Military assistance is now greatly reduced from the programs of earlier years. Major countries in Europe are not receiving new commitments for grant assistance; other countries are increasing their own expenditures on military forces as their economic capacities increase. Military assistance requirements have increased, however, in southeast Asia where serious problems require the providing of equipment and supplies to forces in actual combat with stubborn enemies. A significant part of the 1966 estimate is for these operational needs. Some countries will receive grant aid under this program. Others will buy their military equipment on cash or credit terms. The combined military forces of these countries are numerically much greater than the U.S. Armed Forces, and provide free-world defensive 1,130,000 capability, depth in reserves and flexibility. Many of these countries have joined in regional defense pacts, such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization or in bilateral defense arrangements with the United States. Most of the U.S. contributions to regional organizations are derived from military assistance program funds. Most of the military equipment and supplies which the United States provides under these programs are produced in the United States and are obtained by placing orders with the U.S. military services. Military assistance funds are reserved when the orders are placed and the military services are paid when the items are delivered. -10,000 10,000 1,055,000 1,170,000 1,133,798 1,202,500 -34,400 -32,500 71 Obligations/reservations affect ing expenditures.. 1,111,346 1,099,398 1,170,000 2,363,042 1,989,111 1,888,509 74 Obligations/reservations, end of year--1,989,111-1,888,509 -1,958,509 90 Expenditures.. 1,485,277 1,200,000 1,100,000 1 Reimbursements from non-Federal sources are derived from repayments of credit extended in connection with sale of defense articles and services to foreign countries (22 U.S.C. 2316). The kind of materiel supplied by the United States varies with objectives in each area and the requirements and capabilities of the individual countries. The present emphasis is on the maintenance of existing forces and materiel although modernization is included where possible. Materiel already on hand but excess to the needs of U.S. forces is supplied, whenever possible, at no charge to the military assistance appropriation except for the cost of rehabilitation and transportation. This appropriation will finance the following require ments: Grant aid operations.-Reservations for requirements ordered from U.S. military services 1. Aircraft. Provision of more advanced aircraft to selected countries on a limited basis and the replacement of obsolete planes. 2. Ships. New construction of patrol, minesweeping and other type vessels is included in the 1966 program, together with the reactivation, overhaul and modernization of some destroyer and destroyer escort type ships of the U.S. mothball fleet to meet naval requirements of our allies. The latter will require specific authority under ship loan legislation. 3. Tanks, other vehicles and weapons.-Included is combat and support equipment ranging from artillery, tanks, trucks and bulldozers to small arms and jeeps. The 1966 program includes continuing replacement of wornout or obsolete equipment in the forces of lessdeveloped countries. 4. Ammunition.-Most of the ammunition to be supplied will be used for training allied troops; some is for actual combat purposes. 5. Missiles. The 1966 program provides for maintenance of certain guided missile systems previously furnished. 6. Electronic equipment. The 1966 program continues the modernization of military communications systems in less-developed countries. 7. Military public works.-Materiel and equipment directly supplied by the United States for construction of facilities for foreign forces are procured through the military service supply systems. Other U.S. costs for this construction are met directly by the military assistance program and are cited in paragraph 14 below. 8. Other.-Covers a variety of special purpose equipment, and other supplies, and repair and rehabilitation of used equipment. Obligations for requirements other than through reserva -- 11. Training.-Training programs in free-world countries will assist foreign forces to make effective use of the new weapons and equipment supplied through the military assistance program, teach basic skills, and create favorable attitudes toward the United States and its policies. the 12. Administration.-The administrative expenses of program incurred by U.S. military assistance advisory groups, the unified commands overseas, and the military departments are included. 13. Contributions to international military headquarter and agencies.-Included are the assessments levied agains the United States in accordance with cost-sharing agree ments for the administrative support of the military headquarters and agencies, including the standing group of the NATO, SEATO, and the CENTO. 14. Contributions to construction of facilities in other countries.-Included are construction of military facilities under the jointly financed NATO infrastructure program. Sales operations.-Included are funds to provide credit assistance for the purchase of military equipment and supplies in the United States by countries other than those whose credit purchases are ordinarily financed by commercial sources or by the Export-Import Bank. Authority is also included, pursuant to section 509 of the Foreign Assistance Act, to guarantee exporters, financing institutions, or others doing business in the United States against risks of loss arising in connection with nonU.S. Government financed sales of defense articles and services to eligible foreign countries and international organizations. The basic purpose is to promote private financing of sales of U.S. defense articles and services and thus minimize the utilization of military assistance funds to finance credit sales. to finance credit sales.

General and special funds—Continued GRANTS AND OTHER PROGRAMS-Continued 1. Technical cooperation and development grants. These grants are used in less-developed countries to (1) provide the advisers, teachers, and equipment required for the improvement of human resources, especially in administrative, educational, technical, and professional skills; (2) assist in the control and eradication of major diseases and other menaces to health; (3) establish and improve institutions which further economic and social development; (4) assist in planning and surveys of development programs and projects; (5) establish or improve basic physical facilities such as communications and transport, in those relatively few countries where the economies are unable to carry the obligations entailed by development loans; (6) pay transportation charges on shipments of supplies by approved American nonprofit voluntary agencies; and (7) finance research concerning the problems of economic development. 2 and 3. American schools and hospitals abroad. To further the well-rounded training of qualified leadership in developing countries, the United States provides funds to American-sponsored institutions abroad. The $10.5 million reduction in 1966 largely reflects completion of financing in 1965 of the new medical center at the American University at Beirut. 4. Surveys of investment opportunities. This program encourages private enterprise to undertake surveys of investment opportunities in the less-developed areas of the world. Up to 50% of the total cost of such surveys is paid by AID in the event that the concern sponsoring the survey does not proceed with an investment. If such payment is necessary, the survey becomes AID property for use in attracting other investors. 5. International organizations and programs.-Voluntary contributions are made by the United States to programs administered by the United Nations and its specialized agencies, and to the Indus Basin Development Fund associated with the World Bank. These programs advance U.S. objectives by promoting the economic and social development of the less-developed countries and by maintaining the peace in threatened areas. Increased contributions will be required primarily for the Indus Basin Development Fund to meet the accelerated tempo of payments to contractors constructing dams and other works. The request includes funds for the establishment of two new international agencies (1) a cancer research center under the aegis of the World Health Organization, and (2) an institute at UN headquarters to train personnel for service in international organizations and in the governments of newly established nations and to conduct research on problems involving the United Nations. assistance requirements are in Korea and Vietna immediate periphery of the Sino-Soviet bloc. 7.
