds
allocated to a country for military assistance
into the development assistance program for
that same country. The Senate bill also pro-
hibited the use of the section 614(a) waiver
authority to waive the limitations on trans-
fers provided for in the section 610(a) trans-
fer authority.
The House amendment did not contain a
comparable provision.
The House receded.
Transfers between accounts for Indochina
The Senate bill contained a provision pro-
hibiting the use of the section 610(a) trans-
fer authority for funds appropriated for
Indochina countries but permitted the trans-
fer of funds allocated under the Foreign As-
sistance Act or any other law for any Indo-
china country into the development assist-
ance program for that country. The Senate
bill prohibited the use of funds from ac-
counts other than the Indochina account in
the countries of Indochina but made an ex-
ception for population programs, narcotics
assistance, humanitarian assistance through
international organizations, and funds obli-
gated for regional programs In Indochina.
The House amendment prohibited the use
of the section 810(a) transfer authority to
transfer funds into the Indochina account
and prohibited the use of the section 614(a)
waiver authority to use economic assistance
funds in Indochina but permitted the use of
these authorities if the Congress is notified
30 days in advance and does not disapprove
such use by concurrent resolution.
The Senate receded with amendments (1)
to eliminate the permission to use the trans-
fer and waiver authorities with 30 days prior
notice to Congress; (2) to make four excep-
tions to the restriction on the use of funds
from accounts other than the Indochina
account, namely for population programs,
narcotics assistance, humanitarian assistance
through international organizations, and
funds obligated for regional programs in
Indochina; and (3) to permit the transfer
of military assistance funds provided under
the Foreign Assistance Act for any Indochina
country for development programs in that
country.
Restrictions on use of development
assistance funds
The House amendment contained a provi-
sion which prohibited providing development
assistance to countries receiving funds from
the security supporting assistance or Indo-
china aid accounts or from the Middle East
Special Requirements Fund and permitted
the waiver of this prohibition under section
614(a) only If Congress is notified of the pro-
posed use of the waiver and does not dis-
approve such use by concurrent resolution
within 30 days. The House amendment made
an exception for population programs.
The Senate bill did not contain a compara-
ble provision.
The Senate receded with an amendment
which eliminates the waiver provision but
makes additional exceptions for humanitar-
ian assistance through international organi-
zations and for regional programs in Indo-
china.
Changes in allocation
The House amendment contained a pro-
vision which changed section 653 to restrict
further the reallocation of foreign assist-
ance funds by extending the limitation on re-
allocation of funds now covering military as-
sistance and security supporting assistance
to include also Indochina aid and economic
H 12131
development assistance, and by increasing
the prior notice period for reallocation from
10 to 30 days.
The Senate bill did not contain a compara-
able provision.
The Senate receded with an amendment
to reduce the 30 day prior notice period to
10 days.
The committee of conference emphasizes
that language agreed to should not be inter-
preted to allow assistance in excess of any
ceilings specified in other provisions of law.
PROHIBITIONS ON MILITARY ASSISTANCE TO
TURKEY
The Senate bill contained a provision
which would prohibit military assistance
and the sale of defense articles to Turkey
until and unless the President certified to
the Congress that the Government of Tur-
key was in compliance with the applicable
laws and agreements relating to the use of
defense articles furnished by the United
States and was making substantial progress
regarding military forces in Cyprus. The
President could suspend the provisions of
the section until 80 days after the convening
of the 94th Congress if he determined that
such suspension would further negotiations
for a peaceful settlement of the Cyprus
conflict.
The House amendment contained a provi-
sion suspending all military assistance and
sales to Turkey upon enactment of the bill.
The suspension could be waived if the Pres-
ident determined and certified to the Con-
gress that the Government of Turkey is in
compliance with the Foreign Assistance Act
of 1961, the Foreign Military Sales Act, and
any agreement entered into under such Acts,
and that substantial progress toward agree-
ment has been made regarding military
forces in Cyprus.
The conference report combines the pro-
visions of both versions. It suspends all
military assistance and sales upon enact-
ment of the bill but allows the President
to lift the suspension until February 5,
1975 if he determines that such action will
further negotiations for a peaceful solution
of the Cyprus conflict and only if, during
that time, Turkey shall observe the cease-
fire and shall neither increase its forces on
Cyprus nor transfer to Cyprus any U.S. sup-
plied Implements of war.
It is the intention of the committee of
conference that the period during which the
President is authorized to suspend the limi-
tations on aid to Turkey shall not be used
to accelerate obligations or deliveries of ma-
teriel to Turkey. The Executive Branch is
enjoined from exceeding normal planned
schedules for obligations and deliveries un-
der the MAP and FMS programs.
WAIVER OF PROHIBITION ON ASSISTANCE TO
COUNTRIES TRADING WITH NORTH VIETNAM
The House amendment contained a pro-
vision which amended section 620(1) to per-
mit the President to waive the prohibition
on assistance to countries trading with North
Vietnam.
The Senate bill did not amend section
620(n).
The Senate receded.
LIMITATIONS ON ASSISTANCE TO CHILE
The Senate bill contained a provision which
limited assistance to Chile to $55 million in
fiscal year 1975, none of which could be used
for military assistance, credits, or guaranties.
The House amendment added a new sub-
section 620 (y). suspending military assistance
(except $800,000 in military training), credit
sales, and cash sales to Chile through fiscal
year 1976, and also prohibiting the issuance
of export licenses for Chilean arms purchases
from U.S. manufacturers unless the President
reports to the Congress that Chile is snaking
fundamental improvements in the observ-
ance of human rights. If such a report is
made, foreign military cash sales and com-

