Called George Gilbert, OMB, to tell him that things were moving rapidly on the House side on the Foreign Assistance Act and that our information (both from AID and Al Westphal, House Foreign Affairs Committee staff) was that Congressman Donald M. Fraser (D., Minn. ) had already or would soon introduce an amendment similar ti_adi_ena_tor Abourezk's amendment No. 1511 to S. 3394. Because the House Foreign Affairs Committee was beginning markup on the House bill tomorrow morning at 10:00, E requested verbal approval on our letter to Chairman Morgan. Gilbert said that he would try but it was unlikely that OMB would be able to give clearance before the next afternoon. Later, Mr. Cary called Jim Oliver, OMB, on the same subject underscoring the urgency of our request. I read our letter to Oliver who typed out a copy on his end. Oliver said he would do what he could but again thought it would be the next afternoon before the letter could be cleared. 10.

Testifying her Senate Appropriations subcommittee dministration's fore- ign aid requ enger was asked by Senator E W. B'he, Republican of Massachu how the inistration jus- tified co 13?4i aid to co tries like South Korea police units e "authoritar- ian." Mr Winger, aware of moire n the Con- gr to bar military aid to tee ?vernment esident Park Chung Hee bec of the espread arrosts and repression critics, id that aft in a consideration o outh orea's political and strategic importa e in Asia, the Administration decided "to au or- ize economic- and Military assistance n when we won!D, not recommend the actio of the Govermaent of South Korea." .71,PAN'S VIEW IS CTTED He said the! South Korea's strategic posi- tion was "very crucial" to Japan and that "our judgment has been shared by the gov- ernment of Japan." "Where we believe the national interest is at Stake we proceed even when we don't approve" of ii. country's policies, Mr. Kis- singer said. In the H01.:3,:, Representative Donald M. Fraser, Democrat of Minnesota, chairman of the Foreign Affairs subcommittee on interna- tional organizations, plans e, joint hearing next Tuesday with Representative Robert N. C. Nix's subcommittee on Asian and Pacific affairs, to cion iiicier proposing a possible cut- off of .militar- aid to Korea because of Mr. Park's policieei. Mr. Nix is a Pennsylvania Democrat. The Admit] iitration has requested $161- million in aid and $52-million in low-inter- est military credit sales to South Korea for the current ft E;cal year ending next June 30. Mr. Kissinger's remarks about South Korea were consistelit with the Administration's view that eiem..ity interests take precedence over lnurnan rig nits considerations in aid mat- ters. Mr. Kissing:-c. also strongly defended the Administration's aid requests for Indochina, which run more than $3-billion, on the ground that such aid was needed to main- tain "the achievement of recent years." He also disclosed that the Administration had submitted a six-year projection "which reflects our expectation of a gradually de- clining role in Indochina." Senator Daniel K. Inouye, Democrat of Hawaii, complained that the six-year projec- tion was classified "secret," and therefore the figures could not be debated publicly. Mr. Kissinger promised to declassify much of the report by next week. MIDEAST AID DEFENDED Mr. Kissinger defended the bill's requests for more than 31-billion in aid to Middle Eastern countries. He said "the program be- fore you is vital to give substance" to the new improving relations in the area. "We are witnessing one of the most ardu- ous but also one of the most hopeful develop- ments of the past generation," he said. Most of the committee members seemed favorably disposed to the aid bill, but Senator John L. McClellan, Democrat of Arkansas, chairman of the full Appropriations Commit- tee, seemed dubious about the program. [From the New York Times, July 25, 1974] EOUL Comm Dooms EWE MORE CIVILIANS ON PLOTTING CHARGE EOUL, SOUTH KOREA, July 24.-The Seoul di ct criminal court sentenced five civil- ian o death today on charges of espionage on b lf of North Korea and of plotting an uprisi against President Park Chung Hee.

SOUTH KOREAN OPPRESSION AND FOREIGN AID (Mr. FRASER asked and was given Permission to extend his remarks at this point in the RECORD and to include ex- traneous matter.) Mr. FRAF3ER. Mr. Speaker, a growing number of our colleagues are finding it difficult to justify propping up the op- pressive regime of South Korea's Park Chung lice with U.S. military assistance. How can we Justify military assistance to South Korea while Park rules with the iron hand of martial law, arbitrarily arresting, detaining, and sentencing to death all manner of political opponents? Ostensibly, the United States supports South Korea against potential aggres- sion from North Korea. But 21 years after the Korean war, it is increasing], difficult to determine which Korean government is more reprehensible. Under its present domestic policies, the Park government is its own worst enemy. How long will the oppressive regime of Kim n Sung in North Korea be seen as a greater threat to the rights and freedom of the People of South Korea than the oppressive regime of Park Chung Hee? President Park arbitrarily casts aside the rights of his countrymen by saying, "We can no longer sit idle while wasting our precious national power in imitating the systems of others." Whether he imi- tates other systems or not, he evidently expects our system to continue support- ing him. And the poll:I/Makers of our executive branch intend to fulfill his ex- pectations. Only last week Secretary of State Kissinger dismissed a congres- sional query about aid to Park with this statement: "where our national interest Is at stake, we proceed even when we don't approve." I cannot believe that the national interest of the United States is tied to Park Chung Hee's blatant disre- gard for Internationally recognized standards of decency toward his own people. Accordingly, in the Committee on Foreign Affairs, I intend to Propose a substantial reduction in the amount re- quested by the adminstration for mili- tary assistance to South Korea this year. I urge all of our colleagues to support that reduction on the House floor. And this week, the gentleman from Pennsyl- vania (Mr. Nix) and I will begin joint hearings in our two subcommittees on human rights in South Korea. Mr. Speaker, I have always been an active supporter of the concept of assist- ing developing countries in their hard task of nation building. But my support for aid legislation will diminish unless the policies of the executive branch dem- onstrate a more active concern for inter- nationally recognized human rights. I refer especially to military assistance. since military power is so often an in- strument of governmental control over the civilian population. I urge our colleagues to ask them- selves whether the traditional concern of the American people for human rights should be represented by strengthening the appressive hand of gas ernments such as that of South Korea. An editorial in the Washington Post on July 27 addresses itself to some of the concerns I have expressed here. I Include It la the RECORD at this point: Tootreta fli Sorrter KOREA Late in 1972. President Park of South Korea conducted a virtual amp against his own government, Installing martial law and setting bineustr on a cotase of arbitrary one -man rule which haa steadily Intensified since. "We cs.n no longer sit idle while wasting our prfcious national power In lint- tatlite the systems of others" Mr, Park said to those who had hoped that American- introduced democracy would put down roots In Korea.
