Ellender Amendment, Fulbright
S:
Hello.
I hate to bother you. On this military appropriations bill /amendment
We are going to reconvene at 2 p. m. this afternoon. My point
of view, just to refresh your memory, on the Cooper-Church matter
and the Fulbright matter you know. Are you familiar with the provisions
prohibiting the President from
We cannot get a vote in the
Senate. I was wondering what your reaction would be to strike out all
of the language of the Fulbright Amendment out of the appropriations
bill. With the added proviso could you live with that?
K: But will that not leave the appropriations bill?
S: Yes. You would cut out all the language of the amendment but still
have the military procurement still standing.
K: But this would prevent the use of Vietnamese and Thai troops
in Cambodia and Laos.
S: It reads provide support and assistance to the government of
Cambodia and Laos in the authorization bill. I just wanted to check
with you about where would that leave you - could you live under
that.
K: We do not think SO. You can't ask the Vietnamese to sit around
while they rebuild the sanctuaries This will eventually affect our
own withdrawals.
S: You understand that we have the proviso in there.
K: Yes. You have always been a gentleman.
S: I just wanted to check with you what your attitude would be on
striking the amendment language
military procurement
authorization bill.
K: Does not permit use of Vietnamese troops in Cambodia.
S: We are in an awful fix on this bill. We could get it passed in the
Senate if we could bring it to a vote.
K: Thank you for calling me.
