educational, cultural, and exchange programs under the United States Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948, the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961, and Reorganization Plan Numbered 2 of 1977, and other purposes authorized by law.

REDESIGNATION OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATION AGENCY AS THE UNITED STATES INFORMATION AGENCY

Sec. 303. (a) The International Communication Agency, established by Reorganization Plan Numbered 2 of 1977, is hereby redesignated the United States Information Agency. The Director of the International Communication Agency or any other official of the International Communication Agency is hereby redesignated the Director or other official, as appropriate, of the United States Information Agency.

(b) Any reference in any statute, reorganization plan, Executive order, regulation, agreement, determination, or other official document or proceeding to the International Communication Agency or the Director or other official of the International Communication Agency shall be deemed to refer respectively to the United States Information Agency or the Director or other official of the United States Information Agency, as so redesignated by subsection (a).

INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGES AND NATIONAL SECURITY

Sec. 305. (a) The Congress finds that

(1) United States Government sponsorship of international exchange-of-persons activities has, during the postwar era, contributed significantly to United States national security interests;

(2) during the 1970's, while United States programs declined dramatically, Soviet exchange-of-persons activities increased steadily in pace with the Soviet military buildup;

(3) as a consequence of these two trends, Soviet exchange-ofpersons programs now far exceed those sponsored by the United States Government and thereby provide the Soviet Union an important means of extending its worldwide influ

ence;

(4) the importance of competing effectively in this area is reflected in the efforts of major United States allies, whose pro

nical Interchange Between East and West-$18,000,000; and acquisition of radio facilities$25,000,000. In addition to funds contained in Public Law 97-377 for the United States Information Agency during fiscal year 1983, the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 1983 (Public Law 98–63; 97 Stat. 307 provided the following:

"UNITED STATES INFORMATION AGENCY

"SALARIES AND EXPENSES

"For an additional amount for 'Salaries and expenses', $9,000,000, and, in addition there shall be available the sum of $4,000,000.

"ACQUISITION AND CONSTRUCTION OF RADIO FACILITIES

"For an additional amount for 'Acquisition and construction of radio facilities', $10,800,000." 322 U.S.C. 1461 note.

grams also represent far greater emphasis on exchange-of-persons activities than is demonstrated by the current United States effort; and

(5) with the availability of increased resources, the United States exchange-of-persons program could be greatly strengthened, both qualitatively and quantitatively.

(b) It is therefore the sense of the Congress that

(1) United States exchange-of-persons activities should be strengthened;

(2) the allocation of resources necessary to accomplish this improvement would constitute a highly cost-effective means of enhancing the United States national security; and

(3) because of the integral and continuing national security role of exchange- of-persons programs, such activities should be accorded a dependable source of long-term funding.

(c) 4 The amount obligated by the United States Information Agency each fiscal year for grants for exchange-of-persons activities shall be increased, through regular annual increases, so that by the fiscal year 1986 the amount obligated for such grants is at least double (in terms of constant dollars) the amount obligated for such grants for the fiscal year 1982.

(d) (1) In furtherance of the purposes of subsection (c), the Congress directs that of the amount appropriated for the United States Information Agency for the fiscal year 1983

(A) $84,256,000 shall be available only for grants for the Fulbright Academic Exchange Programs and the International Visitor Program; and

(B) $3,248,000 shall be available only for grants for the Humphrey Fellowship Program; and

(C) $8,906,000 shall be available only for grants to private, not-for-profit organizations engaging in exchange-of-persons programs;

subject to paragraphs (2) and (3) of this subsection.

(2) If the amount appropriated for the United States Information Agency for the fiscal year 1983 is less than the amount authorized for the fiscal year 1983, then the amounts specified in subparagraphs (A) through (C) of paragraph (1) shall each be deemed to be reduced to the amount which bears the same ratio to the specified amount as the amount appropriated bears to the amount authorized. For purposes of this paragraph

(A) the term "amount appropriated" means the amount appropriated under section 302 of this Act (less any rescissions), and does not include amounts appropriated under section 704 of the United States Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948 (relating to nondiscretionary personnel costs and currency fluctuations) or under any other provision of law; and (B) the term "amount authorized" means the amount authorized to be appropriated by section 302 of this Act, less an amount equal to any amount which was withheld from appropriation (or was rescinded) in order to reduce the amount available for a particular program or activity.

422 U.S.C. 2455 note.

(3) The Director of the United States Information Agency may authorize up to 5 percent of the amount earmarked under subparagraph (A), (B), or (C) of paragraph (1) to be used for a purpose other than the exchange-of-persons activities specified in that subparagraph. Not less than 15 days prior to any such authorization, the Director shall submit to the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives, and to the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate, a justification for authorizing the use of earmarked funds for a purpose other than the specified exchange-ofpersons activities.
