PRINCIPAL. PURPOSES Or TILE BILL The principal purposes of the bill are : to authorize appropriations totaling $2,673,126,000 for the 1975 fiscal year for certain foreign eco- nomic, military assistance and credit sales programs; to establish policy guidelines and limitations concerning United States assistance to and involvement in Indochina and to phaseout the military grant assistance program and United States military missions abroad. The amount recommended by the Committee represents a reduction of $579,100,000, or 18 percent, in the Executive Branch request. SUMMARY Or MAJOR POLICY PROVISIONS IN THE BILL 1. Policy.--States a Congressional policy concerning the political/ military situation in Indochina and principles to guide the U.S. eco- nomic assistance program... 2.

Presidential Waiver.-Authorizes the President to waive any pro- hibitions on assistance to countries because they are trading with a designated country. AUTHORIZATION Or, iVPPRorRIATIONS 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 $2,673,126 comprised of $2,447,000 for economic assistance to Indochina (other than Public Law 480 assistance), security support- ing assistance, a new Middle East contingency fund, and the foreign military assistance and sales programs ; $298,400,000 in supplemental authorizations for other economic assistance programs; and $27,726,- 000 for United States contributions to meet the expenses of the Inter- national Commission of Control and Supervision in Vietnam. 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 military aid authorizations. Next year the Committee fully expects to deal with foreign assist- ance 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. WPM-Support of Allies (Ammunition) Costs for acquisition, storage and maintenance of war reserve munitions for Vietnam, Thailand, and Korean forces. This con- stitutes the onyl 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): ExoERPTs FROM REPORT TO THE COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN RELATIONS, UNITED STATIC:', SENATE BY THE GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE STOCKPILING OF WAR RESERVE MATERIALS FOR USE BY UNITED STATES ALLIES (11-159451) We determined from DOD planning and programing docu- ments that the approved force levels used to plan future requirements 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 Approved For Release 2006/11/11 : CIA-RDP79-00957AO00100010016-1 Approved For Release 2006/11/11 : CIA-RDP79-00957A000100010016-1 33 planning began with the development of the fiscal year 1972 Defense program. Some available assets were allocated for 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 allocated $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. Army Small arms ammunition Mortar ammunition Artillery ammunition Tanks 1 Tank recovery vehicles 1 Machine guns Portable radar sets 1 Rocket launchers 1 Minor miscellaneous items Landing boats Spares and repair parts 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 base. 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 i reserve for allies represents a portion of the total war reserve in excess of U.S. approved force requirements, DOD can now 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 proper into the war beat could replace Theefo e this pro- curement, although labeled as allied reserve, modernizes the U.S. Army Force while increasing the total assets available as war reserves.

If a future emergency arises overseas, DOD could reduce the approved force requirement level and immediately make the war reserve for allies available as ,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 a 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 Sta.t. 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 2 of part II of this Act for the fiscal year in which such 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- tary unless such article or material has been charged against the limita- tion specified 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. Section .13. Costs of Military Assistance Advisory Groups and Mis- sions This section adds a new section 516 to the Foreign Assistance Act which requires that effective July 1, 1975, all costs of U.S. military missions, groups, or similar organizations, including pay and allow- ances of assigned military personnel, be charged against funds made Approved For Release 2006/1 1/11 : CIA-RDP79-00957A000100010016-1 Approved For Release 2006/11/11 : CIA-RDP79-00957A000100010016-1 available for the military assistance program. The purpose of the provision is to insure that the funds approved by the Congress for foreign military assistance shall bear the full costs of all activities related to the military assistance program and thus accurately reflect the true cost of the program to the taxpayer. As it is, the major costs for military missions are now paid out of the Department of Defense budget, not the military 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 foreign military assistance funds. The remainder, $57,- 522,900, would be paid from appropriations for the Defense Depart- ment, absent the enactment 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.

