AMENDMENT OF FOREIGN ASSIST-
ANCE AUTHORIZATION ACT--
AMENDMENT
AMEND3CZN'T WO. lbSO
(Ordered to be printed and referred to
the Committee on Foreign Relations.)
1115OSIMIWEWS ON INDOCWINA MD
Mr. KENNEDY. Mr. President, I am
submitting today an amendment to S.
3394, the administration's pending for-
eign assistance authorisation bill for fis-
cal year 1975. The amendment. tnvolves
the bill's provision on "Indochina postwar
reconstruction."
I am offering this amendment because
reports from the field, and the admin-
istration's foreign aid presentation to
Congress. tell us once again that. the
President has failed to redirect or
change, in any meaningful way, the bane
character and purpose of our aid policies
toward the countries of Indochina.
The amendment Is an effort to heirs
remedy sonic serious shortconaings in the
adniinstration's proposal for Indochina.
It is the result of extensive inquire be
the Subcommittee on Refugees. which I
serve as chairman, and of discussions we
have had in many quarters and with
many experts in this country and over-
seas. The amendment continues and
strengthens some initiatives taken by
Congress last year, and reflects what I
firmly believe broadly represents the will
of the American people on the issue of
future assistance to the countries of Ins
dociebaa.
PUIPOHEW OW 2'EX ALWILWWWW7
The amendment seeks these been
objectives.
First, it affirms the President's MI-
thority to furnish assistance for the re-
lief. rehabilitation. and recownruction
of the peoples and countries of Indo-
china.
Second, it provides that people prob-
lems especially the needs of refugees,
civilian casualties, orphans, and inhere
disadvantaged by the war?and the re-
construction of civilian facilities?such
as housing. hospitals, clinics., and
schools shall be the overriding (=cern
and objective of American assistance to
the area.
Third, It provides that, "wherever
practicable," American assistance to In-
dochina shall be distributed "under the
auspices of and by the United Nations,
other international organizations or ar-
rangements, multilateral institutions,
and private voluntary agencies with a
minimum presence and activity of U.S.
Government personnel." In this connec-
tion, the amendment also "urges the
President to solicit the cooperation of
other governments" to support and par-
ticipate in such international efforts.
Fourth, the amendment reaffirms and
strengthens last year's congressional ban
cm American support "of pollee, or prison
conseruction and administration, within
South Vietnam." The amendment states
that?
No aosistance shall be furnished under this
section or s.ny otter provision of law, and
none of The local currencies scorning under
this section or any other provision of law.
shall be used to Inraisli funds, commodities,.
equipment, advice. irainnag. or personnel foe
the support of &gentian facilities, prisons.
police, other interned security forces, or any
program of interne.' intelligence on surveil-
lance in South Vietnam. Cambodia and Laos.
Fit Tee the amendment seeks to estab-
lish a firm ceiling, within the Foreign
Assistance Act, on funding for Indo-
china postwar reconstruction. It pro-
vides that no funds may be transferred
by the President from other parts of the
act, including pars I for development as-
&laterite. for use in Indochina during fis-
cal year 1975. This Ls necessary, Mr.
President, In light of the administration's
record last year of transfering some
$55.524,000 in development and other
funds, for use in Indochina, rather than
for the Purposes these funds were
Intended.
Thus, while Corgress acted in 1974 to
reduce the adtninietratina's request from
some 5630 to $504 million. we find at the
end of the itsCal year that the adminis-
tration, by robbing other foreign aid ac-
counts. viola ted the Intent of Congress.
Moreover, if there bad been no supple-
mental of ;49 million, the administration
was even prepared to transfer an addi-
tions-0 $60 million to Indochina from
AID' s worldwide program loan fund This
Is a distressing commentary on the ad-
ministration's attitude toward the will of
Congress and the American people, and
underscores the need again for Congress
to establish guidelines for the allocation
of Lax dollars.
Clearly, a ceiling is required on our

