WASHINGTON, (JTA) — The
House adopted the Halpern-
Rooney amendment authorizing
the President to withhold .U.S.
economic assistance from nations
discriminating against American
citizens because of religious bias.
The amendment was incorpo-
rated into the Mutual Security
Appropriations Bill to remedy
the deletions made in • the House
anti-bias clause in last month's
Mutual Security authorization bill
by a Senate-House conference.
The amendment was sponsored
by Representatives Seymour Hal-
pern, New York Republican, and
John J. Rooney, Democrat, also
of New York. The amendment
was supported by Chairman
Thomas E. Morgan, Pennsylvania
Democrat, of the House Foreign
Affairs committee, and Chairman
Otto Passman, Louisiana Demo-
crat, of the Foreign Operations
Appropriations sub-committee.
.
. Senate elements displeased
by what they termed the "wa-
tering down" of the anti-bias
clause in the authorization bill
indicated they would strongly
back the new amendment in
the appropriations bill when
it comes before the Senate.
The new amendment says:
"It • is the sense of Congress
that any attempt by foreign na-
tions to create distinctions be-
cause of their race or religion
among American citizens in the
granting of personal or commer-
cial access or any other rights
otherivise available to United
States citizens generally is re-
pugnant to our principles; and
in all negotiations between the
United States and any foreign
state arising as a result of funds
appropriated under this title
these principles shall be applied
as the President may determine."
Halpern said it was "of vital
importance" that the amendment,
when also approved by the Sen-
ate "be implemented by the Ex-
ecutive Department." He stressed
that - "nothing short of this
amendment to the Foreign As-
sistance Appropriations Act is
satisfactory to carry out the sense
of Congress as expressed here-
tofore in previous appropriations
bills and it fulfills the principle
espoused by the President link-
ing social justice and morality to
our foreign aid program."