Approved For Release 2006/11/11 : CIA-RDP79-00957A000100010016-1 Approved For Release 2006/11/11 : CIA-RDP79-00957A000100010016-1 Section 14. Termination of Authority-Phase Out of Military Grant Assistance and Military Missions Section 14 will phase out military grant assistance programs, other than training, and U.S. military missions and groups over a period of 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 14 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 program, bears little relation to the world of today. The cold war is over. The 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 re- ceiving 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 mili- tary training) furnished that country in fiscal year 1974 under Chap- ter 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 foreiLrn 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 in con- Approved For Release 2006/1 1/11 : CIA-RDP79-00957A000100010016-1 Approved For Release 2006/11/11 : CIA-RDP79-00957A000100010016-1 37 nection with the military sales program, who are not formally assigned to a military mission or group. The functions performed by these mili- tary men, in training foreigners 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 provided 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 connection 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.

Osca ise the preponderance of ti.na daaatad 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 fareign 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 governmant 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 2006/1 1/11 : CIA-RDP79-00957A000100010016-1 Approved For Release 2006/11/11 : CIA-RDP79-00957A000100010016-1 39 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 tht'i^ 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 15. Termination 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 is fiscal year 1974. Within this fiscal 1975 ceiling, no more than $91.5 million may be used for grants, including grants of excess defense articles, three-forths of the grant program in fiscal year 1974. Beyond fiscal year 1975, the Committee provided 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. jln millions of dollars and fiscal years] 1974 program 1975 request 1975 1976..... 1977 121.9 200.8 91.5 61.0 30.5 Grants-----------------------?------- Military assistance program------------------ --------------- defense articles E (78.1 (21 8 (161.5).-------------------------?------- (20.8)------------------------------------ ------- xcess MAP supply operations----- -------------- --------------- ---------------- Credit sales .

