the Secretary of the Interior, as Chairman, the Secretary of Agriculture, and the Secretary of the Army to advise me on the establishment of user fees on Federal land and water areas which would be authorized by the bill and on the division of the revenues between the land conservation fund and general Treasury receipts.

The proposed land conservation fund is for the acquisition of lands by the Federal Government. But, as the Outdoor Recreation Resources Review Commission emphasizes, State and local governments must also increase their investment in recreational lands and waters if national needs are to be met. Indeed, the greatest portion of the burden must ultimately be borne by State and local governments.

Local governments are now assisted in the acquisition of urban open space under provisions of the Housing Act of 1961, and new legislation is being proposed in keeping with the recommendation in my message on conservation to assist the States through matching grants for comprehensive statewide outdoor recreation planning.

It has been traditional to regard the out of doors as "free." In fact, however, outdoor recreation programs have been supported through a combination of general revenues and special levies such as national park admission fees, fishing and hunting stamps and licenses, and Federal excise taxes on fishing tackle and sporting arms and ammunition. This bill broadens the application of established principles as a means of assuring continued outdoor recreation opportunity.

In conserving our national outdoor areas, opportunities delayed generally mean opportunities lost. The need is both real and immediate. I urge prompt and favorable action on these proposals. A similar letter is being sent to the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Sincerely, JOHN F. KENNEDY. Hon. LYNDON B. JOHNSON, President of the Senate, Washington, D.C.

OUTDOOR RECREATION PLANNING The VICE PRESIDENT laid before the Senate a communication from the Secretary of the Interior, transmitting a draft of proposed legislation to provide for the coordination and development of effective Federal and State programs relating to outdoor recreation, and to provide financial assistance to States for outdoor recreation planning; which, with the accompanying paper, was referred to the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs.

On motion by Mr. HUMPHREY, The motion to reconsider was laid on the table.

The question recurring on agreeing to the amendment proposed by Mr. RUSSELL as a substitute for the amendment proposed by Mr. MANSFIELD (for himself and Mr. DIRKSEN), striking out all after the enacting clause, as amended, and inserting in lieu thereof other words,

Pending debate,

The question being taken on agreeing to the amendment proposed by Mr. RUSSELL, Viz, in lieu of the language proposed to be inserted by the amendment proposed by Mr. MANSFIELD (for himself and Mr. DIRKSEN), as follows, as a substitute for the bill, as amended:

"That there is hereby authorized to be appropriated to the President, without fiscal-year limitation, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, $100,000,000 for a loan to the United Nations. It is the intent of the Congress that the proceeds of the present loan shall not be used to relieve states members of the United Nations of their obligation to pay arrearages on payments of any United Nations assess

ments.

"SEC. 2. The amount of money to be lent to the United Nations pursuant to the authorization contained in the first section of this Act shall not exceed by more than $25,000,000 the aggregate amount of loans made or agreed to be made by other nations.

"SEC. 3. There shall be deducted from the annual payment of the assessed share of the United States of the budget of the United Nations an amount equal to the corresponding annual installment of principal and interest due to the United States on account of the loan made pursuant to section 1.

"SEC. 4. Nothing herein shall be regarded as authorizing the United States to participate in any future United Nations borrowing. It is the sense of the Congress that the United States shall use its best efforts to promote a pattern of United Nations financing (including a vigorous program for collection of delinquencies on annual assessments of nations and maintenance of such annual assessments on a current basis) that makes unnecessary any future largescale borrowing." insert the following:

That the United Nations is hereby relieved of all liability for the repayment of obligations to the United States incurred prior to the date of enactment of this Act in connection with activities of the United Nations Emergency Force in the Middle East and the United Nations military operation in the Congo. The amount involved shall be credited on any assessments or amounts chargeable to the United States as a member of the United Nations to defray the costs of said operations.

Sec. 2. From and after the enactment of this Act, no official of the United States or any other person acting in be

half of the United States shall be authorized to permit the use of any military equipment or materiel belonging to the United States or to order the participation of any person serving in the Armed Forces of the United States in any military action instituted by the United Nations unless and until such use or participation has been authorized by a joint resolution of the Congress of the United States if the Congress shall be in session. When the Congress is not in session, the President of the United States, by Executive order which shall be printed in the Federal Register, may loan military equipment or materiel not exceeding $15,000,000 in value to the United Nations if the President finds and so declares that such loan is necessary and in the interests of the security of the United States.
