THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON November 18, 1991 Dear Mr. McElwee: On behalf of the President, thank you for your letter of July 19, outlining the Church of Brethren's concerns about the humanitarian situation in Iraq. I regret the delay in responding; unfortunatley your letter was misdirected in the White House. The Administration has taken note of the strong support expressed by your members for Congressman Penny's House Concurrent Resolution 168. As you are probably aware, the U.S. Security Council has since taken decisive action to bring humanitarian relief to the people of Iraq. Security Council Resolution 706 and 712 establish a procedure whereby Iraq will be allowed to export oil valued at $1.6 billion over a six month period. Most of the proceeds will be available for Iraqi purchases of food, medical supplies, and other essential civilian needs. A key element of this plan is its provision for U.N. control and oversight to ensure that relief supplies reach all vulnerable groups in Iraq, including those deliberately deprived in the past by the Saddam Hussein regime. For you information, a fact sheet on the two resolutions is enclosed. It is now up to Saddam Hussein to respond to the United Nations. We encourage your organization to speak out and call on Iraq to act. Again, thank you for your letter presenting the Church of the Brethern's views on this important matter.

Box 50 Washington, D.C. Enclosures U.N. SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTIONS 706 AND 712 Fact Sheet Documentation 1. U.N. Security Council Resolution 706 (1991), adopted on August 15, 1991. Sets out the broad elements of the program. 2. Report by the Secretary-General Pursuant to Paragraph 5 of Security Council Resolution 706 (1991). Submitted September 4, 1991. Provides detailed recommendations on implementation of the program. 3. U.N. Security Council Resolution 712 (1991), adopted on September 19, 1991. Approves the recommendations in the Secretary-General's report. KEY ELEMENTS OF THE PROGRAM Sale of Iraqi Qil o Iraq will be permitted to export petroleum and petroleum products up to a value of $1.6 billion over a six-month period beginning September 19, 1991. Oil will be marketed and sold by the Iraqi state oil company, SOMO, under the control of the U.N. Sanctions Committee. Each contract will be reviewed by U.N. inspection agents, and approved by the Sanctions Committee under a 24-hour "no objection" procedure. o The full amount of each purchase price will be deposited by the purchaser into an escrow account set up and administered by the United Nations. o All oil will be exported via the Kirkuk-Yumurtalik pipeline which runs through Turkey. U.N. inspectors, reporting regularly to the Sanctions Committee, will be posted at points of Iraqi access to the pipeline, at the loading terminal in Turkey, and at the Iraq-Turkey border to monitor the flow of oil and to ensure compliance with the resolution. -2- o Iraq will compensate Turkey for use of the pipeline at a negotiated price. Iraq will be permitted to export an additional quantity of oil to pay Turkey in kind for this service. Disbursements from the U.N. Escrow Account Disbursements will be made from the escrow account for the following purposes (Secretary-General's cost estimates in parentheses): --30 pct deduction as a contribution to the Compensation Fund, towards settlement of claims arising from Iraq's invasion and occupation of Kuwait ($480 million); --deductions to help pay for the activities of the Special Commission and IAEA, boundary demarkation, and the return of Kuwaiti property ($96 million); --U.N. administrative costs in implementing the resolution ($25.3 million); --assistance to be provided by the U.N. directly to vulnerable groups in Iraq outside the reach of the official government distribution system ($65 million); --purchase and transportation of food, medical supplies, and other essential civilian needs for the Iraqi people to be distributed through normal Iraqi channels ($933.7 million). The amount of $1.6 billion in the escrow account will be released by successive decisions of the U.N. Sanctions Committee in three equal tranches. Release of the first tranche was authorized on September 19, 1991, subject to controls over actual disbursements as described below. Purchase and Deliveries of Humanitarian Goods o The Government of Iraq will prepare a list of its specific needs in the way of foodstuffs, medical supplies, and other essential civilian goods. This list will be reviewed by the Executive Delegate of the Secretary-General, revised as necessary, and submitted to the U.N. Sanctions Committee for approval under a "no objection" procedure. -3- After the list has been approved, the Iraqi Government (under U.N. supervision) will arrange for the purchase and delivery of humanitarian goods. In accordance with Resolution 687, goods other than food and medical supplies must be approved individually by the Sanctions Committee, under the "no objection" procedure, upon the request of the exporting country's government. 0 The Secretary-General will approve disbursements from the escrow account for approved purchases to the extent that funds are available in the current authorized tranche. o U.N. inspection agents will be stationed at the relevant ports of unloading and at the border entry points into Iraq. U.N. personnel will monitor the arrival of the supplies at border entry points, and their transportation to designated distribution centers. o U.N. personnel in Iraq, assisted to the extent possible by non-governmental organizations (NGOs), will continue to monitor the movement and impact of these supplies as they are distributed, through normal Iraqi channels, to all segments of the Iraqi population.

