Whereas an agreement signed on September 4, 1975, by the Govern-
ment of the Arab Republic of Egypt and the Government of Israel 
may, when it enters into force, constitute a significant step toward 
peace in the Middle East; 
Whereas the President of the United States on September 1, 1975, 
transmitted to the Government of the Arab Republic of Egypt 
and to the Government of Israel identical proposals for United 
States participation in an early-warning system, the text of which 
has been submitted to the Congress, providing for the assignment 
of no more than two hundred United States civilian personnel to 
carry out certain specified noncombat functions and setting forth 
the terms and conditions thereof; 
Whereas that proposal would permit the Government of the United 
States to withdraw such personnel if it concludes that their safety 
is jeopardized or that continuation of their role is no longer nec-
essary; and 
Whereas the implementation of the United States proposal for the 
early-warning system in Sinai may enhance the prospect of compli-
ance in good faith Avith the terms of the Egyptian-Israeli agree-
ments and thereby promote the cause of peace: Now, therefore, 
be it 
Resolved hy the Senate and House of Representatives 
of the 
United 
States 
of America 
in Congress 
assembled, 
That the President is 
authorized to implement the "United States Proposal for the Early 
Warning System in Sinai": Provided, 
however, That United States 
civilian personnel assigned to Sinai under such proposal shall be 
removed immediately in the event of an outbreak of hostilities between 
Egypt and Israel or if the Congress by concurrent resolution deter-
mines that the safety of such personnel is jeopardized or that continu-
ation of their role is no longer necessary. Nothing contained in this 
resolution shall be construed as granting any authority to the Presi-
dent with respect to the introduction of United States Armed Forces 
into hostilities or into situations wherein involvement in hostilities is 
clearly indicated by the circumstances which authority he would not 
have had in the absence of this joint resolution. 
SEC. 2. Any concurrent resolution of the type described in the first 
section of this resolution which is introduced in either House of Con-
gress shall be privileged in the same manner and to the same extent as 
a concurrent resolution of the type described in section 5(c) of Public 
Law 93-148 is privileged under section 7 of such law. 
SEC. 3. The United States civilian personnel participating in the 
early warning system in Sinai shall include only individuals who have 
volunteered to participate in such system. 
SEC. 4. Whenever United States civilian personnel, pursuant to this 
resolution, participate in an early warning system, the President shall, 
so long as the participation of such personnel continues, submit written 
reports to the Congress periodically, but no less frequently than once
