4RTENDMENT OFFERED BY MS. HOLTZMAN
Ms. HOLTZMAN, Mr. Chairman,
offer an amendment.
The Clerk read as follows:
Amendment offered by MS. HOLTZMAN:
Page 23, line 14, strike out "important to
the national security" and insert in lieu
thereof "vital to the national defense".
Ms. HOLTZMAN. Mr. Chairman, the
purpose of this amendment is very sim-
ple. It is designed to enlarge congres-.
sional control over the Central Intel-
ligence Agency's non-intelligence-gath-
ering functions.
The provisions of this bill relating to
the CIA constitute a major improvement
over the situation in the past. This bill
permits the CIA to engage in covert ac-
tivities only after the President reports
about these activities to the House and
Senate committees dealing with foreign
affairs and the House and Senate Armed
Services Committees.
Despite the Improvement, I still think
these provisions are seriously deficient.
This bill authorizes CIA activities de-
signed to subvert or undermine foreign
governments so long as they are "im-
portant to national security." This
rubric is so broad as to be almost mean-
ingless. Thus, the President is empow-
ered to authorize CIA actions to subvert
foreign governments basically when he
thinks it would be desirable. It seems to
me, however, that the circumstances In
which the CIA ought ever to be permitted
to subvert a foreign government with
which we are at peace should be very
limited at best.
My amendment would permit the CIA
to engage in non-intelligence-gathering
activities only when such activities are
"vital to our national defense." My
amendment would thus limit the in-

Mr. GROSS. Mr. Chairman, I invite
the House to reflect on the fact that we
have expended at least $260 billion on
foreign aid since its inception. It seems

of the condition of this country, Is be-
yond all reason and is, in fact, linaneW
insanity. '
AMENDMENT OFFERED BY MR. CARNZY OP c$ai
Mr. CARNEY of Ohio. Mr. Chairman,
I offer an amendment.
The Clerk read as follows:
Amendment offered by Mr. CAaxEY of
Ohio: Page 80, after line 12, insert the fol.
lowing new section:
TEN PERCENT REDUCTION OP EACH
AUTHORIZATION
SEC. 85. Notwithstanding any other pro.
vision of this Act, each amount authoriasd
by any amendment made by this, Mt SIId
each allocation and limitation of any such
authorized amount shall be reduced by wa
percent.
Mr. CARNEY of Ohio. Mr. Chairmaq
this amendment would reduce each 9f
the authorizations, allocations and gm.
itations contained in this act by 10 per.
cent. It would save the American tat,
payers $260 million.
In recent months, the President bat
emphasized one overriding eeonomi,e
fact which threatens every Ameripsa_
an escalating inflation which is sapping
our economic gains and, unless eon.
trolled, will destroy our Nation's I O..
my. The President told us that everyone
has a stake in combating inflation, ihat
the Government must curtail excea~dve
spending, and that we in the Conte
have a responsibility for staying withig
the Federal budget by making prudent
cuts.
it seems obvious to me, Mr. Chalama,
that the one area where the most den..
sible and justifiable cuts can be made
is in the area of foreign aid.
From 1945 through 1973, we apftt
$185 billion of the taxpayers' money as
help other nations-first to rehabilitate
those ravaged by the war, then to help
others withstand Communist subversift
and aggression, and finally to beep
newly-independent nations find tbek
place in the Sun, or at least provide tbs
necessities of life for their own peopled
Mr. Chairman, the time has come tar
us to exercise prudence in our over a"
giving, and prudence demands that for.
eign aid be cut to the bare essentials. We
must not be wasteful of our own sub-
stance when our own people stand tt{
need.

