LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
COMMITTEE ON INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS,
SUBCOMMITTEE ON INTERNATIONAL SECURITY
AND SCIENTIFIC AFFAIRS,
Washington, D.C., January 21, 1976.

Hon. THOMAS E. MORGAN,

Chairman, Committee on International Relations,

House of Representatives, Washington, D.C

DEAR MR. CHAIRMAN: The War Powers Resolution was enacted on November 7, 1973 as Public Law 93-148. At that time it was cited as "historic" legislation; with the passage of time its significance has risen, as demonstrated by recent events.

Because of wide interest in the resolution many relevant documents have gone out of print. In addition, important correspondence relating to compliance procedures has been written. Finally, and most important, four reports submitted by the President in compliance with section 4 of the resolution have been received by Congress.

All of these materials bear directly on the jurisdictional oversight responsibility for the War Powers Resolution by the Subcommittee on International Security and Scientific Affairs. In that connection, they should prove necessary and useful to the subcommittee in fulfillment of its oversight function. It is also expected that these materials will be helpful to the committee and the entire House in assuring the effective implementation of the resolution.

For these many desirable reasons I respectfully request that the materials be made available in the form of a committee print. As always, please be assured that your favorable consideration will be deeply appreciated.

With best wishes, I am,

Sincerely yours,

CLEMENT J. ZABLOCKI,

Chairman, Subcommittee on International Security and Scientific

Affairs.