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-RDP79-00957A000100010016-1 Approved For Release 2006/11/11 : CIA-RDP79-00957A000100010016-1 Fcial capabilities" and that a plan be devised "for phasing out U.S. assistance." Section 16. Authorization for Security Supporting Assistance This section amends section 532 of the Act to authorize $675,000,000 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 17. Transfers Between Accounts Subsection (a) amends section 610 of the Foreign Assistance Act in two major respects. Paragraph (1) changes the transfer authority contained in section 610(a) to restrict its use only to transfers of funds into economic assistance programs. Transfers of funds appropriated for economic assistance programs for use in the military assistance program would 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, other 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 author- ized 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. Subsection (b) amends section 614 of the Foreign Assistance Act to prohibit use of the waiver authority of that section to waive the limita- tions on transfers contained in section 610 (a) of the Act. Approved For Release 2006/1 1/11 : CIA-RDP79-00957A000100010016-1 Approved For Release 2006/11/11 : CIA-RDP79-00957A000100010016-1 Section 18. Repeal of prohibition on aid to Greece This section repeals section 620.(v) of the act which prohibits assist- ance to Greece under the act and sales to Greece under the Foreign Military Sales Act except in the case of a Presidential determination that such assistance or sales are justified for overriding national secu- rity reasons. Section 620(v) was adopted by the Congress in 1971 as an expres- sion of congressional concern over the lack of democratic government in Greece. With the recent return of the Greek Government to civilian control and the restoration of constitutional forms, the committee be- lieves the provision has served its purpose and should be repealed. Section 19. Limitation upon assistance to or for Chile This section provides that the total amount of assistance that may be made available for Chile under this or any other law during fiscal year 1975 may not exceed $55,000,000, none of which may be made available for military assistance (including security supporting assist- ance, sales, credit sales, or guaranties or the, furnishing by any means of excess defense articles or items from stockpiles of the Department of Defense). The executive branch requested a total aid package for Chile amounting to $84.9 million, of which $21.3 million was for mili- tary 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. Section 00. Reconstruction, Relief, and Rehabilitation Subsection (a) amends section 203 of the Foreign Assistance Act to authorize use of the balance of repayments on foreign assistance loans for the 1975 fiscal year to be used for economic development pro- grams and reconstruction in the draught-stricken nations of Africa, relief and rehabilitation in Bangladesh and Cyprus, and in general disasters which require large, scale relief and rehabilitation efforts which cannot be met adequately with the funds made available for the contingency fund. This will result in an additional $110,000,000 being made available for these purposes in FY 1975 which, otherwise, would be returned to the Treasury. Subsection (b) amends section 639B of the Act by adding at the end thereof the following : "Notwithstanding any prohibitions or restric- tions contained in this or any other Act, the President is authorized to furnish assistance on such terms and conditions as be may deter- mine, for reconstruction and economic development programs in the drought-stricken nations of Africa." Subsection (c) adds a new section 639C which, in the new subsection (a), contains a finding of Congress that the recent flooding in the People's Republic of Bangladesh, and the civil and international strife in the Republic of Cyprus, have caused great suffering and hardship for the peoples of the two Republics which cannot be alleviated with their internal resources. It further requires that the President shall make every effort to develop and implement programs of relief and rehabilitation, in conjunction with other nations providing assistance, the United Nations, and other concerned international and regional organizations and voluntary agencies, to alleviate the hardships caused in these two nations. Approved For Release 2006/11/11 : CIA-RDP79-00957A000100010016-1 Approved For Release 2006/11/11 : CIA-RDP79-00957A000100010016-1 The new subsection (b) authorizes the President to furnish assist- ance on such terms and conditions as he may determine, for disaster relief, rehabilitation, and related programs m the People's Republic of Bangladesh and the Republic of Cyprus. Subsection (d) amends the Act to add a new section 6,391) which authorizes the President to furnish assistance, on such terms and con- ditions as he mad determine for disaster relief, rehabilitation, and re- lated programs xu the case of disasters that reguire large scale relief ,and rehabilitation efforts which cannot be met adequately with the funds available for obligation under section 451 of the Act. Subsection (e) amends the Act by adding a 'new section 639E which provides that assistance for the purposes set forth in sections 639A, ?639B, 639C, and 639D shall be distributed wherever practicable under the auspices of and by the United Nations and its specialized agencies, other international organizations or arrangements, multilateral insti- tutions, and private voluntary agencies. Section 21. 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 conducted from such facilities and they rely on the news media to perform this service. 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 22. Prohibiting Police Training Section 22, 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 law enforcement forces of a foreign country. The prohibition will not apply: '(1) with respect, to assistance rendered under section 515(e) 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 IF oreign Assistance Act of 1961 which was adopted by Congress last vear. As approved by the Committee and passed by the Senate the. provision that became section 112 would have prohibited all training Approved For Release 2006/1 1/11 : CIA-RDP79-00957A000100010016-1 Approved For Release 2006/11/11 : CIA-RDP79-00957A000100010016-1 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- gents 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 United States 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 otal United States foreign aid effort. In undeveloped, the total" areas of the world, the costs of Public safety programs 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 superseded by this prohibition, is repealed. 8eotion 23. Limitations Upon Intelligence Activities Section 25 adds a new section 661 to the -foreign Assistance Act which prohibits use of any appropriated funds by or on behalf of the Central Intelligence Agency or any other agency of the United States Government for the conduct of operations in foreign countries pur- suant to section 1.02(d) (5) of the National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 403), other than operations intended solely for obtaining neces- sary intelligence. Notwithstanding this limitation, the President may authorize and direct that any operation in a foreign country be re- sumed, or that any other operation in a foreign country be initiated, and funds may be expended therefor, if, but not before, he (1) fiznds that such operation is important to the national. security, and (2) transmits an appropriate report of his finding, together with an ap- propriate description of the nature and scope of such operation, to the committees of the Congress having jurisdiction to monitor and re- view the intelligence activities of the United States Government. Under subsection (b), the provisions of the restriction will not ap- ply during military operations by the United States under a .decla- ration of war approved by the Congress or an exercise of powers by the President under the War Powers Resolution.

Grant of Presidential Waiver Authority Duren) (1) By not later than September 30, 1977, all the functions of a military assistance advisory group, a military mission, or other or ani- zation of the United States Government in a foreign country per orm- ing activities similar to any such group or mission, shall be transferred to the Chief of the United States Diplomatic Mission to that.,country.

Amounts apropriated under this subsection are authorized to remain available until expended. Amounts appropriated under this subsection shall be available for cost-sharing expenses of United States participation in the military headquarters and realted agencies program. (b) In order to make sure that a dollar spent on military assistance to foreign countries is as necessary as a dollar spent for the United States military establishment, the President shall establish procedures for pra.graming and budgeting so that. programs of military assistance come, into direct competition for financial support with other activities and programs of the.
