MEETING WITH REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS
Tuesday, September 9, 1975
8:00-9:30 a.m. (90 minutes)
The Cabinet Room
From: Max L. Friedersdorf m.f.
I. PURPOSE
To discuss with Republican Leaders the veto of the
Education Appropriations Bill, status of the energy
issue, Turkish Aide and the Middle East settlement.
II. BACKGROUND, PARTICIPANTS AND PRESS PLAN
A. Background:
1. The House will vote today on an attempt to override
the President's veto on the Education Appropriations
Bill which is $1.2 billion over the budget. Prospects
for sustaining the veto are discouraging.
2. The Senate has scheduled a vote for 3:00 p.m. tomorrow,
Wednesday, September 10, on an attempt to override the
President's veto of the six month extension of the
Emergency Petroleum Allocation Act.
3. The House failed by a vote of 206-223 on July 24, 1975,
to lift the ban on military aid to Turkey. Attempts to
schedule another vote before the August recess failed
and the issue is still pending before the House Rules
Committee. "Doc" Morgan has indicated he prefers not
to push the issue in Rules Committee until talks concern-
ing Cyprus scheduled in New York this week are concluded.
4. Egypt and Israel have signed a Middle East settlement
negotiated by Secretary Kissinger. Stationing of
American technicians as monitors is receiving scrutiny
by Congress and the House and Senate will consider con-.
current resolutions of approval. The Administration is
hopeful that the concurrent resolution can be approved
in the next ten days.

OIL DECONTROL
1.
As most of you know, the Federal allocation and price control
authorities on petroleum expired on August 31, 1975.
2. Over the last several months, I have tried repeatedly to
compromise with Congress on this issue.
3. Just before the August recess, I submitted a 39-month phased
decontrol plan which included a $11.50 cap on new oil. It went
more than half-way in meeting the concerns voiced by Members
of Congress. By increasing the quantity of oil decontrolled
from 1 1/2% the first year to 2 1/2%, then 3 1/2% in the last
15 months and gradually increasing the cap by $.05 per month,
it would have rolled back prices during the first year and
assured that future OPEC price increases would not be mirrored
in higher domestic oil prices. Unfortunately, it was rejected
by the House of Representatives.
4. At Mike Mansfield's and Carl Albert's request, I indicated that
I would be willing to sign a 30-40 day extension of the EPAA
if I could be reasonably assured that Congress would accept my
39-month decontrol plan. I believe such an approach is best,
and a compromise would be in the nation's best interest.
5. While I would like to compromise, I have heard statements from
some Members of Congress who appear to be putting politics
ahead of the development of a national energy policy. While
I hope they don't prevail, it now appears that compromise is
not possible until after my veto of any extension of price
controls is sustained. However, to ease the impacts of
immediate decontrol, I will take several steps.
6. First, I will remove the supplemental fees on petroleum imports
and again support a windfall profits tax and rebates to consumer
of the tax revenues. This will keep the price increases from
decontrol to very modest levels.
7. As part of the natural gas emergency legislation, I will propose
shortly, I will ask for authority to allocate and control the
price of propane, such as farmers and rural homes get needed
supplies at reasonable prices.
8. Finally, I will submit legislative proposals to help independent
refiners and marketers adjust to decontrol. For independent
refiners, new legislation will provide a continuation of the
subsidies they now receive under the allocation act. These
subsidies will phase out gradually to ease the transition back
to a free market. For independent marketers of gasoline, I will
propose legislation to provide for legal remedies if coercive
action is taken by major oil companies.
Propane is a petroleum product which is used in agriculture for
crop drying, rural home heating and in industrial and electrical
utilities. Under the Emergency Petroleum Allocation Act (EPPA) ,
the FEA allocated propane and controlled its price. Using these
authorities, historical users such as farmers were assured needed
supplies. Because of the natural gas shortage, large industrial
and utility users who are curtailed may attempt to subsitute
propane. Such purchases could divert large quantities of propane
from historical users or cause large price increases.
Because the President intends to veto the six month extension of
the EPAA, new authorities are needed to protect historical propane
users. The President will request legislation as part of compre-
hensive emergency legislation to deal with the natural gas shortage,
which will:
Provide allocation and pricing authorities for all propane
use.
Assure historical users of adequate supplies at reasonable
prices.
Regulate the use of propane by new industrial users who
are experiencing natural gas curtailments.
CONFIDENTIAL
BACKGROUND MATERIAL AND TALKING POINTS
ON RESTORATION OF MILITARY ASSISTANCE TO TURKEY
I.
BACKGROUND
A. Congressional Developments: On July 24, the House failed to
adopt Senate Bill 846, legislation which would have partially lifted the
embargo on U.S. military assistance to Turkey. The Senate, on July 31,
introduced and passed legislation containing identical language. The bill
was then sent to the House and referred to the Rules Committee. Chairman
Madden, however, refused to convene his committee in time for the
legislation to come to a vote on the House floor before the August recess.
Congressman Morgan, chairman of the International Relations Committee,
is not expected to request the Speaker to ask the Rules Committee to act
on the bill until after the current round in the intercommunal talks conclude:
in New York at the end of this week. There are indications from the Hill
that there are sufficient votes in the Rules Committee to get the measure
reported to the House floor, and that efforts by the opposition to have the
bill sent back to the International Relations Committee for additional
hearings will fail. If the bill is reported favorably by the Rules
Committee after the Yom Kippur recess (September 13-17), the House
vote can probably be expected during the fourth week of September.
B. Turkish Developments: Following the failure of the Congress
to restore military assistance to Turkey, the Demirel government on
July 26 acted to suspend all American activities at the joint US-Turkish
bases, indicating that in their view the United States had unilaterally
abrogated the 1969 Defense Cooperation Agreement (DCA) which links
the bases with provision of U.S. military assistance. Ankara also
announced that Turkey would not renegotiate the DCA while the U.S.
arms embargo remains in effect. On July 28, you expressed your
concern over the Turkish retaliatory action in a letter to Speaker Albert,
calling for House reconsideration of the issue at the earliest opportunity.

