appropriated under the authorization for "International organiza-
tions and programs") shall be used to finance the construction of any 
new flood control, reclamation, or other water or related land resource 
project or program which has not met the standards and criteria used 
in determining the feasibility of flood control, reclamation, and other 
water and related land resource programs and projects proposed for 
construction w ithin the United States of America as per memorandum 
of the President dated May 15,1962. 
SEC. 102. Obligations made from funds herein appropriated for 
engineering and architectural fees and services to any individual or 
group of engineering and architectural firms on any one project in

ment loans", not more than 20 per centum of any appropriation item

SEC. 105. The Congress hereby reiterates its opposition to the seat-
ing in the United Nations of the Communist China regime as the rep-
resentative of China, and it is hereby declared to be the continuing 
sense of Congress that the Communist regime in China has not demon-
strated its willingness to fulfill the obligations contained in the Char-
ter of the United Nations and should not be recognized to represent 
China in the United Nations. In the event of the seating of representa-
tives of the Chinese Communist regime in the Security Council or 
General Assembly of the United Nations, the President is requested to 
inform the Congress, insofar as is compatible with the requirements

that created by membership in the United Nations, together with any 
recommendations which he may have with respect to the matter.

United States and any foreign state arising as a result of funds ap-
propriated under this title these principles shall be applied as the 
President may determine.
