Senator SPARKMAN. Let the committee come to order, please. OPENING STATEMENT This morning and this afternoon the Foreign Relations Committee will conduct its annual hearings on the Department of State authorization bill. In the past, these hearings have proved valuable both to the committee and, I believe, to the Nation. They have served the purpose of the law that requires the Department of State to keep the Foreign Relations Committee fully and currently informed with respect to all of its activities. We expect the hearings this year to serve the same useful purpose. The three witnesses we will hear today are the Department of State's three Under Secretaries: Mr. Joseph Sisco, Under Secretary for Political Affairs; Mr. William Casey, Under Secretary for Economic Affairs; and Mr. William Donaldson, Under Secretary for Coordinating Security Assistance. Mr. Sisco, appearing this morning, has been asked to present an overview of U.S. foreign policy and the Department's budget and to answer questions in those broad areas. Mr. Casey, appearing this afternoon, has been asked to present an overview of international economic policy issues-including trade, monetary and resource problems—and also to discuss the process of interaction among U.S. Government agencies in the formulation and implementation of policy. Also this afternoon, Mr. Donaldson, who has been dealing almost entirely with energy matters, has been asked to present an overview of the international energy picture and, secondarily, to discuss the Department's role in security assistance and political-military decisionmaking in general. I would like to remind the witnesses of the provision of law that permits witnesses to express their personal opinions and views and to make personal recommendations when so requested by the committee. Before we begin with the first witness, I will place in the record a copy of the bill, S. 3117, which authorizes a total appropriation of $792 million for fiscal year 1975 along with certain explanatory material.
