93D CONGRESS t SENATE I REPORT
2d Session No. 93-1299
NOVEMBER 29, 1974.-Ordered to be printed
Filed under authority of the order of the Senate on November 26, 1974
Mr. HUMPIIREY, from the Committee on Foreign Relations;
submitted the following
REPORT
The Committee on Foreign Relations, to which was referred the
bill (S. 3394) to amend the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, and for
other purposes, having considered the same, reports favorably thereon
with an amendment and recommends that the bill (as amended) do
pass.

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.

educational, scientific, or cultural nature.

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.

Section 12. 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

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.

,stockpile older items that would immediately become excess
upon replacement. 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 2006/11/11 : 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.

The new section 516 provides that effective July 1, 1975, an amount
equal to each sum expended under any provision of law, other than sec-
tion 504 of the Foreign Assistance Act, with respect to any military
assistance advisory group, military mission, or other organization of
the United States performing activities similar to such group or mis-
sion, shall be deducted from the funds made available under section
504, and (1) if reimbursement of the amount is requested by the agency
of the United States Government making the expenditure, reimbursed
to that agency, or (2) if reimbursement is not requested, deposited
in the Treasury as miscellaneous receipts.

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-

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.

r The cost of operating and maintaining TAFT's, U.S. Project manager, and U.S. Corps of Engineers is fully reimbursed
by the recipient ggovernment.
2 Defense attach6 offices (DAD)- In addition to their normal duties, defense attach6s reflected above have some respon-
sibility for administration of security assistance. 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

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 :

The Committee wishes to stress that these are ceilings only and in
no way constitute an endorsement by the Committee of aid to Korea
at these levels.
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-

year 1975.
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.

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
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 2006/11/11 : 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.
Section 24. 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.
Upon the transfer of such functions, .that group, mission, or organiza-
tion, as the case may be, shall cease to exist.
(2) On and after October 1, 1977, the total number of military
ataches assigned or detailed to the United States Diplomatic Mission
of a foreign country shall not exceed by twenty-five per centum the
total number of military attaches authorized to be assigned or detailed
to that mission on June 30, 1,974.
(3) On and after October 1, 1977, no military assistance advisory
group, military mission, or other organization of the United States
Government in a foreign country shall be established or continued un-
less such group, mission, or organization is authorized by law specifi-
cally for that country.
Effective October 1, 1977 the following changes are made:

[CIIArTIm 1-POLICY] Chapter.I-Providing Military Training
Sec. 502. [Utilization of Defense Articles and Services] Provid-
ing Military Training.
[Defense articles and defense services] Military training to any
country shall be furnished solely for internal security, for legitimate
self-defense, to permit the recipient country to participate in regional
or collective arrangements or measures consistent with the Charter of
the United Nations, or otherwise to permit the recipient country to
participate in collective measures requested by the United Nations for
the purpose of maintaining or restoring international peace and secu-
rity, or for the purpose of assisting foreign military forces in less
developed friendly countries (or the voluntary efforts of personnel
of the Armed Forces of the United States in such countries) to con-
struct public works and to engage in other activities to the economic
and social development of such friendly countries. [It is the sense of
the Congress that such foreign military forces should not be main-
tained or established solely for civic action activities and that such civic
action activities not significantly detract from the capability of the
military forces to perform their military missions and be coordinated
with and form part of the total economic and social development
effort.]
CIIAPTER 2-[MILITARY ASSISTANCE] Military Training
[Sec. 503. General Authority.
(a) The President is authorized to furnish military assistance, on
such terms and conditions as he may determine, to any friendly coun-
try or international organization, the assisting of which the President
finds will strengthen the security of the United States and promote
world peace and which is otherwise eligible to receive such assistance,
by-
(1) acquiring from any source and providing (by loan or
grant) any defense article or defense service; or
(2) assigning or detailing members of the Armed Forces of
the United States and other personnel of the Department of De-
fense to perform duties of a non-combatant nature.
(b) In addition to such other terms and conditions as the President
may determine pursuant to subsection (a), defense articles may be
loaned thereunder only if-
(1) there is a bona fide reason, other than the shortage of funds,
for providing such articles on a loan basis rather than on a grant
basis ;
(2) there is a reasonable expectation that such articles will be
returned to the agency making the loan at the end of the loan
period, unless the loan is then renewed ;
(3) the loan period is of fixed duration not exceeding five years,
during which such article may be recalled for any reason by the
United States ;
(4) the agency making the loan is reimbursed for the loan
based on the amount charged to the appropriation for military
assistance under subsection (c) ; and

preciated value of the article at the time of loss or destruction.
(.c) (1) In the case of any loan of a defense article or defense service
uvide under this section, there shall be a charge to the appropriation
for military assistance for any fiscal year while the article or service is

connection with such loan during such fiscal year; and
(B) the depreciation which occurs during such year while such
article is on loan.
(:2) The provisions of this subsection shall not apply-
(A) to any particular defense article or defense service which

used to furnish assistance to more than thirty-one countries in any
fiscal year: Provided further, That none of the funds appropriated
pursuant to this subsection shall be used to furnish sophisticated
weapons systems, such as missile systems and jet aircraft for military
purposes, to any underdeveloped country, unless the President deter-
irmines that the furnishing of such weapons systems is important to the
rnationa.l security of the United States and reports within thirty days
each such determination to the Congress. 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. Department of Defense.]
[Sec. 505. Conditions of Eligibility.

gnire, no defense articles shall be furnished to any country on a grant

equip its own military forces at adequate strength, without undue
burden to its economy.

eign relations of the Senate in writing of each such intended consent,
the justification for giving such consent, the defense article for which

tion, the President shall not give his consent under subsection (a) (1)
or (a) (4) to the transfer of any significant defense articles on the