Meanwhile, NATO military authorities have again voiced concern that
the continued arms embargo and suspension of American operations at
the joint bases has had a serious adverse impact on Alliance defenses
in the Eastern Moditerranean.
Turkish leaders appear to understand that their long-term interests
require a negotiated settlement on Cyprus. The forward movement.
during the late July-early August Vienna III intercommunal talks have
been encouraging, with concessions on both sides. Specifically, the
Greek side allowed some 9, 000 Turkish Cypriots in the Greek Cypriot
zone to move north and agreed in principle to a bi-zonal federation with
a weak central government. The Turkish side agreed for the first time
to discuss, in future meetings, territorial concessions and percentages
of the land area to be occupied by the two communities on Cyprus. More
recently, Ankara publicly announced the return to Turkey last week of
some 1, 500 army commandos stationed on Cyprus since July 1974.
Your purpose in this meeting with the leadership will be:
- - to urge maximum support for favorable action in the House when
the compromise legislation on Turkish military assistance reaches the
floor later this month.

II. TALKING POINTS
A. Legislative Action
1. At the outset, let me express my appreciation to all of you
for your efforts before the August recess to gain passage of legislation
which would have restored military assistance to Turkey.
2. As I emphasized in my July 28 letter to Speaker Albert, early
positive action on Turkish military assistance is essential to U.S. and
NATO interests. I would hope that you will be able to move the House
bill through the Rules Committee and to the floor without delay, and that
a favorable vote would be forthcoming by the end of this month at the
very latest.
3. The need is for immediate legislation to restore to an important
NATO ally access to U.S. sources of supply to maintain operational their
American-furnished military equipment.
4. Resumption of military assistance will enable Turkey to fulfill
its NATO commitments, will permit us to renegotiate the use of joint bases
in Turkey, and will -- most importantly -- remove a substantial impediment
to progress in the Cyprus negotiations.
5. We will need your leadership and support on the House floor
when the Turkish aid bill comes to a vote.
6. Have you had the opportunity yet to take a House Whip check?
If so, what are the results? What is the mood of the House and when can
we expect a vote on this measure?
B. Turkish Developments
1. As a result of the prolongation of the arms embargo, the
downward spiral in US-Turkish relations which began last February has
continued and intensified.
2. The Turkish suspension of U.S. activities at joint US-Turkish
bases has remained in effect since July 26.
CONFIDERTIAL (GDS)
GONF IDENTIAL

3. From the Turkish point of view, the military assistance
embargo remains a serious impediment to resolving the bases issue
and obtaining substantive progress on Cyprus.
4. The Turks showed flexibility at the last intercommunal talks
held in Vienna,
5. Even so, last week the Turks announced the return to Turkey
of 1, 500 army commandos who had been stationed on the island since
last summer.

