Dear Mr. Martin:
The views of the Department of Defense have been requested
on H.R. 786, 103d Congress, a bill "To amend title 10, United

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
OFFICE OF GENERAL COUNSEL
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20301-1600
The Honorable Ronald V. Dellums
Chairman, Committee on Armed Services
House of Representatives
Washington, DC 20515
Dear Mr. Chairman:
This is in response to your request for the views of the
Department of Defense on H.R. 2114, 103rd Congress, a bill "To
amend title 10, United States Code, to ensure equitable treatment
for members of the Armed Forces from outside the continental
United States in the provision of excess leave and permissive
temporary duty in connection with the separation of the members
from the Armed Services."
The Department of Defense supports the goals of the
legislation, but feels it is not needed since Department policy
has been amended effective June 16, 1993. Department of Defense
Directive 1327.5, "Leave and Liberty," September 24, 1985, was
amended, increasing the allowable period of Permissive Temporary
Duty (PTDY) for the purposes of job and house hunting for eligible
members whose domiciles are outside the Continental United States
(CONUS).
H.R. 2114 would ensure that a member whose home of record is
outside the CONUS and who is stationed inside the CONUS at the
time of the separation of the member would be eligible to receive
the same amount of excess leave (30 days) or permissive temporary
duty (30 days) as a member who is stationed overseas.
This is an issue which we have addressed thoroughly with the
amendment to the Department of Defense Directive. Last summer, to
enhance the transition program, we increased the number of days of
transition PTDY that members serving overseas could take to job
and house hunt in the United States from 10 to 30 days, and for
those members stationed in the CONUS from 10 to 20 days. Members
overseas were given an additional 10 days over CONUS members in
recognition of the distances and added time required in transit
from overseas to CONUS to job and house hunt.
This change, however, excluded members who entered active
duty from, and continue to be domiciliaries of states, possessions
of territories of the United States located outside the CONUS,
including domiciliaries of foreign countries, who are stationed at
HUG 93 13:00
FROM 05D-LRS
TO SCHREIBER
PAGE 004
a location other than the state, possession, territory or country
of their domicile. These members are as disadvantaged by distances
from their intended post-service homes as members overseas
desiring to return to the CONUS after they leave the service. We
staffed the amending policy with Department of Defense agencies
and the Military Services to correct this inequity by providing
these members with 30 days transition PTDY. The attached Deputy
Secretary of Defense memorandum, Change to Department of Defense
Directive 1327.5, "Leave and Liberty," (September 24, 1985), June
16, 1993, provides this policy amendment.
The Department of Defense Directive amendment provides the
Military Services with policy guidance to ensure the same
equitable PTDY treatment as provided for by H.R. 2114, and
includes members who are stationed at any location other than the
state, possession, territory or country of their domicile.
The Office of Management and Budget advises that, from the
standpoint of the Administration's program, there is no objection
to the presentation of this report for the consideration of the
Committee.
Sincerely,

Chairman, Committee on Armed Services
United States Senate
Washington, D.C. 20510
Dear Mr. Chairman:
Reference is made to your request to the Secretary of
Defense for the views of the Department of Defense on your
legislative proposal "To provide for the relocation and
revitalization of the public facility of the National Museum of
Health and Medicine, and for other purposes."
The purpose of the proposal is to relocate the public
facilities of the museum from Walter Reed Army Medical Center to
the unoccupied areas of the east plaza of the Hubert Humphrey
Building in downtown Washington D.C. This will revitalize the
public facility of the National Museum of Health and Medicine to
serve as a central resource for instruction about and involvement
in the critical health issues which confront all American
citizens.
The Department of Defense interposes no objection to the
relocation of the museum. However, no funds have been
programmed, authorized or appropriated within the Department of
Defense budget for the construction of the museum building.
Funding responsibility for the construction of the building
should rest with the Department of Health and Human Services as
it would be for the operation of the public facilities.
The $1.5 million authorized for operational expenses in
accordance with Section 176, Title 10, United States Code can be
made available from funds allocated to the Armed Forces Institute
of Pathology for current operations of the museum. In regard to
the funding required for operation of the public facilities of
the museum the Department of Defense defers to the Department of
Health and Human Services.
The Office of Management and Budget advises that, from the
standpoint of the Administration's program, there is no objection
to the presentation of this report for the consideration of the
Committee.
Sincerely,