authorization for fun.o.g in eneeeeine,
And what nay amendment recommends
on this issue is at least a start. Hope-
fully, the Foreign Relations Committee
will pursue the concept further. Perhaps
the committee will c 'reader funding re-
strictions along the lines of section 655
of the Foreign Assistance Act, which was
sponsored in 1971 by the distinguished
senior Senator from Missouri (Mr.
SYMINGTON).
Section 655 sets an absolute ceiling on
assistance to Cambodia Perhaps this
section should be extended to all of Indo-
china, and for all funding sources. The
importance of section 655 can be meas-
ured by the aseninietration's attempt, in
this year's bill, to nullify section 655 as
It applies to the granting of excess de-
fense articles to Cambodia. I urge the
committee to reject this effort by the
administration and instead move to
apply the restrictions of section 655 to all
of Indochina, so as to control this ad-
ministration's ability to no and spend as
It pleases.
And finally, the amendment reduces
by one-half the administration's budget
request for assistance to South Vietnam,
Laos. and Cambodia. Instead of the
$943.300,000 requested by the President.
the amendment authorizes some $475
million.
Thle IS an ample American contribu-
tion for humanitarian purposes?as well
as for the general support of Saigon,
Vientiane, and Phnom Penh?in their
transition from nearly total dependence
on American aid, to belt tightening on
their part and growing assistance from
others in the international community.
Mr. President, we must finally end
lie master-client relationships between
Washington and the capitals of Indo-
aline. We must finally disengage from
sur direct and often manipulative in-
rdIvement in the reznainine political and
flilitary confrontations of the area. We
enust finally chart some new beginnings
Sn helping to repair the damage of con-
elict and heal the wounds of war. And
eve must finally shift our focus from fuel-
-lag death and destruction to accomplish-
ing the political goals of the cease-fire
greeneents.

United Nations, its specialized agencies,
the International Red Cross, and similar
organizations in relief and rehabilita-
tion programs in Indochina. Senators
may recall that last year, the Senate
adopted my amendments for this pur-
pose to the fiscal year 1974 foreign as- -
sistance authorization bill.
The record is clear that a number of
governments are prepared to support and
contribute to expanding humanitarian
programs under the international aus-
pices. This record is clear that the
International Red Cross is prepared to
upgrade and expand their efforts. The
record is clear that the United Nations
stands ready to help. The record is clear
that UNICEF has new programs under-
way, that the United Nations High Com-
missioner for Ref ugees--UNHCR?is so-
liciting international support, and that
other offices and agencies of the United
Nations are also prepared to move on
meeting humanitarian needs in Indo-
china.
But the administration's policy toward
Internationalizing assistance for Indo-
china has been ambiguous to say the
least. Despite public statements to the
contrary?before the Refugee Subcom-
mittee and elsewhere?our Government
has done very little to encourage and
support humanitarian initiatives by the
United Nations and other international
bodies. In fact, apart from indicating
some token contributions to Interna-
national Red Cross programs, the admin-
istration's presentation on foreign aid to-
tally ignores the creative possibilities in
this area of public policy and concern.
And even though in recent weeks a more
positive attitude seems to be developing
within our Government, the administra-
tion is attaching unreasonable conditions
to our support of international pro-
grams?and some high officials in our
Government seem determined to scuttle
some small programs already in opera-
tion.
I submit that such attitudes on the
part of our Government undercut the ef-
fectiveness of such organizations as
UNICEF and UNHCR, and threaten to
unravel the international framework
needed to meet the massive needs of
Orphans and 'children and war victims
throughout Indochina.
Mr. President, the time is long overdue
to stop the foot-dragging and negativism.
The time is long overdue for America to
be generous in its concern for war vic-
tims?and in its support of international
efforts to meet their needs. The amend-
ment I am introducing today would help
to accomplish this end: And I appeal to
the administration to break With the
past, and actively support new directions
In our assistance policy toward the coun-
tries of Indochina.
_ FUNDING FOR INDOCHINA
Mr. President, as I suggested earlier,
the amendment I am introducing today
reduces the President's request for as-
sistance to South Vietnam, Laos, and
Cambodia?from some $943,300,000 to
$475 million?pending our development
of a new national assistance policy to-
ward Indochina, and a More stable politi-
cal and military situation throughout the
area. this $475 million is a generous

amount, I feel, to meet our immediate
humanitarian responsibilities?and to
provide some basic transition support to
the governments involved. If we apply
the tests of humanitarian and basic sup-
port objectives to our proposed assist-
ance, a great deal can, and must, be cut
back or eliminated from the President's
request.