by the language just sent to the desk
by the manager of the bill, if there is
any disagreement.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The
amendment Is so modified. The amend-
ment, as modified, IS RS f0fJOWS:
At the and of the bill, add the following
new Section:
LIMITING INTELLIGLN( C I.cr:rv IEs
Sac. 83. Chapter 3 of part III of the For-
ign Assistanc! Act of 1961, as amended by
sections 17(a) and 18 of this Act, is further
amended by adding at the end thereof the
following new section;
"Sac. 881. Limitations Upon Intelligence
Activities-(a) No funds appropriated un-
der the authority of this or any other Act.
may be expended by or on behalf of the
Central Intelligence Agency or any .other
agency of the United States Government for
the conduct of covert action operations,
other than operations Intended solely for ob-
taining necessary intelligence. Notwithstand-
ing the foregoing limitation, the President
may authorize and direct that any covert ac-
tion operation be resumed, or that any other
covert action operation be initiated, and
funds may be expended therefor, if, but not
before, he (1) finds that such operation is
vital to the defense of the United States,
and (2) transmits an appropriate report of
his finding, together with an appropriate
description of the nature and scope of such
operation, to the committees of the Con-
gress presently having jurisdiction to mon-
itor and review the intelligence activities of
the United States Government.
"(b) ;Notwithstanding the provisions of
subseotlon (a) of this section, the President
may authorize and direct the conduct of
such covert action operations as he deems of
immediate need and urgency'during min.
tary operations initiated by the United
States under a declaration of war by Con-
gress or an exercise of powers by the Prest-
dent under the War Powers Resolution (Pub-
lic Law 93-148)."
Mr. HUMPHREY. On that basis, I
think the Senator from Iowa has made a
distinct contribution to this difficult sub-
ject. I wish to commend him, and I per-
sonally, speaking as one Senator and
manager of the bill, am pleased to ac-
cept the amendment,
I have said to the Senator, and I want
to say to him publicly here, that it would
be the intention of the Senator from
Minnesota, if he were on the conference
committee, to insist upon this amend-
ment.
However, I want the Senator to know
that If there is a word, for example, that
would be considered In any way to re-
sult in jeopardizing what we Wright call
the security interests of the country,
while I do not see It, I hope he would
realize that one might want to see that
modified. That would be done, may I say,
only after consultation with the author
of the amendment.
Mr. HUGHES. Mr. President, the Sen-
ator from Iowa has absolute faith in the
Senator from Minnesota on matters deal-
ing with the subject matter under dis-
cussion. Naturally, he represents me as
well as the other Melnbers of the Senate
on any conference committee, and he
has my trust.
I believe we have been reasonable in
this matter in insisting that the appro-
priate committees of the Senate and the
House have jurisdiction over this subject
matter, while at the same time affording
leeway to any administration in conduct-
'td
Ing necessary intelligence gathering and,
in times of war, such covert activities as
may be necessary for the national de-
fense of this country.
Mr. HUMPHREY. I thank the Senator.
Mr. President, I am ready to accept the
amendment.
Mr. STENNIS. Mr. President, will the
ield?
Senator.
Mr. HUMPHREY. I yield.
Mr. STENNIS. Mr. President, I think
the intentions and the planning of the
Senator from Iowa have been in good
faith, and ire has been very reasonable
about nrukir.;; sonic modifications as he
sees there.
I point out., though, that this amend-
ment, as I understand, has not been
printed. It Is a highly important aniend-
ment. I have a printed copy here, but I
have understood later that the amend-
ment offered is not the same.
Mr. HUGHES. Mr. President, will the
Senator yield?
Mr. STENNIS. Yes.
Mr. HUGHES. As the Speaker knows,
the amendment was printed yesterday.
In an attempt to make the amendment
more acceptable to the manager of the
bill, the Senator from Iowa sent to the
desk today a slight modification.
Mr. s,rENNIS. That clears it up. I did
not intend to be critical of the Senator
from Iowa.
Anyway, I just wanted to point out the
rather casual way that we are adopting
this amendment. For my part, I would
want the matter further analyzed by ex-
perts in language in this particular field,
and I cannot support it. I wish to reserve
nil, rights in that respect.
I do not mean to pursue the matter
now to the nth degree, or call for a roll-
call vote, or anything like that. But I do
not agree to it and I do not accept it; I
want to make that clear.
Mr. McCLELLAN. Let us have a roll-
call.
Mr. STENNIS. I want to ask the Sen-
ator from Iowa, as the' amendment is
written now, the Senator recognizes the
present jurisdiction of the two Armed
Services Committees, as I understand and
any change in that could be made by sub-
sequent legislation, but not by this
amendment; is that correct?
NIr. HUGHES. I recognize the jurisdic-
tion of the present Armed Services Com-
mittees and the present subcommittees
handling the oversight of matters of in-
telligence and the CIA, yes. There is no
attempt, in this amendment, to change
or alter any jurisdictional matters in
either House.
Mr. STENNIS. That is a fair response.
One other matter: the language now says
"appropriate report." As long as it was
just as the rest of the amendment pro-
vides, the President, he would have a
matter of discretion whether he would
have a written report or whether it would
be an oral report to one of his men.
Mr. HUGHES. I would think that as
long as the matter was before the com-
mittee, the "appropriate report" would be
for the determination of the reporting
officer by agreement of the committee,
and I would think in matters of intelli-