Dear LAB:
During the past two years WP have been studying a proposal to
relocate and revitalize the National Muscum 01 Health and
Medicine. As currently drafted, this plan would relocate the
facility (rom Walter Reed Army Medical Center to the National
Mall where it stood as one of the nation's most visited museums
between 1862 and 1968. Returned to the Mall, and with expanded
outreach capabilities, the National Museum of Health and Medicine
would again serve as one of the nation's leading public health
education organizations.
A draft of legislation to relocate and revitalize this facility
was originally forwarded to the Departments of Defense and Health
and Human Service in 1991. Preliminary (easibility and
structural studies have been concluded on the East Plaza adjacent.
to the Hubert Humphrey Building, indicating that the East Plaza
is an acceptable site for a new 56,000 square foot facility. Ar:
environmental assessment of the site is also expected 1.0 show
that the site is feasible.
In order to expedite the process of drafting the authorizing
legislation, we write to request your agency's position on the
enclosed bill language. It would be helpful if you could inform
us by August 15 of your Department's position on this proposal.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Presidential Citizens Medal for Adrian St. John
At Tab I is a memorandum for the President recommending that he
award the Presidential Citizens Medal to Major General Adrian St.
John, USA (Ret.)
In a meeting on August 18 1993, DCI Woolsey asked the Vice
President if he would be willing to present the medal to General
St. John and the Vice President agreed. Even though the medal
was approved by President Bush in November, 1992, the necessary
paperwork was not completed prior to the end of his
Administration and approval lapsed with his departure. Therefore
the President must now approve the award again. We would hope to
schedule a ceremony during the week of September 13.

FROM:

SUBJECT:
Award of Presidential Citizens Medal to Major
General Adrian St. John, USA (Ret.)
Purpose
To obtain your approval to award the Presidential Citizens Medal
to Major General Adrian St. John, USA (Ret.), after 50 years
service to the nation as a military officer and diplomat.
Background
Maj. Gen. St. John left government service last year after
serving ten years as the JCS Chairman's representative to our
conventional arms control delegation in Europe. Prior to this,
Maj. Gen. St. John distinguished himself as a highly decorated
Army officer during World War II, Korea, and Vietnam and as a
senior U.S. Army leader. CFE Ambassador Hansen's 1992 letter to
Admiral Howe, then Deputy National Security Advisor (Tab A),
describes in detail the contributions this remarkable and
dedicated man has made to our security efforts in Europe and
elsewhere for more than half a century. It is a record which
certainly meets the criteria for the Presidential Citizens Medal
established in Executive Order 11494.
President Bush approved the medal on November 6, 1992, but due to
the press of business, a presentation ceremony was never held.
Approval to present the medal lapsed with Bush's departure. Upon
request by DCI Woolsey (for whom the General worked prior to his
retirement last year), the Vice President has agreed to preside
over a ceremony, should you agree to award General St. John the
medal. We could schedule the ceremony as early as the week of
September 13.
RECOMMENDATION
That you approve awarding the Presidential Citizens Medal to Maj.
Gen. St. John.