8. There can be no doubt as to the need to restore military aid
to Turkey. It is entirely in the best interests of the United States.
Favorable House action is essential.

CONFIDENTIAL - XGDS
TALKING POINTS - - MIDDLE EAST
1.
Before going into the details of Henry's recent visit to the Middle East,
let me make the following comments about the present disengagement
agreement between Egypt and Israel. First, long before I sent Henry
to the area, it was clear that we had to continue movement toward a
settlement, either by a partial step or by an overall approach. As you
know, we have been attempting for many months to establish a success-
ful negotiation between both countries. The divergence of their positions
following the March discussion, however, made this extremely difficult
and forced us into a thorough review of our alternative courses of diplo-
matic action. It was clear, however, that we had to continue movement
toward a settlement, either by another partial step or by attempting an
overall approach. Accordingly, I sent Henry on this latest trip.
2.
I regard this present agreement as an achievement about which the
United States can be justly proud. Some Americans are undoubtedly
cautious about a deeper U.S. involvement in the Middle East and an
American presence in the Sinai as a result of the agreement, but the
price this country has to pay is small indeed in comparison to what we
would have had to pay if there had been no agreement at all. The positive
advantages of the agreement are many a stabilization of the conflict
for a period, an improvement of the U.S. position in the Middle East,
a continued reduction and isolation of Soviet influence in the area, the
reaffirmation of the strength of our relationship with Israel, and the
opening of a doorway to further future movement toward a final settle-
ment.
3.
Henry could you please discuss the results of your trip.
[Secretary Kissinger's remarks. ]
4. Let me conclude by reiterating my deep personal gratitude at the success
of the negotiations. We have managed to avert a serious deterioration in
the Arab-Israeli situation that could have resulted in war; we have given
ourselves and our friends important advantages in the Middle East; and
we have kept the door open to further future movement toward a final
settlement. It is important, in fact, to recognize that this agreement
is not a final act but is only a step toward a conclusive and lasting peace.

Its significance is that it gives us time and opportunity to solve the
other problems related to a final settlement without the threat of
imminent conflict.
5.
The responsibility, however, to continue our efforts is still with us;
to this end, we will need the continued confidence of all parties, Arabs
as well as Israelis. We cannot be generous with one side and turn our
back on the other; this is the essential reason why I shall be asking
the Congress for increased assistance for Egypt when the Administra-
tion's assistance request for the Middle East goes forward, and why it
is essential that we honor certain requests from Arab countries for
U.S. military equipment. I shall count on your support for these
programs.
6.
I thank you for your encouragement in the past, and I urge your firm
and active support for the present agreement.

Henry Dudley has just informed me that his law partner had dinner
with Doc Morgan last night. He reports that Morgan indicated that
he believes we now have the votes on the Rules Committee to get
favorable action on the Turkey aid matter. It is scheduled for
2:00 p.m. this afternoon in the Rules Committee.
Morgan further reported that Ray Madden said that he will not
object this time. He noted the heavy pressure brought upon him
by the American Legion.
Dudley spoke with Claude Pepper last night. Pepper indicated that
his vote was guided by his "heavy Greek constituency". "I was even
decorated by the Greek Government." Dudley got the impression that
Pepper, for the reasons we discussed in our own meeting with Dudley,
might vote with us in the Rules Committee, and then vote against us