gence or any other necessary covert ac-
tivity, that might be the best way under
certain circumstances.
Mr. STENNIS. The amendment does
not require a written report?
Mr. HUGHES. No, it does not.
Mr. STENNIS. I thank the Senator.
Mr. HUGHES. Mr. President, I would
like to say, before the question Is put, that
I hope some day to see the distinguished
chairman of the Armed Services Commit-
tee support legislation that will require
,in aboslute oversight by Congress of
CIA and other intelligence operations. I
realize that absolute cooperation in de-
fense of the country requires, between
time President and the intelligence agen.
cies, that they have a certain latitude;
but I am just as convinced, as an indi-
vidual Senator and citizen, that in the
interests of the citizens of the country
it is our responsibility, In the structures
of the committees, to represent them, to
make certain that we are conducting the
activities of these committees in the
)ntblic interest of this country, regardle5
c-! the operations at any designated point
(-,It Earth.
I would encourage the chairman of the
Armed Services Committee to be as con-
cerned about that as about the relation-
ships in the administrative branches of
the Government.
I thank the distinguished chairman for
the exchange on clarification, and for his
c:ooi.wration, even though he cannot sup.
l-ort the amendment as such; and I thank
the di4tiirsuished manager of the bill for'
his acceptance and support of the
amendment, and the distinguished senior
Senator from Missouri, who has long ex-
pressed his concerns about these matters
and in whose opinion, I suspect, I have
already modified the amendment too far.
At the same time, I believe iS I.; a matter
of cooperation between us to arrive at.
tome designated point of oversight that
will be employed, hopefully, in the basic
interests of the people of this country,
Mr. STENNIS. Mr. President, if the
Senator will yield to me, I do not care
to make any more statements, but the
Senator directed rather sharp words, in
a way, at the activities of the Senator
from Mississippi.
Let the matter rest on this : It is not
an easy job that I have had on this mat-
ter. I will not relate the incidents that
have come up. It was my duty, and that
was It. After all, we are working for the
seine country.
Mr. HUGHES. Mr. President, If the
Senator will yield, if there was any indi-
cation in the words or tone of the Sen a-
tJr from Iowa that he cast, in any way,
any adverse reflection on the distin-
guished chairman, it was not his inten-
tion to do so. I would not want to do
that.
Mr. SYMINGTON. Mr. Prc. ident, will
the Senator yield?
Mr. HUGHES. I am happy to yield to
the Senator from Missouri.
Mr. SYMINGTON. As long as the dis-
tinguished Senator mentioned my name,
I would like to present to the Senate why
I am heartily in favor of this amend-
ment, at the risk of being somewhat re-
dundant.
At the time of the Kennedy adminis-
tration, there were several ambassadors
who complained that the CIA head in
their country was operating without their
knowledge and consent, and, as a re-
 October 2, Koved For Re~&NG22ft1M&6ALCk-DN)pgM100010015-2
sir, the so-called Kennedy letter was
sent to all embassies. That letter stated
that the head of the CIA would report
to the ambassador In the country in
question.
The way the organization is set up
back here in Washington, however, de-
spite the fact that the head of the CIA
in the country in question reports to the
ambassador, the Committee on Foreign
Relations often does not have any knowl-
edge of CIA activities in a foreign coun-
try or much less the right of review of
said activities. Inasmur?.h as at least 95
percent of the work of the CIA is done
in countries with which we are not at
war, for many years I have felt that the
Foreign Relations Committee should
have some right of review of the activi-
ties of the Central Intelligence Agency
in those countries.
It appeared to inc that 'the amend-
ment of the Senator from Iowa, who
serves on the Armed Services Commit-
tee, as do'I-and we have discussed this
matter before-was getting at the meat
of this problem, or :?t least some of the
meat of the problem, with this amend-
ment.
So, without any critic ism of any mem-
ber of the Armed Services Committee,
especially Its chairman, I think it is time
that we recognize that if the CIA repre-
sentatives in all these countries all over
the world are to report, to the ambassa-
dors, when the matter conies back here,
the ambassador's responsibility being to
the State Department, the Senate For-
eign Relations Committee should have
some say with respect to' what Is being
done by the Central Intelligence Agency.
I might say I commend the able Sena-
tor from Tennessee for much of the work
that he has done in recent months in
this particular field. Although at times
it was difficult to understand what was
going on, it became clear that much of
the work of the CIA was not known to
the Members of Congress.
I believe that this amendment helps
clarify many of these matters, and that
is the reason I support it.
Ms. HUGHES. I thank my distin-
guished colleague from Missouri. I am
prepared to yield back the :remainder of
my time.
Mr. BAKER. Mr. President. will the
distinguished Senatoi yield?
Mr. HUGHES. Yes.
Mr. BAKER. May I express my grati-
tude to the distinguished Senator from
Missouri who has always been conscien-
tious in his efforts at arriving at an un-
derstanding of the activities of this
agency of Government.
He has been, in my judf.lnent, both
loyal to his mandate as a. member of the
jurisdictional committee leaving over-
sight of the CIA, and loyal to himself in
his determination to know what was go-
ing on.
I commend him for his persevert,nce
and for his efforts in that respect.
I also commend the distinguished Sen-
ator from Iowa for his initiative in this
respect.
While I previously expressed res crva-
tion:; about supporting other atncnd-
mhents, particularly the Abourez)c amend-
Ineut on the floor without w her info: -