Dear Jon:
An era in the arms control process is about to end. I am not
referring only to the CFE and CFE 1A process but to the fact
that Major General Adrian St. John will be leaving government
service having served his country in each of the last seven
decades (counting his time at West Point). In reflecting on
this remarkable soldier diplomat, Jim Woolsey and I agreed to
solicit your support in seeking appropriate White House
recognition for Adrian's unique record of service and
accomplishment.
I am confident that each of the seven MBFR/CFE ambassadors and
at least four JCS Chairmen with whom Adrian served would join
Jim and I in bearing testimony to the General's contributions
to the achievement of U.S. objectives in the field of
conventional arms control. Each would also attest to Adrian's
loyalty and dedication to his country, military service and the
Joint Chiefs of Staff. Duty, Honor, Country are concepts which
resound throughout his career.
In particular, it is Adrian's singular devotion to duty that
have made a unique asset to the country. Here is a man who, by
any measure, had earned the right to a life of leisure in
retirement after he left the Army. Instead, he signed up for
another ten years in the trenches of arms control, defending
U.S. and Allied interests with tenacity and great creativity --
at times, even grumbling that his ambassadors were
insubordinate.
The authority that Adrian commands from all sides of the
negotiating table by virtue of his intellect, experience, and
uncommon dedication has won many a point for our side. I
recall the admiration he garnered from General Officers of the
former Soviet Union when we pointed out that Adrian began the
destruction of TLE in 1944 at Normandy. Moreover, I know from
my personal experience in Vienna that his substantive vision
contributed immeasurably to our success in achieving the
- 2 -
meaningful arms control agreements that will be the foundation
of European security for decades to come. Jim Woolsey, I am
sure, will join me in this judgment.
Indeed, Adrian participated in the Normandy landings and led
his troops all the way to Berlin. Although he did not receive
a Purple Heart (it did not seem important at the time) he was
wounded twice. I have enclosed a record of Adrian's service
which covers World War II, the Korean War and Vietnam -- the
three conflicts that helped shape the U.S. role in today's
world. It is worth noting that he was severely wounded on one
of the off-shore islands of China during a special mission and
did not receive the Purple Heart for those wounds either.
To my mind, then, Adrian St. John belongs to that elite
fraternity of solider/scholar/diplomats that gave us George
Marshall and Vernon Walters -- to mention only two. (In
mentioning his credentials as a scholar, I note that if we ever
made the mistake of challenging his political analysis of an
issue, he would remind us that his Master's Thesis in
International Relations, 1951, was entitled "French Indochina:
American Dilemma."
As this wonderful and dedicated servant retires for the second
time, I believe special recognition of his lifetime's service
and devotion is warranted. I am confident that Colin Powell
would lend his support to such recognition. For my part, I
think a Presidential Medal of Freedom could be appropriate,
given Adrian's record, but I leave the decision as to precisely
what recognition is afforded to others.
I hope that you will feel able to start the ball rolling on
this matter. Please contact me or Jim Woolsey, if either can
be of further assistance. This is one case where the citation
truly writes itself.
With thanks and best wishes,
Ram Sincerely,
Lann Marvin Hansen
Ambassador
Attachment: As stated
MAJOR GENERAL ADRIAN ST JOHN
RECORD OF SERVICE
Adrian St. John II entered the United States Military
Academy on 1 July 1939 and graduated a second lieutenant of
Cavalry in January 1943. During World War II he served in the
15th Cavalry Regiment (Mechanized) as a company-level commander
in England and then in the Normandy, Northern France,
Rhineland, and Central Germany campaigns. St John was first
wounded during the Normandy breakout, when he came under sniper
fire while attempting to exit his tank, which had been set
ablaze by incoming enemy rounds. Later, while attempting to
bypass a road block, St John's armored vehicle struck a road
mine. Nearer the end of the war, while operating with his
company of about 70 men, St John captured approximately 150
POWs. As he approached Allied forces, his formation was
mistaken for an approaching enemy unit and he was again
wounded, this time by friendly fire. St John received inter
alia the Silver Star, Bronze Star for Valor, and French Croiz
de Guerre.
Transferred to the Group Control Council (later OMGUS)
after VE Day, St John entered Berlin in July 1945 with the
advance party of General Clay's headquarters. Here he worked
on establishing th e U.S. Headquarters in Berlin and in
Intelligence.
Following a tour as S3, Combat Command A, 2d Armored
Division, Fort Hood, Texas, he graduated from the advanced
Armor Course in 1949 as an honor graduate. He next studied at
the University of Virginia from which, in January 1951, he
received a Master's Degree in International Relations. His
thesis was "French Indochina: American Dilemma."
He was assigned next to the Army General Staff in
Washington and spent the following 30 months concerned with
Korea War operational matters and, later, politico-military
affairs affecting China and Southeast Asia. During this period
-- while nominally assigned to a policy staff job in Washington
-- St John was severely wounded during an operation on a
Chinese coastal island. Because of the nature of his
assignment, he never received a Purple Heart for these wounds.
After attending the Command and General Staff College in
1953-54, he was assigned to the 7th Infantry Division in Korea
where he served as S3, 31st Infantry Regiment; Commander, 3d
Battalion, 31st Infantry Regiment; and Commander, 73d tank
Battalion. In 1955 he returned to the staff and faculty of the
Command and General Staff College. In 1959 St John served in
Iran on a special mission.
Completing the U.S. Army War College in 1960, LTC St John
joined Headquarters, United States Army Pacific, at Fort
Schafter, Hawaii, where he spent four years in various plenning
- 2 -
assignments involving the Far East in general and Southeast
Asia in particular. A large percentage of this tour was served
physically in Vietnam. St John was reassigned in July 1964 to
the Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Washington, D.C.,
and spent two years working in the Long Range Strategic Plans
Branch of the Plans and Policy Directorate (j-5). In August
1966, Colonel St John departed for Headquarters, United States
Military Plans and Operations Division (J-3). During this
period st John was awarded a Legion of Merit for his OJCS
service and for his MACV duty, an Oak Leaf Cluster thereto as
well as the Vietnamese Honor Service Medal (1st Class) and the
Vietnamese Gallantry Cross.
In October 1967 Colonel St John assumed command of the 14th
Armored Cavalry Regiment, V Corps, Seventh Army, where he was
responsible for security and surveillance operations between
West and East Germany. While there he was awarded for
CINCUSAREUR Individual Project Partnership Award for his
contributions to the improvement of relations with Allied
individuals and units. After 19-plus months in command,
Colonel St. John became the Executive Officer to General James
H. Polk, Commander in Chief, United States Army, Europe and
Seventh Army. Completing that assignment in November 1969, St
John was promoted to brigadier general and served as Assistant
Division Commander (Maneuver) of the 4th Armored Division until
October 1970.
In the fall of 1970, he became chief, strategic plans and
Policy Division, j-5, in the Organization of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff. Shortly after promotion to Major General in1971, he
was assigned as Director of Plans, ODCSOPS, DA. He received
the Distinguished Service Medal for his service on the Joint
Staff and as the Army Planner.
Between August 1972 and March 1974, General St John
commanded the 1st Armored Division in Europe, for which service
he was awarded the third Oak Leaf Cluster to the Legion of
Merit. From his return to the United States until his
retirement on 1 September 1976 he served as Vice Director,
Joint Staff, Organization of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. For
this the distinguished Service Medal and the Joint Service
Commendation Medal.
In July 1982 Major General St John was called out of
retirement to serve as the Joint Chiefs of Staff Representative
and Senior Military Advisor in the U.S. Delegation to the
Mutual and Balanced force Reduction Talks. His duties were
expanded in January 1987 to Serve additionally in the same
Mutual and Balanced force Reduction Talks. His duties were
expanded in January 1987 to Serve additionally in the same
military capacity on the U.S. Delegation readying a new mandate
for Conventional Stability Arms Control in the area from the
Atlantic to the Urals. Finally, in March 1989, st John was
appointed to the same military position on the U.S. Delegation
- 3 -
for the Negotiation on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe
(CFE) where he played a central role in the successful
completion of the CFE Treaty and the CFE 1A agreement.