fund is inadequate, but the section did not
authorize appropriations of any funds for
those purposes. The Senate version did not
reduce the contingency fund or prohibit its
use for gifts to foreign government officials.
The Senate receded.
ACCESS TO CERTAIN MILITARY BASES ABROAD
The Senate bill contained a provision
1975, one of which funds may be used to
finance military assistance, credits, or guar-
anties. The amendment also deleted the
reference to "any other law".
DISASTER RELIEF AND CONTINGENCY FUND
The House amendment contained a provi-
sion which amended section 639 of the For-
eign Assistance Act to authorize the appro-
priation of $40 million for fam!Lne and dis-
aster relief in fiscal year 1975, earmarked $25
million for Cyprus, and required. a quarterly
report on the programing and Obligation of
funds. It also reduced the authorization for
the contingency fund (section 451) from $30
million to $5 million and prohibit the use of
the contingency fund to pay for gifts to of-
ficials of any foreign government.
The Senate bill contained a provision which
amended section 639B of the Foreign Assist-
ance Act and added new sections 639C, 639D,
and 839E to authorize the President to pro-
vide, through U.N. affiliates where practicable,
long-term aid to the Sahel, emergency relief
to Cyprus and Bangladesh, and disaster re-
lief to other nations where the contingency
limit the funds that could be used for as-
sistance to Chile to $25 million in fiscal year
The House receded with an amendment to
PROHIBITING POLICE TRAINING
The Senate bill contained a provision
which added a new section 680 to the Foreign
Assistance Act which would prohibit all
forms of police training and financial sup-
port, both in and outside of the United
States, which are funded under the Foreign
Assistance Act, including the International
Police Academy (IPA). Prior law prohibited
police training outside the United States.
The House amendment did not contain a
comparable provision.
The House receded with an amendment
which terminates the authority to conduct
police training within the United States or
abroad, effective June 30, 1975. A specific
exception is made for training or police pur-
suant to section 482 of the act, relating to
international narcotics control.
REIMBURSABLE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS
The House amendment contained a pro-
vision which would add a new section 659
to the Foreign Assistance Act authorizing the
use of up to $2 million to work with friendly
countries, particularly those in which devel-
opment assistance has ceased or those not
receiving prior assistance, in obtaining de-
velopment-related goods or services from
U.S. sources.
The Senate bill did not contain a com-
which added a new section 661 to the Foreign
Assistance Act prohibiting the use of funds
appropriated under any act by, or on behalf
of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA),
or any other agency of the U.S. Government,
for the conduct of operations in foreign coun-
tries other than operations intended solely
for obtaining intelligence, unless the Presi-
dent finds that such operations are important
to the national security and transmits a re-
port of his findings to the committee of the
Congress having jurisdiction to monitor and
review the intelligence activities of the U.S.
Government. These restrictions would not
apply during a declared war or during an
exercise of power under the War Powers
Resolution.
The House amendment contained a pro-
vision which added a new section 660 to the
Foreign Assistance Act which was similar to
the Senate measure. The basi , ,iffere
were that the House section prohibited the
use of Foreign Assistance Act funds only, ap-
plied to the CIA but not to other govern-
ment agencies, and specifically required that
the reports be transmitted to the Foreign
Affairs and Foreign Relations Committees,
among the committees with relevant juris-
diction. The House amendment also pro-
vided that the restrictions should not apply
during a declared war or during an exercise
of power under the War Powers Resolution.

which expressed Congressional findings and
made policy statements on Indochina direct-
ing the President to undertake several meas-
ures to help bring peace in Indochina. The
findings include statements that none of the
parties are observing the Vietnam Peace
Agreements, that the Cambodia war has in-
tensified, and that continuation of the mili-
tary efforts are not in the interests of the
people in Indochina or of world peace. The
specific steps to be taken are (1) negotia-

Republic of China to decrease arms supply,
