I wish to join Senator LUGAR in supporting the passage of the conference report on H.R. 2068. the Foreign Relations Authorization Act. fiscal years 1986 and 1987. The Senate conferees did a commendable job in defending the Senate position on this bill. There were over 103 separate issues resolved by the conferees. ranging from a statement of extreme concern for the plight of the refugees located in Thailand to a report requirement on compliance with arms control agreements by the world community. and adherence by the United States to such agreements. The primary purpose of this bill is to authorize appropriations for the Department of State. the U.S. Information Agency. the Board for International Broadcasting. the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. the Asia Foundation. and the National Endowment for Democracy.