Currently, title 10, U.S. code authorizes U.S. armed forces

Honorable Albart Gore
President of the Senate
Washington, D.C. 20510
Dear nf. President:
Enclosed is a draft of proposed legislation "To amend
subchapter I of chapter 138 of title 10, United states code, to
provide the Secretary of Defense the authority to acquire and
transfer logistic support, supplies, and services in exercises and
operations with the United Nations Organisation or any regional
international organisation of which the United States is a member,
to authorise the temporary provision of limited items of military
equipment, to remove the limitations on the amounts that may be
obligated or accrued during a contingency operation and for other
purposes."
The proposed legislation is part of the Department of
Defense Legislation Program for the 103rd Congress. The Office
of Management and Budget advises that, from the standpoint of
the Administration's program, there is no objection to the
presentation of this proposal for consideration of the Congress.
Purpose of the Legislation
Subchapter I of chapter 138 of title 10, United States
Code, currently authorizes United States armed forces deployed
outside of the United States to acquire and transfer logistic
support, supplies, and services with NATO countries, NATO
subsidiary bodies and certain eligible or designated non-NATO
countries. This proposal would extend that authority to the
United Nations Organization or any regional international
organisation of which the United States is a member in support of
humanitarian or peacekeeping operations such as the United Nations'
sanctioned operations in Somalia.
This proposal would also permit deployed United States
armed forces to loan or borrow general purpose vehicles and
other items of military equipment which would not affect
readiness. The authority to temporarily exchange logistic
support of this nature with designated countries and
international organizations would facilitate greater oooperation
during an exercise or military operation. Section 65 of the
Arms Export Control Act, which permits loans only for research
and development purposes, would not be affected by this
proposal.
Dollar limitations in the current legislative authority
remain in place until the determination of active hostilities.
Application of these limitations to extended military activities
short of a state of declared hostilities, however, could prevent
use of these authorities when they are most needed. Therefore,
it is proposed that the dollar limitations be waived during
operations conducted in support of humanitarian and refuges
587-050 FROM 92151 $8. 12 NOS
assistance, disaster and famine relief, peacakeeping, peace
enforcement or contingency operations. United States armed
forces participating in multinational operations, like Operation
Desert Shield/Storm and Operation Restors Hope, could benefit
from this proposal by taking advantage of available coalition
resources during activities conducted leading up to or that fall
short of active hostilities.
The organisational restrictions and preconditions currently
found in sections 2341, 2342, 2344, 2347 and 2350 of title=70,
United states Code, are inconsistent with exercise acenarios and
likely United States' involvement in contingency operations in the
future. They inhibit military cooperation and the efficient use of
logistic resources that would otherwise be possible because of
rationalization, standardization and interoperability initiatives.
The enclosed proposal would correct such inconsistencies.
Cost and Budget Data
This proposal greatly benefits the United states armed
forces by increasing reciprocal logistic support with our allies
and with international organisations. The improved efficiency
in the use of logistic resources would result in dollar savings
and reduced lead-time for logistic services and supplies
required by United states armed forces deployed outside the
United States. Savings cannot be reliably estimated because
they will depend on the number and scope of transactions
concluded in the future and the degree of United states
involvement in future operations.
Sincerely,
Enclosure:

