Amendment· HAMDTHAMDT 572 (100th)failed

An amendment in the nature of a substitute to accomplish a variety of things: The Broomfield substitute authorizes $117 million less than the Committee bill; it reduces funding for voluntary contributions to international organizations by $130 million in FY 1988 and by $127 million in FY 1989; it reduces funding and eliminates earmarking for certain other development programs. The substitute also provides for an increase in funding for narcotics control programs and for a 3.5 percent increase in FY 1989 for most other programs. The substitute contains the same funding levels for aid to Israel and Egypt and to the base rights countries as does the Committee bill. The substitute strikes numerous policy provisions in the bill: It would eliminate restrictions on police aid to Central America and the provision barring the Administration from making any agreement, formal or informal, in which a recipient of U.S. aid provides $10 million in FY 1988 and FY 1989 for civilian opposition groups operating within Nicaragua. The substitute also lays out criteria for democratization in Nicaragua including full political, press, and human rights. The substitute eliminates the economic support fund (ESF) reforms in the bill intended to direct more ESF monies to long-term development rather than short-term balance-of-payments assistance. In addition, the substitute eliminates many conditions placed on assistance to African nations and the earmarking of $50 million in development assistance for the front-line states bordering South Africa.

Amendment· HAMDTHAMDT 458 (101st)failed

An amendment to replace the provisions of the bill regarding El Salvador. The amendment would allow the President to determine whether or not specified actions by the Salvadoran government have occurred which would warrant restricting U.S. military aid. If such a determination is made, the President would be required to withhold up to 25% of the 1991 military aid. The amendment would allow the termination of all U.S. military assistance if the President determines that other actions by the Salvadoran government or military have occurred.

Amendment· HAMDTHAMDT 290 (98th)failed

An amendment to the Young (FL) amendment, striking the Young (FL) text and inserting a text that substitutes for the bill text a ban on U.S. assisted military activity in Nicaragua only if the President fails to supply Congress a plan for interdicting arms flow from or through Nicaragua to forces hostile to El Salvador. The plan must consider benefits of pursuing 1) U.S. - Nicaragua negotiations, 2) involving the OAS or UN in diplomatic or peacekeeping roles, 3) involving other countries in interdicting arms flow. The plan is replaced by the ban if Nicaragua formally agrees to cease activities against Central American or Caribbean countries and to implement reconstruction agreements. OAS or the President is to verify Nicaragua's compliance with the agreement. Other provisions of the bill are not included.

Amendment· HAMDTHAMDT 738 (98th)open

MR. BROOMFIELD offered an amendment to increase the bill's authorization for military and economic aid to Central America to the level requested by the President. It makes military aid to El Salvador conditioned upon the President determining that the Salvadoran government has made progress in meeting six on the seven objectives specified in the bill, and removes almost all the bill's restrictions on economic aid to that country. It eliminates the bill's 55-man limit on U.S. advisors in El Salvador and the 300-man limit on U.S. military personnel in Honduras.