Again, in applying the tests of human-
itarian and basic support objectives to
the administration's allocation to South
Vietnam, relief and rehabilitation proj-
ects for war victims?and related proj-
ects to improve health care and educa-
tion and agricultural production?should
be given full support. But I strongly feel
that the number of American personnel
should be substantially reduced, that sev-
eral projects recommended by the admin-
istration should be totally eliminated,
and that still others should be drasticalle
cut back.
The projects labeled trade union de-
velopment, highway advisory assistance.
Vietnamese engineering and construc-
tion company, industrial park, export
processing zone, and some others should
be eliminated. Such projects lack hu-
manitarian priority and are part of the
illusion that Saigon's wartime economy
is ready for "take-off."
Drastic cuts should be made in other
projects--such as rural credit?and also
in the commercial import program,
which, despite administration claims,
continues. In fact, serious consideration
should be given to phasing out the corn-
mercial import program in favor of a
multilateral stabilization program along
the lines currently operative in Laos and
Cambodia. This would end, once and
for all, America's direct and singular re-
sponsibility for supporting Saigon's for-
eign exchange needs.
In the case of Laos, we should do what
we can to support the newly established
Provisional Government of National
Union--PGNU?which is a coalition be-
tween the former Royal Lao Government
and the Pathet Lao. Reports suggest that
our projected contribution of some $17,-
500,000 to the multilateral foreign ex-
change operations--stabilization----fund
will serve this purpose. But several in-
dieetors?including the administration's
prealitation to Congress and a June 10
GAO report prepared for the aubcom-
mitate on Refugees?suggest that much
of the remaining part of the adinAnistra-
tierie request for Laos is slated for one
faction of the coalition government and
for operations in territory controlled by
the fel mer Royal Lao Government forces,
I fully appreciate the difficult problems
in bringing normalization and peace to
the people of Laos, and the added prob-
lems in bringing a unified administration
to all areas of the country after many
years of civil war. We must surely rec-
ognize the need for a time of transition;
but we must not loose sight of our obliga-
tion to give the new government a chance
to work. We must guard against using our
rttilabilitatlon and reconstruction assist-
ance to Laos to perpetuate old relation-
ships and the division of that country,
which can only deter the hopeful process
of oceommodation and reconciliation,
and threaten renewed conflict in several
areas.
I an extremely hopeful, therefore, that
the administration will make every pos-
sible effort to channel basic humanitar-
ian eaeistance to Laos through interna-
tional organizations---such as UNICeere
UNHCR, and others?with the clear
understanding that the purpose of our
aid is to assist in the rehabilitation of
win- victims and the renewal or cropland
and aalcultural production in all areas
of the country. Longer term development
projects recommended by the adminis-
tnttion?such as the Vientiane water
control and Mekong Vientiane dike PM-
ecte--should probably be deferred until
greater stability is achieved in the new
government and the projects can be
undertaken with greater international
participation.
The situation in Cambodia is dismal
at beet?with a truly desperate crisis of
people and dwindling territory under the
control of the Phnom Penh government.
Clearly, the overriding need in Cambodia
today is a erase-fire agreement and a
pclitical resettlement along the lines of
recent developments In neighboring
Laos?and we should do everything pos-
sible to accomplish this end. Meanwhile.
our immediate responsibilities are the
emereency relief and medical needs of
refugees, civilian war casualties, orphans.
and others in distress?whose numbers
tragically grow with each day of con-
tinuing war. We should also continue,
alone with other governments, our sup-
port of Cambodia's exchange support?
stabilization--fund. But the administra-
tion's request of $71 million for the com-
modity import program should be dras-
tiredly reduced, if not eliminated alto-
gether.
Mr. President, although my amend-

country regarding assistance to Indo-

said by all of us in the coming weeks and
months I believe Congress acted respon-
sibly In it year in its effort to limit our
funding in Indochina. That wise deci-
sion?taut our aid must go down, not
up?hi uld not be reversed now. And in
the absence of any new directions and
initials es from our national leadership,
it is innimbent upon Congress that it
contribute to develop responsible alter-
natives.
In ccnclusion, Mr. President, let me
say thai our future aid to Indochina can
no long 3r be seen or considered in isola-
tion from our other pressing commit-
ments t nd responsibilities here at home
and and abroad. For too long our entire
foreign aid program has been held as a
hostage to our involvement in Indochina.
For toe many years we have seen other
imports nt foreign assistance programs
sacrineed in order to meet the ex-
orbitan demands of Indochina. We have
watched congressionally appropiated
funds f er poor countries shifted to pay
bills in Saigon. And we have seen crit-
ically important humanitarian assist-
ance pi ograms in other areas neglected
or abandoned, because money was
needed to fuel war and conflict in South-
east Asia. e
We ire told by Secretary Kissinger
that o ir foreign assistance program

A fa thful expression of our moral
values . . it reflects the humanitarian
dimensiA di of the American character.
But 1' money for guns and for security
assistar ce are reflections of "moral

meaning, even as our foreign assistance
prograt i has lost its bearings. It is a sad
retieetien on "the humanitarain dimen-
sion of the American character" when?
even 11 the budget request for Indo-
china?only a very small fraction of the
request goes to help the millions of people
really b need.
Remit history tells us that instability
and "tireats to the peace" involve more
than be lances of power or arms races or
military' confrontations. Famine can be
a threat to the peace. Pervasive, spread-
ing pov Irty?a widening gap between the
rich notions and the poor nations?

ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS
U.S. ARMS SAI.ES To MIDDLE EAST
COUNTRIES
Mr. KENNEDY. Mr. President, I would
like to call the Senate's attention to an
&Melo in yesterday's New York Times,
regarding the massive increase in U.S.
arms sales to Middle East countries dur-
ing the past year. Total arms sales
doubled during 1973-74, and nearly $7
billion went to the Middle East, not in-
cluding arms support for Israel and Jor-
dan Equally striking, the Export-flu-
port Bank has lent Iran $200 million in
low-interest loans to buy arms, although
Iran's oil earnings have risen by a stag-
gering amount during the past year.
Many of us here in the Senate are
deeply concerned by this trend. 'lb be
sure. arms sales help our balance of pay-
ments; to be sure, they help pay for the
oil we need from the Middle East. But in
arming the nations of the Persian Gulf?
seemingly without thought or discrimi-
nation?we may be buying ourselves more
trouble for the future than could pos-
sibly be offset by even far higher levels
of earnings from the sale of arms.
Unfortunately, the Congress has little
Or n I control over the bulk of these sales.
At the some time, the administration
does not seem to have a coherent policy
toward that important region, that would
allow It to decide whether Wins sales
either help or hinder our long-term in-
terests there. By default, our policy is
being made by the Pentagon's Defense
Security Assistance Agency?an new,
whose very title obscures its function.
And our policy there is being made by
thousands of arms salesmen?including
htmdreds of military attaches--without
effective control by our Nation's civilian
leaders.
We in the Congress must look care-
fully at these arms sales, and reassert our
constitutional function to review the for-
eign policy of the Nation. Someday we
may be called upon to pay the bill that
Is being run up now by this unguided
PolicY of selling arms in the Persian
Gulf; surely we should have some say,
now. before it Is too late.
Mr. President, I ask unanimous con-
sent that this article, by Leslie Gelb, be
Printed in the RECORD.
There being no objection, the article
was ordered to be printed in the RECORD,
Its follows:
.AR as Siir -3 Douai= ire l97374; REACH
4.84 Minion
( By Leslie Gelb)
WANNINBTON July 9.?The United States
sold some a8.5-billion in arms for the fiscal
year that ended last montb, almost double
the nrris sales for the pun lotus fiscal year
and almost $2-billion more than all the
arms sok or given away by all nations in
1971, atm rding to official Pentagon estimates.
The bu k of American arms sales. some $7-
billion, Vent to the Middle East and the
Persian Cull area. This total does not include
the $1.5- billion in arma provided free of
charge it Israel plus several million dollars
in arms k rants to Jordan and Lebanon.
While the United States remains the
world's k acting arms supplier, other nations
are also telling more.
SOVIET SOLD $2 BILLION
Pentag en estimates for arms sales in 1973
show the Soviet Union with over $2-billion,
its East lairopean Allies with over $500-mil-
lion and traerican allies with over ad-billion.
These figures are all expected to be higher
for 1974, but official estimates are not yet
available
Soviet arms sales?Moscow does not pro-.
vide free arms?went mainly to nations in
the Mid( it Neat such as Egypt, Syria and
Iraq.
Arms I ontrol experts in the Government
estimate that worldwide arms sales in the
nineteen seventies thus far have about
equaled total arms pales for all of the sixties,
even discounting for inflation..
The g1 of the American program, ac-
cording to Government sources, has been to
pile up balance-of-payments dollars at least
as much as to meet defense and diplomatic
requirere ants.
WITHOUT POLICY REVIEW
The in nesse in American arms sales. Pen-
tagon ar d State Department officials said,
has taicei place without a policy review of
the prog ism and with decisions on specific
contracts made on an ad hoc basis.
By las, Congress has authority only over
arms sal mi covered by Defense Department
sales cave its and credit guarantees, about 15
per cent of the total. Congress has no voice
and Intl* knowledge of 85 per cent of the
effort It volving Pentagon-sponsored cash
sales and commercial sales.
American sales included over $4-billion for
Iran, ovtr el-billion for Israel and around
$700-rnition for Saudi Arabia. Sales to the
area Mel aded modern aircraft, the 10-4. P-5.
and 7-14, plus helicopters and various types
of missUis.
The 7.14 is a long-range, high-perform-
ance aireraft firing the most modern missiles
and is jest now coming into use by Ameri-
can forces. The cost of one 7-14 to the United
States is about $20-million. Its cost to other
nations ,s somewhat higher.
In acklition to the large sales to Iran.
Israel ar d Saudi Arabia, there were about
$100-mit ion to Kuwait, several million dol-
lars to t se United Arab Emirates, Lebanon
and Jon- an as well as Pentagon-sponsored
cash sale c and commercial sales.
EXIMBANK LOAN TO IRAN
In a reient report to Congress, the Export-
Import Bank reported that the Pentagon had
arranged for the bank to provide a direct
long-term low-interest credit to Iran of
$200-million in 1974 "for exports of defense
articles end services." Iran has earned bil-
lions of extra American dollars since the rise
in oil prim.
Secretery of Defense James B. Schlesinger
recently, described the sales program in the
Middle I set as an attempt to "strengthen
deterrence and promote peaceful negotia-
tions by helping our friends and allies to
