LEGISLATIVE HISTORY 
P.L. 95-338 
The section also clarifies tho existing language in another important 
regard by specifying that no request for authorizations or appropria- 
tions shall be transmitted without a complete arms control impact 
statement if one is required. The existing law says that such requests 
(P«ge 4] 
“shall include’’ a complete statement. This reformulation does not 
change the requirement of law at all, but the committee believed that 
clarification was necessary since the statements required by law were 
submitted some seven weeks late this year. As a result, the Congress 
has been denied use of printed, sanitized versions of these statements 
during the critically important authorization and appropriation 
process. 
This section also allows the executive branch to submit statements 
covering aggregates of programs, when appropriate. This change is 
being made to allow grouping of closely related programs, as well 
as generally related programs of clearly minimal arms control impact, 
which might not be of interest in an arms control impact statement 
context but for the fact they exceeded specified dollar ceilings. This 
change is being mado to help relieve the executive branch of unneces- 
sary work, so that attention may be devoted to programs meriting 
serious attention in an arms control assessment context. 
This section also requires that seven days elapse between submis- 
sion of statements and Senate consideration of the legislation includ- 
ing requests subject to statements. This is done to make certain that 
the. executive branch takes care in providing all necessary statements 
in a timely fashion and to ensure that the Senate will always have 
at least a modest amount of time to weigh programs subject to 
statements before reaching its decisions. 
This section also requires that there bo an unclassified version of 
any classified arms control impact statement. This requirement is 
necessary to ensure early availability of these valuable statements 
to the Congress and interested members of the public.

This section will require the Agency in future fiscal years to ac- 
compan}' its requests for authorization with a detailed budget for 
each bureau and functional catogory within each bureau. Senator 
Glenn made it clear in offering this amendment that his purpose 
was not in any way to criticize the Agency. Instead, the purpose 
of the amendment is to provide tho committee with more detailed 
and comprehensive information on how the Agency allocates its funds, 
thus helping the committee to meet its oversight responsibilities. The 
Agency will retain the ubility to change the operations of its bureaus 
and to conduct such reorganizations as arc deemed necessary.
