WASHINGTON (^—President
Nixon signed a $2.75-billion for
eign-aid authorization act Mon
day but described it as a great
disappointment which hampers
his conduct of foreign affairs.
The measure, Nixon said in a
statement, severely cuts the
amounts he requested for de-

velopment and security assist
ance and “is below minimum ac
ceptable levels.”
Nor does it include, the Presi
dent said, major reform proposals
which he sent Congress last April.
“Viewed against the vital na
tional objectives which our foreign
assistance programs are designed
to pursue, this act is a great dis
appointment,” Nixon said.
Nixon’s action on the author
ization bill nearly completed the
revival, in modified form, of the
program which the Senate briefly
appeared to have killed last Oct.
29.
The only thing left is House-
Senate compromise of a $3-bil-
lion bill approved by the Senate
last Friday actually appropriat
ing money for foreign aid and for
related programs.
The chief executive complained
that “the bill reaches my desk
more than halfway through the
fiscal year, delayed by legislative
entanglements resulting from the
attachment in committee of an
unprecedented number of restric
tive and nongermane amendments,
some of which raise grave consti
tutional questions.”
“While many were modified or
removed in the long months of
debate,” Nixon continued, “the fi
nal product adds significant re
strictions and limitations to those
already in law which have ham
pered the efficient administration
of foreign aid and the effective
conduct of foreign affairs.”
He did not elaborate on the
restrictions, but he urged the
Congress this year “to restore
a comprehensive security and de
velopment assistance program
through legislation equal to the
challenges and the opportunities
for peace which lie before us.”
The bill Nixon signed takes a
step toward sharing the U.S. for
eign-aid load with other rich na
tions and calls for reducing the
31.5 per cent U.S. share of United
Nations operating expenses to 25
per cent.

Report proposes American,
Soviet spacecraft link-up
SPACE CENTER, Houston hP)
—A space agency report proposes
that American and Russian space
craft link up in space and orbit
together for two days while space
men of the two countries exchange
visits.
The report, prepared by North
American Rockwell for the space
agency at a cost of $300,000, calls
for an Apollo command and serv
ice module with an attached dock
ing module to link up with a So
viet craft during a 14-day earth
orbit mission.
The Russian space ship would
include a salyut, or orbiting lab
oratory, and an attached soyuz, a
Soviet command ship. This com
bination of spacecraft set the
world endurance record of 24
days, but the three cosmonauts
were killed during their return
to earth.
“A mid-1975 launch date can be
met readily with some options
accommodated,” the report states.
“A mid-1974 launch date requires
a straightforward minimum flex
ibility program.”
During the two days of the in
ternational docking exercise,
there would be three two-man
visits between the craft of the
two countries. The report states
that two Soviets could visit in the
Apollo command ship at a time,
while two Americans are in the
Russian craft.
After the docking exercise, the
Apollo spacecraft would separate,
descend to a lower circular orbit
and remain aloft for 11 more
days. During this time the astro
nauts would perform surveys of
resources in the United States
using sensitive cameras and in
struments.