motion, I believe that in this amendment
we should support because it states the
possibilities that arise In reports to us
and to Congress on the activities of his
agency.
So I intend to vote for this amend-
ment.
Mr. HUGHES. Mr. President, I appre-
ciate the remarks of the Senator from
Tennessee.
Mr. SYM_INGTON. I appreciate the
remarks of the Senator from Tennessee,
for what he said.
Mr. HUMPHREY. Mr. President, I
want to say that I support the anlend-
ment and commend the Senator from
Iowa and all those participating in this
discussion. I think it is helpful. It is a
forward step, and I suggest we proceed
with it. I am prepared to yield back my
time.
Mr. HUGHES. Mr. President, I move
the adoption of the amendment its mod-
ified, Land I yield back the remainder of
my time.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. All time
has expired and been yielded back. The
question is on agreeing to the amend-
ment, as modified, of the Senator from
Iowa (putting the question).
The amendment, as modified, was
agreed
_Wr. HUMPHREY. Mr. President, I
move to reconsider the vote by which
the amendment., as modified, was agreed
to.
Mr. HUGHES. I move to lay that mo-
tion on the table.
The motion to lay on the table was
agreed to.

Mr. JOHNSTON. Mr. President, this
amendment, very simply, grants to
Puerto Rico the ability to Join the :ar-
ibbean Development Bank, a regional
economic bank. The bank is unique in a.
number of respects. It is an economic
hank. It is regional. Puerto Ri ;o Is par-
ticularly suited to give It expertise and
help and, because of Its uniqueness, this
serves as no precedent for the larger
question of whether or not Puerto Rico
ought to be allowed to take part in for-