Dear Colleague:
Last week I circulated a letter from Dr. Herbert Scoville
stating that the Turkish bases have only marginal utility in
verifying past and future strategic arms limitation agreements.
It seemed to me that Dr. Scoville's views had an important bearing
on the claims by the Administration that the Turkish bases were
essential for this purpose. Dr. Scoville is one of the foremost
U.S. experts in the fields of strategic weaponry, arms control
and scientific intelligence gathering, with more than twenty years
of service in important posts in the Department of Defense, Central
Intelligence Agency and Arms Control and Disarmament Agency.
In connection with the Administration's efforts to obtain
consideration of a revised compromise resolution on a partial
lifting of the ban on arms shipments to Turkey, I received a phone
call yesterday from Dr. Fred C. Ikle, Director of. the U.S. Arms
Control and Disarmament Agency. Dr. Ikle called to say that he
considered the bases very important for monitoring both present
and future arms control agreements. I suggested to Dr. Ikle that
he review Dr. Scoville's letter and give me his comments, and I
offered to give his comments the same distribution that I had given
to Dr. Scoville's letter. Both letters are attached, in order
that Members may draw their own conclusions as to the adequacy of
Dr. Ikle's response to the points made by Dr. Scoville.
Sincerely,
John SEIBERLING, ILC.
JFS:jmb
July 31, 1975
Dear Congressman Seiberling:
I wish to follow up on your questions as to the importance of U.S.
bases in Turkey for the verification of arms control agreements. In
particular, you were interested in my reactions to the letter by Doctor
Herbert Scoville, Jr. which you inserted in the Congressional Record of
July 22, 1975.
In his letter, Dr. Scoville states that the bases in Turkey are not
well located to monitor the SALT Interim Agreement and the ABC1 Treaty.
While the sites in Turkey have made some contribution to monitoring the
AB1 Treaty, it would be shortsighted to consider the verifiability of only
those limitations which were agreed to in the past. The Interim Agree-
ment will expire in two years and the SALT II agreement now under negotia-
tion will have additional limitations more difficult to monitor. Moreover,
we must ensure that our verification capabilities will be adequate for
further limitations and reductions to be negotiated after SALT II. If
we permit our verification capabilities to contract, how can we expand the
scone of future arms control limitations?
Many members of Congress expressed an interest in limiting cruise
missiles. As far as we can anticipate, the verification of such limits
will have to be based primarily on the observation of tests. For this
purpose, bases in Turkey would play a crucial role; without them, any
actual or likely potential test locations could not be monitored. It
would take many years and considerable investment to develop alternate
means of verification, if the gap could be closed at all.
We must also keep in mind that the Soviets may change the location
of their test sites or the way in which they use them. This possibility
lends added importance to the U.S. monitoring facilities in Turkey.
The suggestion has been made that the facilities in Turkey could be
moved to another country. But this would forfeit Turkey's unique geo-
graphic location. Moreover, such a relocation would almost certainly en-
tail new political vulnerabilities.
Classified data necessarily omitted from this letter would lend
greater clarity and force to these conclusions. However, the importance
of the Turkish bases for the monitoring of arms limitations agreements
can be sufficiently appreciated, I think, from the considerations sketched
here.
Please let me know if I can provide you with additional information.
Sincerely,
FRED.C. IKLE, Director
United States Arms Control and
Disarmament Agency
July 20, 1975
Dear Congressman Seiberling:
This is in answer to your request for my views on the usefulness of our
Turkish bases for verifying the SALT agreements. I understand that it has been
argued that these bases are essential for ensuring that the Russians are not
violating the SALT I ABi1 Treaty and Interim Agreement on Offensive Weapons and
that they are also necessary if we are to verify any future agreements deriving
from the Vladivostok Accords.
While there is no doubt that the Turkish bases provide useful information
on certain aspects of the Soviet military complex, to say that they are essen-
tial for verifying past or future SALT agreements would appear to be such an
exaggeration as to raise questions as to the sincerity of those making the
statements.
First, with respect to the ABM Treaty, the bases would appear of marginal
if any value. A glance at the globe will show their unsuitability for observa-
tions of the Soviet ABil Test Site at Sary Shagun, which is on Lake Balkash
about 2,000 miles east of Turkey. That country is far less satisfactory for
observing activities at the Test Site than would be bases in countries directly
to the south. Turkey is not a good location for observing whether their radars
are being tested in the ABH mode or their SAM missiles are being tested against
incoming ballistic missiles. It has no value at all for verifying deployment
of ABMs. While the Turkish bases are closer to the Russian ICBM, IRBM, or MRBN
test launch areas, which are north of the Caspian Sea, information on such
firings that might come from the Turkish bases is not of any great value in
verifying the ABM Treaty.
The Turkish bases provide no information relative to the Interim Agree-
ment on Offensive Weapons, since this agreement only freezes deployment of
offensive missiles, not their development or testing. Information on
deployment comes from observation satellites, not from surface observation
posts. Thus, the Turkish bases have little if any value in verifying either of
the SALT I Hoscow Agreements.
It is harder to be so categorical relative to future agreements, since
details on these are still unknown. However, looking at the Vladivostok
Accords, it is doubtful whether the bases can be very important. As with the
Interim Agreement, these bases have no relation to the ceiling on deployment of
delivery vehicles.
They could be of some value relative to the ceiling on HIRVd missiles,
since a factor here is what types of missiles have been tested with ilIRVs.
However, the key observation [point] to determine this is not at the launch end
of the test range, but at the re-entry point which occurs on the Kamchatka
Peninsula in the Pacific Ocean. Both of those areas are subject to observation
from U.S. ships or land areas. It is these locations, not the Turkish bases,
which have provided the information that the Secretary of Defense has used to
announce Soviet MIRV tests. If observation of the launch areas were essential,
then verification would be impossible, regardless of whether we had the Turkish
bases, since there is nothing to prevent the Russians launching from one of
their operational sites far from the Turkish bases. Finally, there are other
land areas closer than Turkey for observing the current Soviet missile test
launch area to the north of the Caspian Sea.
In sum, the Turkish bases have only marginal utility in verifying past or
possible future SALT agreements. Other observation sites and satellites would
appear much more useful. SALT cannot be reasonably used as a justification for
making a decision on our Turkish aid program.