Box 50 Washington, DC 20002 202 546 3202 hisa Battagin Church of the Brethren N July 29, 1991 The President The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. President: During the week of July 2-7, 1991, the Church of the Brethren held its Annual Conference in Portland, Oregon. During that week, members of our church had the opportunity to consider endorsing Congressman Timothy J. Penny's House Concurrent Resolution 168, a copy of which is enclosed for your reference. H.C.R. 168 proposes to release some frozen Iraqi assets to appropriate United Nation agencies for the purpose of responding to the worsening medical crises afflicting the civilian population of Iraq. As you can see from the enclosed photocopy of the petition, nearly three hundred members of our Church made the effort to read through H.C.R. 168 and sign their names and addresses as a statement of their support. I am certain that you are well aware of the deteriorating medical and sanitary conditions in Iraq. We have appreciated your conviction and public statements indicating that the United States has no quarrel with the people of Iraq. As I am sure you are aware, both from reports from various officials of the United Nations, as well as medical delegations from this and other countries, the need for humanitarian assistance for the people of Iraq is indeed quite urgent. Estimates are that by the end of the summer, over 170,000 Iraqi children will have died from the worsening malnutrition and medical epidemics in Iraq. As indicated by the petition, many members of the Church of the Brethren believe that Congressman Penny's legislation offers a positive response to this tragic situation and provides an effective means of response through the use of appropriate UN agencies. Page 2 The President July 29, 1991 We will continue to follow H.C.R. 168 in hopes that it receives a favorable review from the House Foreign Affairs Committee and finds its way to your desk. If so, we would greatly appreciate your serious consideration of Congressman Penny's legislation when it comes before you. At that time, we would also appreciate your remembering the endorsement of many members of the Church of the Brethren regarding this important piece of legislation. With best wishes for your service to our country and the peoples of the world community, I am, Very respectfully yours, Tiniothy a.thEElever Timothy A. McElwee Director Enc: H.C.R. 168 and Church of the Brethren Petition regarding H.C.R. 168 TAM:1c IV 102D CONGRESS 1ST SESSION H. CON. RES. 168 Expressing the sense of the Congress that a portion of Iraq's frozen assets be released to UNICEF for the sole purpose of providing medical and humanitarian assistance to Iraqi citizens. IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES JUNE 18, 1991 Mr. PENNY submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Expressing the sense of the Congress that a portion of Iraq's frozen assets be released to UNICEF for the sole pur- pose of providing medical and humanitarian assistance to Iraqi citizens. Whereas medical teams from the United States have reported conditions in Iraq to be a "public health catastrophe"; Whereas widespread and severe malnutrition currently exist in Iraq due to an acute food shortage that, if not re- lieved, could become a famine; Whereas infant and child mortality are expected to double, and if conditions remain unchanged, at least another 170,000 Iraqi children under age five will die this year in addition to the 55,000 who have already died; 2 Whereas cholera, dysentery, typhoid and gastroenteritis are at epidemic proportions and incidence of all forms. of water-borne diseases will increase during the summer months; Whereas the Iraqi health care system is operating at a frac- tion of its former capacity; Whereas basic infrastructure necessary to meet public health needs-water purification, sewage treatment and electri- cal power-has been substantially reduced; and Whereas the condition of the children of Iraq are an interna- tional humanitarian concern that must be addressed im- mediately: Now, therefore, be it 1 Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 2 concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that the 3 United States should ask the United Nations to release 4 through UNICEF a portion of Iraq's frozen assets for the 5 sole purpose of providing medical and humanitarian as- 6 sistance to the Iraqi people, particularly children, with re- 7 lease of the funds contingent on Iraqi government accept- 8 ance of United Nations' oversight and control.