authorized to be appropriated by this Act if
such country pays in whole or in part any
expenses which l are directly or indirectly re-
lated to travel abroad by Members of Con-
gress, their families or congressionnl em-
ployces.
Mr. AIKEN. Mr. President, if I ,$f ay
speak briefly on this amendment, lit? is
becoming altogether too common prac-
tice for countries which are dependent
on U.S. mid and to v.hich we have con-
tributed most heavily, to send invita-
tions to Members of Congress inviting
them to come to their country for rather
extended visits with the country that.
invites them agreeing to pay all expense,,
from the time they leave Washing-ton
until they get there and then, perhaps,
a week or two of entertainment and
travel around that country, and then
have their expenses paid back to Vtiash-
in^ton.
I think it is time we stopped tliat. i
would not offer this amendment if I had
not received such invitations myself. I
am not trying to make it retroactive in
any way, but when you accept one of
those invitations you are supposed to
come back here and support legislation
which is favorable to that country.
I know they have sometimes told vini-
tors, "We teill take care of your hotel
bill." But now they are more generous.

"(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 poten-
tial for significantly expanding world food production at relatively
low cost lies in increasing the productivity of small farmers who con-
stitute a majority of the nearly one billion people living in those
countries. Increasing the emphasis on rural development and
expanded food production in the poorest nations of the developing
world is it matter of social justice as well as an important factor in
slowing the rate of inflation in the industrialized countries. In the
allocation of funds under this section, special attention should be given
to increasing agricultural production in the countries with per capita
incomes under $300 a year and which are the most severely affected
by sharp increases in worldwide commodity prices."
SEC. 3. (a) None of the moneys made available under the Foreign
Assistance Act of 1961 or the Foreign Assistance Act of 1974 may be
used, beginning on the date of enactment of this section, during fiscal
year 1975 to procure agricultural fertilizers for, or to provide such
fertilizers to, South Vietnam.
(b) During each fiscal year after fiscal year 1975, of the total amount
obligated or expended for such fiscal year under the Foreign Assistance
Act of 1961 to procure agricultural fertilizers for, or to provide such
fertilizers to, foreign countries, not more than one-third of such
amount may be obligated or expended to procure such fertilizers for,
or provide such fertilizers to, South Vietnam.

other donors, and the multilateral financial institutions, a com-
prehensive plan for Indochina reconstruction and economic
development;

consumption-oriented expenditures to economic development;
(5) to identify possible structural economic reforms in areas
such as taxation, exchange rates, savings mechanisms, internal

Congress and the executive branch to judge the adequacy of the
recipient's efforts and to determine whether, and what amounts
of, continued United States funding is justified; and

to increased economic development, thereby contributing to a commu-
nity of free, secure, and prospering nations in the Middle East.

POLICY ON TIIE INDEPENDENCE OF ANGOLA, MOZAMBIQUE, AND

Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea-Bissau marks a significant advance
toward the goal of self-determination for all the peoples of Africa,
without which peace on the continent is not secure.

