Ethics Package
1) House Package: (GJM supports House provision on pay and honoraria, but understands that they are not acceptable to majority of Senators, thus need for alternative)
2) Senate alternative:
a) COLAS: 1988-2% 1989-4.1% 1990-3.6%  
Total- 9.7%, eff. Jan. 1, 1990 = +$9,954 = $98,454
Future COLAs locked in without necessity of vote 
b) Honoraria: Reduce dollar for dollar (this produces an estimated percentage reduction from 40% to 26% = $25,598) eff. Jan 1, 1990, and continue to phase down as future COLAs take effect, until eliminated. Agreement that there will be no floor amendment to immediately ban honoraria
c) Include provisions on gifts, travel expenses and financial disclosure (Levin-Rudman)
d) Permit House passed provisions to stand for House members, judicial and executive branch employees

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - SENATE October 26, 1989 S 14241
Mr. DOMENICI addressed the Chair.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from New Mexico. 1
DELAYING THE AUTHORIZATION WON'T HURT POLAND
Mr. President, I will take a few minutes to speak on a different subject and use the time on this bill. I want to take a few minutes to follow up on a point made this morning by the Republican leader.
This point I want to make is a very simple one. Delaying the authorization bill for Polish aid will not affect Poland. I repeat: no single person in Poland and no Polish plan that the Americans are involved with will be adversely effected by delaying the Polish aid authorization.
Of course, we heard much weeping and gnashing here on the floor this morning indicating that if we did not pass S. 1584 the entire Polish package would go down the drain and our commitment to help the Polish people would go up in flames.
The authorization bill for aid to Poland that we are talking about is not even necessary. It does not appropriate one dollar to Poland. It could turn out to be a good bill but it is not necessary.
Let me say it another way: delaying Senate passage of the bill for any purpose will not adversely affect a single individual in Poland. I am convinced that is true, and I would like to explain briefly why.
First and mostly, this is an authorization bill. It does not provide $1 to help Poland. The dollars are provided in appropriation bills.
Second, it is mostly a foreign aid authorization bill. Mr. President, fellow Senators, for 6 of the past 8 fiscal years we have appropriated funds for foreign aid without the benefit of a foreign aid authorization bill. And that is what we did this year.
THE SENATE HAS ALREADY FUNDED POLAND
Mr. President, I remind my fellow Senators that we have already passed the foreign aid appropriations bill. It is not pending. It is not going to come around next week. It is not going to fund any authorization bill we pass today, tomorrow, or next week.
My third point is we have already funded Poland in the agriculture and foreign assistance appropriations bills. They are already passed. Believe it or not, the Senate did not wait for this bill when it provided foreign aid for Poland. In fact, it waived the requirement for authorization.
In fact, the pending bill on Poland was on the Senate calendar when the Senate passed its foreign aid bill on September 26.
The authorization bill had been on the calendar since September 20. We went ahead with the foreign aid appropriations anyway.
If this bill was needed in order to provide appropriations for Poland, why did we not pass it again between the 20th and 26th when we finished the foreign aid appropriations bill?
The fourth point is the one I made at the very beginning: Failure to pass an authorization bill did not stop the Senate from providing foreign assistance to Poland on September 26, and failure to pass it last evening or today will not stop assistance for Poland now.
As the Republican leader indicated this morning, $100 million of the food aid is already on its way to Poland; $100 million that is included in the pending authorization bill, is already on its way to Poland. That was the President's initiative. We supported it. He already had the authority under the continuing resolution, and in the farm bill, to do that. Delaying this bill will not affect that food aid.
We ask the President to send another $25 million. We do not need a bill for that. He has the authority to do that, if it is needed.
{page 5}
The first year funding for the new enterprise funds is a significant part of the authorization debate here on the floor. I must remind the Senators that $45 million for the first year of that program has already been appropriated. That was taken care of when we passed the appropriations bill on September 24. Other funds were appropriated for medical assistance-also part of the authorization effort.
The only element of American effort to help Poland that has not yet already been appropriated is the $200 million commitment of the United States toward a $1 billion international stabilization fund for Poland.
The President has asked that we take that money for Poland out of defense. I do not support that. I do not think it should come out of defense.
The Defense appropriations subcommittees agree with the President. I understand that the House and Senate Appropriations Subcommittees have already agreed to transfer the money needed for that $200 million initiative. The 302 budget allocations have already been adjusted. They will do that.
The appropriations will do what they can afford for Poland without this bill. And conversely, if the appropriations do not make the necessary transfers, the authorization bill will not have any effect. They will either do it or we will not make our $200 million contribution to the so-called $1 billion stabilization fund.
Again, I repeat: an authorization bill is a good thing. It moves policy in the right direction if we do our job right. It clearly puts us on record. But it is not necessary today or tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
The principal ingredients of United States aid to Poland are either funded or will be funded in the agriculture, foreign assistance, or the defense appropriations bill. As to the latter, the stabilization assistance will be funded there or not at all, if the President has his way.
Let me close by saying this, loud and clear: "no one in Poland should be concerned about the United States Senate delaying the so-called Polish relief bill which is before the Senate."
The money is on its way. The political support is here, on a bipartisan basis.