You will recall that just before the August recess
Charlie Rangle held out hopes that he and perhaps several
other members of the Black Caucus might vote to lift the
embargo on arms shipments to Turkey if in return they
were assured that the President would take a stronger
stand on narcotics control. The President spoke with
Rangel by phone from Helsinki, and sent him a letter.
Rangel believes that the President is further committed
to!
1. Make a public statement according high priority
to narcotics control.
2. Meet with Rangel and other concerned Congressmen
to discuss the issue.
If this can be arranged, Rangel has said that he and
some friends would support S. 2230.
It seems to me that it is in the President's interest
to publicly reiterate a strong stand against narcotics
trafficking. The possibility of getting some Black Caucus
votes for lifting the embargo make this a propitious time
to make such a statement.

With regard to Walter Jones' report to you on pick ups in the
North Carolina delegation, he gives me the following run down.
Walter Jones -- OK before and will be with us again.
Fountain -- OK before and will be with us again.
Henderson -- OK before and will be with us again.
Ike Andrews -- Voted wrong and will definitely switch to vote OK.
Neal - Voted wrong and now a strong possibility of a switch.
Preyer -- OK before and still with us.
Rose -- Voted wrong before and phoned from Copenhagen to advise that
if the President signs the Tobacco Bill he will switch his
vote on Turkish Aid.
Hefner ---- Voted wrong and now is slight possibility to switch.
Jim Martin -- Voted wrong and still a lost cause.
Jim Broyhill - Voted OK and still with us.
Roy Taylor -- Voted wrong but has switched and will definitely be with u:
This means we have picked up two definite switches (Andrews and Taylor) ;
one strong possibility (Neal) ; one slight possibility (Hefner), and
one definite switch if you sign the Tobacco Bill (Rose)
As the deadline for signing the Tobacco Bill comes on mid-night
October 1, the same day the Turkish Aid Bill will be on the House
floor, we could probably definitely wrap up Neal and Hefner if
you decide to sign the bill. Walter Jones said to also tell you
that if you decide to veto it he would urge that no mention of
the Parliamentarian procedure be used in your veto statement and
I assured him that I felt certain this would not be done.
And as I mentioned to you and Dr. Kissinger, Walter said another
big help would be to allow the sale of tobacco to Egypt which
wants to buy 14.9 million pounds according to Congressman Jones.
