SEC. 102. Appropriations under this title for "Salaries and 
expenses", "International conferences and contingencies", and "Mis-
sions to international organizations" are available for reimbursement 
of the General Services Administration for security guard services 
for protection of confidential files. 
SEC 103. None of the funds appropriated in this title shall be used 
(1) to pay the United States contribution to any international 
organization which engages in the direct or indirect promotion of 
the principle or doctrine of one world government or one world 
citizenship; (2) for the promotion, direct or indirect, of the principle

SEC. 104. It is the sense of the Congress that any new Panama 
Canal treaty or agreement must protect the vital interests of the 
United States in the Canal Zone and in the operation, maintenance, 
property and defense of the Panama Canal. 
SEC. 105. The Congress, taking cognizance that—-
(1) the Secretary of State on June 11 submitted a multi-point 
proposal to the Sixth General Assembly of the Organization of 
American States designed to restructure the membership qualifi-
cations, the policymaking organs, and the financial assessments 
for the members of that body, and 
(2) the United States Government has been regularly con-
tributing approximately two-thirds of the annual OAS budget, 
and 
(3) the bureaucratic structure of the OAS has, according to 
the Secretary of State, assumed a "ponderous" and "cumbersome" 
nature, pre-empting some of the policymaking responsibilities of 
the General Assembly, and 
(4) the several member-states of the OAS have sought a more 
active role for the organization in formulating common policy 
positions on such hemispheric issues as recognition of the Cuban 
government, renegotiation of the Panama Canal Treaty, and 
protection of human rights in Chile, and 
(5) the responsive structure and financial strength of the OAS 
will determine the relevance of that organization for meeting 
the challenges of the future, 
therefore expresses the support for its proposal presented to the 
Organization of American States General Assembly on June 11 by 
Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger and urges the General 
Assembly to favorably consider and adopt the United States proposal 
at an early date.
