record with a report explaining the methods by which you accomplish your public information role. I hope this will not arouse criticism but I do think it necessary that we say in our report that regardless of what 49(d) says we don't think this is propaganda and therefore ought to be continued and expanded.

Dr. IKLE. I take it that you would like us to submit something for the record later.

Mr. ZABLOCKI. Yes.

Dr. IKLE. We will do so.

I would like to give a listing of what we are doing, what we have started to do with our publications program which I think can best be done in writing.

[The information follows:]

PUBLIC AFFAIRS

The Subcommittee staff report raises the question on page 20 as to "... whether an executive agency like ACDA can and should be looked to to undertake a public advocate's role for arms control and disarmament. . . ." It concludes on page 37 that "Undoubtedly more could usefully be done along present lines [in public affairs]...." but adds that "An ACDA role different in kind is more problematical. Arms Control is so central to foreign policy and security policy that the President and Secretary of State are likely to continue to take the lead and set the tone." The degree of advocacy in ACDA public affairs is thus seen as determined by fundamental relationships within the government. Within these limitations, however-and within the constraints of section 49 (d) of the Arms Control and Disarmament Act-much useful work is still possible. To begin with, there is a continuous effort to provide the press and the public with accurate information about arms control activities. The Agency regularly provides guidance for use by the White House and the Department of State for press conferences, and for use by the Department spokesman in his daily noon briefing. It similarly provides direct briefings for both domestic and foreign correspondents. The end result of these efforts may or may not bear an ACDA label as such, but they seem indispensable in helping the media to deal in an informed way with arms control questions.

More visible, of course, are public policy statements by the Director of ACDA, which may be directly reflected in newspapers and magazines, or in radio and television broadcasts.

In referring to "paucity" of public affairs output, the drafters of the report presumably had in mind Agency publications. In addition to the publications listed below which are referenced in Annex B of the report, two newsletter-type publications on current negotiations were also recently released. Several auditional publications-some of considerable substance-are under preparation.

The Agency has a statutory responsibilty for providing public affairs guidance to USIA. This is done on a continuing basis, parallel to the guidance given to the Department of State spokesman for his daily briefings. It also takes the form of articles prepared for the USIA's overnight wireless file, and materials prepared for the Voice of America. Recently, ACDA convened a special panel to draw up a series of recommendations for USIA policy on arms control. As soon as the report on this is completed, it will be made available to USIA and to other interested users.

As the Subcommittee staff report indicated, ACDA has much to gain from interaction with the academic community. Scholars can thus inform themselves about arms control; at the same time, such informed scholars can be an important source of innovative approaches in this field. Up to this time it has been the general policy of the Agency to accept invitations for speaking engagements at academic institutions, but only when the latter could pay the expenses. We are now developing a program which will permit regular and frequent contacts with important centers of learning throughout the country. This program will involve travel by Agency officers who are substantively expert in one aspect or another of arms control to those various localities. By having the Agency fund this program itself, we believe that it will be possible to carry this out

on a regular and systematic basis. The estimated outlay for travel is on the order of $15,000 to $20,000 per year, an amount that will have to be budgeted in the future, together with the necessary personnel resources. A bonus effect of having Agency officers travel widely to appear in academic forums will be their availability for meetings with media representatives in all parts of the country.

Finally, we have restructured the Agency's public affairs operation, constituting a separate Office of Public Affairs, and adding to it the ACDA Historical Unit. The ACDA Historian and his staff have maintained very high standards of work since the Agency's inception, but we believe that this organizational change will make it possible to broaden the use of their product, not only in the field of scholarship but in public affairs generally.

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.]