SUBJECT:
Recognition of Korean Theater Service with Armed
Forces Expeditionary Medal
You asked us to comment on, and provide a proposed response to, a
request from the Veterans of Foreign Affairs that the Armed
Forces Expeditionary Medal be awarded to all servicemen and women
who have served in the DMZ in Korea since 1953.
The Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal has traditionally been
awarded for participation in operations involving actual or
imminent combat and covering clearly defined periods of time. We
recommend that the award criteria for this medal not be extended
to cover the entire post-Korean conflict era. The letter to
Hershel Gober at Tab A notes the types of recognition that have
been given to military personnel serving in the DMZ over the past
forty years, but does not support the VFA request.

have served in the Korean DMZ since 1953. We have reviewed the
criteria for this award and the history of recognition that we
have given to our servicemen and women who have served in the DMZ
and believe that it is inappropriate to award the AFEM for the
entire post-Korean conflict period.
The AFEM was authorized by Executive Order 10977, on December 4,
1961, to honor members of the U.S. Armed Forces for participating
in significant military operations after July 1, 1958, for which
no other U.S. campaign medal is authorized. To qualify for the
AFEM U.S. military participation must have been in significant
numbers and our forces must either have encountered foreign armed
opposition or have been placed in such a position that hostile
action by foreign armed forces was imminent.
As you know, our service members stationed in South Korea have
received special recognition during specific time periods. The
first such period was that of the Korean conflict. The Korean
Service Medal was authorized for service in Korea between
June 27, 1950 and July 27, 1954. However, as a result of
increased hostile actions by North Korea, the Joint Staff
subsequently recommended issuance of the AFEM for service in
South Korea from October 1, 1966 to June 30, 1974. Since that
time, the Joint Staff has periodically reevaluated the
eligibility periods for these medals based on an assessment of
the situation in Korea. In each instance (and as recently as
June 1993), they concluded that the eligibility periods should
not be changed. Rather, they recommended that the appropriate
means for recognizing the contributions of service members
stationed in the Republic of Korea is through existing service
and Department of Defense decorations.
The DMZ is one of the last remaining areas of possible
confrontation between U.S. and the remnants of Communism. We
need to recognize the sacrifices that our servicemen and women
are making day after day in Korea, but the AFEM should be saved
for those uniquely hostile warfare environments for which there
is no other form of recognition.

Memorandum to Mack McLarty, Chief of Staff
Subject: Recognition of Korean Theatre Service Personnel
Attached is a copy of a letter from Jack Carney,
Commander in Chief of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW)
concerning awarding the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal to
our American service personnel serving in Korea. I believe
this recommendation has merit and I further recommend that
DoD be asked to investigate the possibilities of doing it.
If need be the award could be restricted to certain
units/personnel who serve or have served on the DMZ.
This award would do several things,
- Demonstrate the President's recognition of the
difficult and dangerous job our service personnel
are doing
- Indicate his appreciation of these men and women
Announcement at the VFW Convention is a great idea, if
it is not too late. If I may be of assistance please let me
know.

RE:
KOREAN SERVICE MEDAL
Hershel:
Attached is a letter Jack sent to President Clinton July 26, 1993. As you know (and as the Presi-
dent saw a few weeks ago) the DMZ in Korea has been and remains a very dangerous place.
Over the years the VFW has tried to convince the Department of Defense that those who have
served in Korea deserve recognition for their valuable and often dangerous service by awarding
the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal to them. To do so would not cost the government any
money, would not change the status of the servicemen and servicewomen that served there - it
would only recognize the special nature of their service. Any help you could give us in this regard
would certainly be appreciated - by both the VFW and those who have served in Korea.
We are optimistic that Secretary of Defense Aspin is going to accept our invitation to be our
keynote speaker at the opening of our National Convention in Dallas on Monday August 23rd.
Any help you could give in that regard would also be appreciated. If Secretary Aspin does accept
it would be GREAT and a feather in the President's cap if the Secretary could announce such an
award. It would be a GREAT way for this President and this Secretary to show how they appre-
ciate those American servicemen and servicewomen who have over the years placed themselves in
harm's way. And it can be done at no cost to the government! Hershel, its a "no brainer" and a
winner for the President.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Washington, D. C. 20500
Dear Mr. President:
Our paths nearly crossed in Korea last week when visiting our servicemen and women
stationed in their battle positions just south of the DMZ. I watched on television your
visit to the forward most outpost of freedom at Panmunjon. Just a few days later I stood
on the same spot and looked north toward a hostile and still menacing foe. While I stood
there it occurred to me, and perhaps to you as well, that we, as a nation, have done so
little for those who have stood guard on this frontier of freedom.
Even though the Armistice is forty years old, over that time our servicemen and women
have endured the near constant danger of North Korean aggression. On many occasions
over those years. we suffered casualties as a result of the North's provocative actions.
And yet, in all those years we, as a nation, have failed to recognize the danger we placed
these brave men and women in and the achievement in keeping the peace aiong this most
dangerous border.
Therefore, I've decided to ask you to consider directing the Defense Department to
recognize the service and sacrifice of those who stood in harms way in Korea. It seems to
me it is appropriate to award the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal to all of our military
personnel who served for an appropriate period of time in Korea since the 1953 Armistice.
This, I believe, would he a fitting tribute and welcome recognition of those who served
and are serving freedom's cause so well. I feel certain your Commander in Korea, General
Gary Luck. with whom I spoke, would heartily support your action on this