Sets out the broad elements of the program. 2. Report by the Secretary-General Pursuant to Paragraph 5 of Security Council Resolution 706 (1991). Submitted September 4, 1991. Provides detailed recommendations on implementation of the program. 3. U.N. Security Council Resolution 712 (1991), adopted on September 19, 1991. Approves the recommendations in the Secretary-General's report. KEY ELEMENTS OF THE PROGRAM Sale of Iraqi Oil Iraq will be permitted to export petroleum and petroleum products up to a value of $1.6 billion over a six-month period beginning September 19, 1991. Oil will be marketed and sold by the Iraqi state oil company, SOMO, under the control of the U.N. Sanctions Committee. Each contract will be reviewed by U.N. inspection agents, and approved by the Sanctions Committee under a 24-hour "no objection" procedure. The full amount of each purchase price will be deposited by the purchaser into an escrow account set up and administered by the United Nations. All oil will be exported via the Kirkuk-Yumurtalik pipeline which runs through Turkey. U.N. inspectors, reporting regularly to the Sanctions Committee, will be posted at points of Iraqi access to the pipeline, at the loading terminal in Turkey, and at the Iraq-Turkey border to monitor the flow of oil and to ensure compliance with the resolution. -2- Iraq will compensate Turkey for use of the pipeline at a negotiated price. Iraq will be permitted to export an additional quantity of oil to pay Turkey in kind for this service. Disbursements from the U.N. Escrow Account Disbursements will be made from the escrow account for the following purposes (Secretary-General's cost estimates in parentheses): --30 pct deduction as a contribution to the Compensation Fund, towards settlement of claims arising from Iraq's invasion and occupation of Kuwait ($480 million); --deductions to help pay for the activities of the Special Commission and IAEA, boundary demarkation, and the return of Kuwaiti property ($96 million); --U.N. administrative costs in implementing the resolution ($25.3 million); --assistance to be provided by the U.N. directly to vulnerable groups in Iraq outside the reach of the official government distribution system ($65 million); --purchase and transportation of food, medical supplies, and other essential civilian needs for the Iraqi people to be distributed through normal Iraqi channels ($933.7 million). o The amount of $1.6 billion in the escrow account will be released by successive decisions of the U.N. Sanctions Committee in three equal tranches. Release of the first tranche was authorized on September 19, 1991, subject to controls over actual disbursements as described below. Purchase and Deliveries of Humanitarian Goods o The Government of Iraq will prepare a list of its specific needs in the way of foodstuffs, medical supplies, and other essential civilian goods. This list will be reviewed by the Executive Delegate of the Secretary-General, revised as necessary, and submitted to the U.N. Sanctions Committee for approval under a "no objection" procedure. -3- After the list has been approved, the Iraqi Government (under U.N. supervision) will arrange for the purchase and delivery of humanitarian goods. In accordance with Resolution 687, goods other than food and medical supplies must be approved individually by the Sanctions Committee, under the "no objection" procedure, upon the request of the exporting country's government. o The Secretary-General will approve disbursements from the escrow account for approved purchases to the extent that funds are available in the current authorized tranche. o U.N. inspection agents will be stationed at the relevant ports of unloading and at the border entry points into Iraq. U.N. personnel will monitor the arrival of the supplies at border entry points, and their transportation to designated distribution centers. o U.N. personnel in Iraq, assisted to the extent possible by non-governmental organizations (NGOs), will continue to monitor the movement and impact of these supplies as they are distributed, through normal Iraqi channels, to all segments of the Iraqi population. September 20, 1991 258347 Church of the Brethren Washington Office 110 Maryland Avenue, N.E. Box 50 Washington, DC 20002 202 546 3202 hisa Battagin Church of the Brethren July 29, 1991 The President The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. President: During the week of July 2-7, 1991, the Church of the Brethren held its Annual Conference in Portland, Oregon. During that week, members of our church had the opportunity to consider endorsing Congressman Timothy J. Penny's House Concurrent Resolution 168, a copy of which is enclosed for your reference. H.C.R. 168 proposes to release some frozen Iraqi assets to appropriate United Nation agencies for the purpose of responding to the worsening medical crises afflicting the civilian population of Iraq. As you can see from the enclosed photocopy of the petition, nearly three hundred members of our Church made the effort to read through H.C.R. 168 and sign their names and addresses as a statement of their support. I am certain that you are well aware of the deteriorating medical and sanitary conditions in Iraq. We have appreciated your conviction and public statements indicating that the United States has no quarrel with the people of Iraq. As I am sure you are aware, both from reports from various officials of the United Nations, as well as medical delegations from this and other countries, the need for humanitarian assistance for the people of Iraq is indeed quite urgent. Estimates are that by the end of the summer, over 170,000 Iraqi children will have died from the worsening malnutrition and medical epidemics in Iraq. As indicated by the petition, many members of the Church of the Brethren believe that Congressman Penny's legislation offers a positive response to this tragic situation and provides an effective means of response through the use of appropriate UN agencies. Page 2 The President July 29, 1991 We will continue to follow H.C.R. 168 in hopes that it receives a favorable review from the House Foreign Affairs Committee and finds its way to your desk. If so, we would greatly appreciate your serious consideration of Congressman Penny's legislation when it comes before you. At that time, we would also appreciate your remembering the endorsement of many members of the Church of the Brethren regarding this important piece of legislation. With best wishes for your service to our country and the peoples of the world community, I am, Very respectfully yours, Juniothy Timothy A. McElwee Director Enc: H.C.R. 168 and Church of the Brethren Petition regarding H.C.R. 168 TAM:1c IV 102D CONGRESS 1ST SESSION H. CON. RES. 168 Expressing the sense of the Congress that a portion of Iraq's frozen assets be released to UNICEF for the sole purpose of providing medical and humanitarian assistance to Iraqi citizens. IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES JUNE 18, 1991 Mr. PENNY submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Expressing the sense of the Congress that a portion of Iraq's frozen assets be released to UNICEF for the sole pur- pose of providing medical and humanitarian assistance to Iraqi citizens. Whereas medical teams from the United States have reported conditions in Iraq to be a "public health catastrophe"; Whereas widespread and severe malnutrition currently exist in Iraq due to an acute food shortage that, if not re- lieved, could become a famine; Whereas infant and child mortality are expected to double, and if conditions remain unchanged, at least another 170,000 Iraqi children under age five will die this year in addition to the 55,000 who have already died; 2 Whereas cholera, dysentery, typhoid and gastroenteritis are at epidemic proportions and incidence of all forms of water-borne diseases will increase during the summer months; Whereas the Iraqi health care system is operating at a frac- tion of its former capacity; Whereas basic infrastructure necessary to meet public health needs-water purification, sewage treatment and electri- cal power-has been substantially reduced; and Whereas the condition of the children of Iraq are an interna- tional humanitarian concern that must be addressed im- mediately: Now, therefore, be it 1 Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 2 concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that the 3 United States should ask the United Nations to release 4 through UNICEF a portion of Iraq's frozen assets for the 5 sole purpose of providing medical and humanitarian as- 6 sistance to the Iraqi people, particularly children, with re- 7 lease of the funds contingent on Iraqi government accept- 8 ance of United Nations' oversight and control.
