Mr. ZABLOCKI. Thank you very much, Mr. Ikle. In spite of the fact that you are so "reluctant" to advise Congress, I must ask an additional really final question.

Is there anything in the basic law that you feel should be changed?

ACT NEEDS TO BE FULLY IMPLEMENTED

Mr. IKLE. I am eager to advise Congress on arms control and disarmament. I am reluctant to advise Congress on congressional reorganization. The Arms Control and Disarmament Act is an excellent statute. It is very good.

The main thing is that it should be fully implemented. That is what we have to work on, both the Congress and the administration. Mr. ZABLOCKI. Thank you, Dr. Ikle.

I assure you, as far as the Congress is concerned, this is the very purpose of these hearings. We intend to do everything within our means to see that the act is implemented.

Your prepared statement as well as your answers to our questions have been most helpful and enlightening. We are again very, very grateful.

At the same time we commend you and your small but dedicated staff-you see, we are already reinforced by your blue ribbon answersfor your outstanding efforts on behalf of this Nation under often trying circumstances.

You and your agency have performed ably over the years.

As I said earlier, Dr. Ikle, our purpose here is to enhance the effectiveness of your work.

The subcommittee stands adjourned subject to the call of the Chair. Mr. IKLE. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

[Whereupon, at 3:30 p.m., the subcommittee was adjourned, subject to the call of the Chair.]

STATEMENTS SUBMITTED FOR THE RECORD

[The following comments and recommendations were received from various organizations, who, because of their interest in arms control and national security were invited to submit statements on the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency.]

STATEMENT OF THE AMERICAN LEGION

Dear Mr. Chairman:

Thank you for you letter of September 24, 1974 inviting the American Legion to submit a statement for the record in connection with your study of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency's activities.

While consistently advocating that the United States maintain a strong system of national defense as a deterrent to war, The American Legion has not opposed the concept of bilateral or multilateral treaties to reduce the present high levels of strategy and military might possessed by our nation and other world powers. We were disquieted, however, by the initial concept of ACDA for general and complete disarmament. This concept, lofty in aspiration, obviously has little relationship to the real world in which we live today. We understand that ACDA has since turned away from this grandiose concept and wisely is concentrating upon limited nuclear test ban and weapon treaties. The American Legion supports these concepts so long as there are ironclad guarantees of inspections to insure compliance by all parties to the treaties and agreements. For your information I am enclosing a resolution adopted at our National Convention last August concerning the related SALT agreements.

The American Legion does not have an existing policy relating to the structure of the ACDA or its relative weight in the councils of our government. We have noted, however, that ACDA does not have the basic responsibility for current SALT-II negotiations. The Legion believes that the wiser course is for the President, in consultation with the National Security Council, the Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense, share the burden of decisions on these crucial negotiations.

The ACDA has evidently never been given the stature or the qualified personnel at the highest levels to carry on such negotiations alone. We believe that until the decision is made to upgrade the agency, these negotiations should continue to rest in the hands of the State and Defense Departments.

The opportunity to comment on this important matter is appreciated.
Sincerely yours,

HERALD E. STRINGER,

Director, National Legislative Commission.

56TH NATIONAL CONVENTION OF THE AMERICAN LEGION HELD IN MIAMI BEACH, FLORida, August 20, 21, 22, 1974

RESOLUTION NO. 364

Committee: Foreign Relations

Subject: "Strategic Arms Limitations Talks"

WHEREAS, SALT-II negotiations in Geneva offer the best opportunity to conclude treaties on limitations on the numbers and varieties of offensive nuclear war and reduce the costly and dangerous burden of armaments now borne by the United States and the Soviet Union; and

WHEREAS, The SALT-I agreement of May 26, 1972, resulted in Soviet predominance in some essential phases of nuclear weaponry; and

WHEREAS, The recent agreements between President Nixon and Communist Leader Brezhnev, concluded in Moscow on July 3, 1974, apparently relate only to a limitation on underground nuclear tests and a reduction of the ceiling on anti-missile systems and no progress was made toward a comprehensive agreement limiting the use of offensive strategic nuclear weapons; and

WHEREAS, The nuclear arms race continues its dangerous and costly course in areas not covered by the SALT-I treaty; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED by The American Legion in National Convention assembled in Miami Beach, Florida, August 20, 21, 22, 1974. That we support the President's efforts to achieve with the Soviet Union an equitable SALT-II agreement that will halt the nuclear arms race, reduce tensions, and promote general cooperation in the limitations of the dangers of nuclear war only provided that the U.S. achieve a true "essential equivalence" and an iron-clad guarantee of on-site inspection to insure compliance; and be it further

RESOLVED that inequalities that now exists in the respective weapons systems of the United States and the Soviet Union be eliminated through mutually agreed upon reduction of existing weapons systems; and be it finally

RESOLVED that a mutually agreed upon equality of the deterrent forces of the two countries must necessarily involve an overall balance in the respective forces, taking into account the following elements, among others:

(a) quantitative factors of nuclear weapons systems such as numbers of launchers, amounts of megatonnage, and numbers of deliverable warheads;

(b) qualitative difference between nuclear weapons systems such as reliability, accuracy, reload capability, survivability, maneuverability of warheads and range; and

(c) geographical factors bearing on the effectiveness of nuclear weapon systems.