Lastly, Mr. President, I 'm probably the last Korean War veteran who will serve as
Commander-in-Chief of the 2.2 million member Veterans of Foreign Wars. I would
sincerely appreciate your favorable consideration of this request before my official term

in closing, let me offer you my best wishes and sincere thanks for considering this request.
Respectfully,

KOREAN FACT SHEET
--- Since 1945, the Korean Peninsula has been a hot spot
bringing four of the world's strongest powers (U. S., USSR,
China and Japan) into conflict.
--- The Korean War from from 1950 to 1953, cost 54,248 American
lives and left 8,177 missing in action.
--- Despite the 40 year old Armistice, Korea remains one of the
world's most dangerous military flash points.
-- In 1968, a North Korean commando team raided the Korean
capital attempting to kill the Korean president.
-- Also in 1968, the North Koreans seized the USS Pueblo,
captured and tortured its crew.
-- In 1969, the North Koreans shot down a U. S. Air Force
patrol aircraft killing the entire crew.
-- in 1976, North Kureans attacked and killed two U. S.
officers with axes within sight of the Panmunjon
Armistice Commission Headquarters.
-- In 1978, North Korea shot down a U.S. helicopter
temporarily imprisoning two wounded U.S. pilots.
-- In 1984, a U. S. soldier was killed by North Koreans
attempting to recapture a defector.
---
Approximately 43,000 U. S. troops are now serving in Korea
and over 31,000 are located within range of North Korean
artillery.
---
The 20,000-man 2nd U. S. Infantry Division conducts daily
combat patrols and ambushes inside the Demilitarized Zone
(DM7) and mans two guard posts just outside the DMZ.
---
Other 2nd Division soldiers are based at over twenty
observation sites along the DMZ within range of North Korean
machine suns and artillery.
--- U. S. soldiers serving in the Joint Security Area at
Panmunjon are confronted daily by physical threats from
North Korean guards.
--- Almost two million soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines
have served in Korea since the 1953 Armistice. The U. S.
has suffered 89 killed and 132 wounded from hostile North
Korean actions since the Armistice was signed.

SUBJECT:
Recognition of Korean Theater Service with Armed
Forces Expeditionary Medal
At Tab II we have been asked to comment on, and provide a
proposed response to, a request from the Veterans of Foreign Wars
that the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal be awarded to all
servicemen and women who have served in the DMZ in Korea since
1953. We asked the Department of Defense for background and a
proposed response on this request. Their input is incorporated
into the letter for Mack McLarty to send to Hershel Gober at
Tab A.
The Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal has traditionally been
awarded for participation in operations involving actual or
imminent combat and covering clearly defined periods of time.
For example, it was awarded for Operation Desert Storm, but not
for all previous or subsequent operations in the Persian Gulf.
While the DMZ has been an area of persistent tension over the
years, conflict has not always been "imminent."
The letter at Tab A outlines the various forms of recognition
that have been given to military personnel serving in the DMZ
over the past forty years, but declines to extend the Armed
Forces Expeditionary Medal to cover this service.

Dear Mr. Chairman:
The Secretary of Defense has recommended the President nominate
Lieutenant General Edward P. Barry, Jr., for retirement in his
current grade. The Secretary made that recommendation after
considering potentially adverse information concerning General Barry.
In January, 1993, the Department of Defense Inspector General
(DoD IG) completed its inquiry into government actions concerning the
McDonnell Douglas Corporation's financial condition during 1990. The
review included contract financing and administration, procurement,
and program management for the C-17 program. The DoD IG found that
the program executive officer failed to acknowledge in a timely
manner, report accurately, or respond properly to the deteriorating
contract cost and schedule performance on the C-17 program. General
Barry was the program executive officer for the C-17 program. After
considering the DoD IG report, the Secretary of Defense directed that
General Barry not be assigned to work in the acquisition management
area.
While serious, this information should not preclude
confirmation. The Department appreciates your help in facilitating
the confirmation of this and other pending nominations.
Sincerely,
ROBERT M. ALEXANDER

Currently, title 10, U.S. code authorizes U.S. armed forces
deployed outside the U.S. to acquire and transfer logistic
support, supplies and services with NATO countries, NATO
subsidiary bodies and certain eligible or designated non-NATO
countries. This proposal would extend that authority to the
United Nations Organization or any regional international
organization of which the U.S. is a member in support of
humanitarian or peacekeeping operations such as the United
Nations's sanctioned operations in Somalia.
The authority to temporarily exchange logistics support of this
nature with designated countries and international organizations
would facilitate greater cooperation during exercises or military
operations and is in keeping with efforts to place greater
reliance on multinational organizations to deal with regional
contingencies.