(2) Congress finds that progress toward independence for the Por-
tuguese African territories will have a significant impact on the inter-
national organizations and the community of nations.
(3) Congress commends the Portuguese Government's initiatives on
these fronts as evidence of a reaffirmation of that Government's sup-
port for her obligations under both the United Nations Charter and
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
(b) Therefore, Congress calls upon the President and the Secretary
of State to take the following actions designed to make clear United
States support for a peaceful and orderly transition to independence
in the Portuguese African territories :
(1) An official statement should be issued of United States sup-
port for the independence of Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea-
Bissau, and of our desire to have good relations with the future
governments of the countries.
(2) It should be made clear to the Government of Portugal that
we view the efforts toward a peaceful and just settlement of the
conflict in the African territories as consistent with Portugal's
obligations under the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
partnership.
(3) The United States should encourage United Nations sup-
port for a peaceful transition to independence, negotiated settle-
ment of all differences, and the protection of human rights of all
citizens of the three territories.
(4) The United States should open a dialog with potential lead-
ers of Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea-Bissau and assure them
of our commitment to their genuine political and economic
independence.
(5) The economic development needs of the three territories
wi;Ll be immense when independence is achieved. Therefore, it is
urged that the United States Agency for International Develop-
ment devote attention to assessing the economic situation in
Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea-Bissau and be ready to
cooperate with the future governments in providing the kind of
assistance that will help make their independence viable. In addi-
tion, the United States Government should take the initiative
amon other donors, both bilateral and multilateral, in seeking
significant contribution of development assistance for the three
territories.
(6) In light of the need of Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea-
Bissau for skilled and educated manpower, a priority consider-
ation should be given to expanding current United States
programs of educational assistance to the territories as a timely
and. substantive contribution to their independence.
(c) Reports should be submitted to the Congress on the implemen- Reports to
tation of the proposals set forth in subsection (b) and Congress should congress.
be kept fully informed on developments in United States policy
toward the independence of the Portuguese African territories.
CONVENTIONAL ARMS TRADE

Other nations in that in particular areas of the world it increases
the danger of potential violence among nations, and diverts scarce

agreements among supplier and recipient nations.

tries as "Most Seriously Affected" by the current economic crisis. These note.
are countries without the internal food production capability or the
foreign exchange availability to secure food to meet their immediate
food requirements. The Congress calls upon the President and Secre-
tary of State to take the following actions designed to mobilize appro-
priate resources to meet the food emergency :
(1) Review and make appropriate adjustments in the level of
programming of our food and fertilizer assistance programs with
the aim of increasing to the maxiniuni extent feasible the volume
of food and fertilizer available to those countries most seriously
affected by current food shortages.
(2) Call upon all traditional and potential new donors of food,
fertilizer, or the means of financing these commodities to immedi-
ately increase their participation in efforts to address the
emergency food needs of the developing world.
(3) Make available to these most seriously affected countries
the maximum feasible volume of food commodities, with appro-
priate regard to the current domestic price and supply situations.
(4) Maintain regular and full consultation with the appro-
priate committees of the Congress and report to the Congress and
the Nation on steps which are being taken to help meet this food
emergency. In accordance with this provision, the President shall
report to the Congress on a global assessment of food needs for
fiscal year 1975, specifying expected food grain deficits and cur-
rently planned programming of food assistance, and steps which
are being taken to encourage other countries to increase their par-
ticipation in food assistance or the financing of food assistance.
Such report should reach the Congress promptly and should be
supplemented quarterly for the remainder of fiscal year 1975.
(5) The Congress directs that during the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1975, not more than 30 percent of concessional food
aid should be allocated to countries other than those which are
most seriously affected by current food shortages, unless the Presi-
dent demonstrates to the appropriate Committees of the Congress
that the use of such food assistance is solely for humanitarian
food purposes.
(6) The Congress calls upon the President to proceed with
the implementation of resolutions and recommendations adopted
by the World Food Conference. The Congress believes that it
is incumbent upon the United States to take a leading role in
assisting in the development of a viable and coherent world food
policy which would begin the task of alleviating widespread
hunger and suffering prevalent in famine-stricken nations. The Presidential
President shall report to the Congress within 120 days of enact- report to
ment of this Act on the implementation of the resolutions and Congress,
the extent to which the United States is participating in the
