      United States Proposal for the Early Warning System in Sinai

    Pub. L. 94-110, Oct. 13, 1975, 89 Stat. 572, provided that:
``Whereas an agreement signed on September 4, 1975, by the Government 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 
    necessary; and
``Whereas the implementation of the United States proposals for the 
    early-warning system in Sinai may enhance the prospect of compliance 
    in good faith with the terms of the Egyptian-Israeli agreements and 
    thereby promote the cause of peace: Now, therefore, be it
    ``Resolved by 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 determines that the 
safety of such personnel is jeopardized or that continuation of their 
role is no longer necessary. Nothing contained in this resolution shall 
be construed as granting any authority to the President 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 
Congress 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 [section 1544(c) of Title 50, War and National 
Defense] is privileged under section 7 of such law [section 1546 of 
title 50, War and National Defense].
    ``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 every six months, on (1) the status, scope, and anticipated 
duration of their participation, and (2) the feasibility of ending or 
reducing as soon as possible their participation by substituting 
nationals of other countries or by making technological changes. The 
appropriate committees of the Congress shall promptly hold hearings on 
each report of the President and report to the Congress any findings, 
conclusions, and recommendations.
    ``Sec. 5. The authority contained in this joint resolution to 
implement the `United States Proposal for the Early Warning System in 
Sinai' does not signify approval of the Congress of any other agreement, 
understanding, or commitment made by the executive branch.''