Dear KF. President:
Enclosed is a draft of proposed legislation "To amend
subchapter I of chapter 138 of title 10, United states code, to
provide the Secretary of Defense the authority to acquire and
transfer logistic support, supplies, and services in exercises and
operations with the United Nations Organisation or any regional
international organisation of which the United States is a member,
to authorise the temporary provision of limited items of military
equipment, to remove the limitations on the amounts that may be
obligated or accrued during a contingency operation and for other
purposes."
The proposed legislation is part of the Department of
Defense Legislation Program for the 103rd Congress. The Office
of Management and Budget advises that, from the standpoint of
the Administration's program, there is no objection to the
presentation of this proposal for consideration of the Congress.
Purpose of the Legislation
Subchapter I of chapter 138 of title 10, United States
Code, currently authorizes United states armed forces deployed
outside of the United States to acquire and transfer logistic
support, supplies, and services with MATO countries, NATO
subsidiary bodies and certain eligible or designated non-NATO
countries. This proposal would extend that authority to the
United Nations Organization or any regional international
organization of which the United States is a member in support of
humanitarian or peacekeeping operations such as the United Nations'
sanctioned operations in Somalia.
This proposal would also permit deployed United States
armed forces to loan or borrow general purpose vehicles and
other items of military equipment which would not affect
readiness. The authority to temporarily exchange logistic
support of this nature with designated countries and
international organizations would facilitate greater oooperation
during an exercise OF military operation. Section 65 of the
Arms Export Control Act, which permits loans only for research
and development purposes, would not be affected by this
proposal.
Dollar limitations in the current legislative authority
remain in place until the determination of active hostilities.
Application of these limitations to extended military activities
short of a state of declared hostilities, however, could prevent
use of these authorities when they are most needed. Therefore,
it is proposed that the dollar limitations be waived during
operations conducted in support of humanitarian and refuges

assistance, disaster and famine relief, peacakeeping, peace
enforcement or contingency operations. United States armed
forces participating in multinational operations, like Operation
Desert Shield/Storm and Operation Restore Hope, could benefit
from this proposal by taking advantage of available coalition
resources during activities conducted leading up to or that fall
short of active hostilities.
The organisational restrictions and preconditions currently
found in sections 2341, 2342, 2344, 2347 and 2350 of title-10,
United states Code, are inconsistent with exercise scenarios and
likely United States' involvement in contingency operations in the
future. They inhibit military cooperation and the efficient use of
logistic resources that would otherwise be possible because of
rationalization, standardization and interoperability initiatives.
The enclosed proposal would correct such inconsistencias.
Cost and Budget Data
This proposal greatly benefits the United States armed
forces by increasing reciprocal logistic support with our allies
and with international organisations. The improved efficiency
in the use of logistic resources would result in dollar savings
and reduced lead-time for logistic services and supplies
required by United states armed forces deployed outside the
United States. Savings cannot be reliably estimated because
they will depend on the number and scope of transactions
concluded in the future and the degree of United states
involvement in future operations.

Dear Mr. Herdman:
Thank you for the copy of OTA's
Background Paper, "The Chemical Weapons
Convention: Effects on the U.S. Chemical
Industry. "
We recognize that the CWC imposes
unprecedented reporting and inspection
requirements on private industry. The
OTA paper makes clear that extensive
preparations by U.S. chemical
manufacturers, working in cooperation
with the U.S. government, will be needed
to minimize those burdens. Members of
Congress will be in a better position to
consider the challenges we face in
implementing the CWC because of OTA's
careful analysis of this issue.

Dear Mr. Lake:
I am pleased to enclose OTA's Background Paper on The Chemical Weapons
Convention: Effects on the U.S. Chemical Industry.
This Background Paper was requested by the Senate Select Committee on
Intelligence and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. It is
the first publication of an ongoing assessment of Proliferation of Weapons of
Mass Destruction requested by the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and
Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs. and endorsed by the Senate Committee
on Banking, Housing. and Urban Affairs. the House Committee on Foreign Affairs
and the House Committee on Armed Services.
If ratified by the United States and enough other countries for it to
enter into force, the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) will bring about a
fundamental change in the practice of arms control. Unlike previous arms
control agreements. which with a few rare exceptions have had little direct
impact on private industry. the CWC imposes reporting and inspection
requirements on thousands of U.S. chemical producers, processors, and
consumers. Within certain limits. it also subjects any U.S. location - -
government or private - - to the possibility of international "challenge"
inspection. To implement the CWC. Congress must pass legislation that (among
other things) specifies the rights and obligations of U.S. firms, protects any
proprietary information they may be required to submit, and reconciles the
Treaty's inspection requirements with U.S. Constitutional safeguards against
unreasonable searches and seizures. This OTA background paper analyzes the
likely effects of the CWC on the U.S. chemical industry. It concludes that
extensive preparation on the part of U.S. industry will be needed to minimize
the burdens of CWC compliance.
I hope you will find the Background Paper useful and informative.
Sincerely,
Herbar

Dear Mr. Leader:
I greatly appreciate your writing to share your
concern about discussions within the
Administration on certain aspects of the
proposed FY94 Defense Authorization request.
Many of the elements of the request - - such as
the establishment of a peacekeeping fund that
you mentioned in your letter - - reflect our
efforts to refocus U.S. military forces and
programs to the new international security
environment. Nowhere is the need for change
greater than in the way we look at and conduct
peacekeeping operations around the world.
The Global Cooperative Initiatives program you
cite in your letter represents an attempt to
meet this imperative. We are still reviewing
and refining a specific legislative proposal, in
consultation with Congress. I appreciate your
concerns about both the constraints in our
defense budget and Congress' prerogatives with
regard to war powers. I will bear those
concerns in mind as our work on this proposal
proceeds.
Thank you again for your letter. We will keep
you informed as we review the procedures that
would govern the use of the peacekeeping
contingency fund and the other Global
Cooperative Initiatives.

SUBJECT:
Letters to Representative Michel, Et Al,
RE: Global Cooperative Initiatives
Purpose
To respond to a letter from Representative Bob Michel and seven
other Republican congressmen in which they express their concern
about the funds for the Global Cooperative Initiatives program
requested in the FY94 Defense Authorization bill.
Background
The Global Cooperative Initiative includes programs for
humanitarian assistance, foreign disaster relief, promotion of
democracy and peacekeeping operations. Included in this category
in the current draft of the FY94 Defense Authorization bill is a
request for $200 million to establish a fund for peacekeeping
operations. These congressmen are concerned that such a fund
would undermine the constitutional prerogative of Congress to
approve, through the allocation of funds for specific operations,
the involvement of U.S. forces in contingencies abroad.
The letters at Tab A point out that the purpose of this fund is
to improve the initial responsiveness of U.S. forces to
peacekeeping contingencies and is not intended, nor is it
sufficient, to support large numbers of U.S. forces in military
operations for an extended period of time.

At Tab B Representative Bob Michel and seven other Republican
congressmen have written the President to express their concern
about the Global Cooperative Initiatives program in the FY94
Defense Authorization bill. In particular, they are worried that
the $200 million for peacekeeping operations undermines the
constitutional prerogative of Congress to approve, through the
funding of military resources, the involvement of U.S. forces in
military operations.
Since the authorization bill has not gone before Congress yet,
they ask that the President reconsider this initiative. The
letters at Tab A note that these funds are needed to improve U.S.
responsiveness to peacekeeping contingencies and are not intended
to commit large numbers of U.S. forces to military operations for
extensive periods of time.

Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Mr. President:
With the House scheduled to begin consideration of the FY94 Defense Authorization
bill this week, we wanted to express our strong concern and objections to a central element of
your defense program -- the so-called Global Cooperative Initiatives.
These programs, comprising almost half a billion dollars of the defense budget request,
represent a disturbing trend to fund an increasing amount of foreign assistance and
peacekeeping activities out of the defense budget function. Wholly apart from the merit of
these programs, humanitarian assistance, foreign disaster relief, promotion of democracy,
peacekeeping and related activities all belong in the foreign operations and State Department
appropriations and not buried within a defense budget that is already enduring drastic
reductions. While next year's allocation for these activities may appear modest in relation to
the overall defense account, the impact over a five-year period to an already declining budget
is likely to be significant and lead to a further erosion of military preparedness and capability.
Of particular concern with the Global Cooperative Initiatives program is the
component requesting $200 million to establish an earmarked contingency fund for
peacekeeping operations. As you know, the defense budget is a peacetime budget designed
to, as a general rule, only fund the equipping, training and maintenance of a capable military
force for the possibility of hostilities. By comparison, funding for actual military operations
are not included in the annual budgets and have historically required congressional approval
through reprogramming or supplemental budget requests. By seeking an earmarked
peacekeeping fund, the Administration is asking Congress to prospectively approve the
necessary funding resources to engage in unspecified and undetermined military operations.
We consider this to be an alarming precedent that incrementally eats away at the
constitutional prerogative of Congress to control the purse strings.
We understand that this package of initiatives has been the subject of intense debate
within the Administration. Since the Congress has yet to receive a formal legislative proposal
