Inouye Chairman Subcommittee on Foreign Operations Committee on Appropriations United States Senate Dear Mr. Chairman: This is in response to your letter dated May 22, 1987, requesting the views of this Office on the applicability of certain House and Senate expedited procedures set forth in the International Security and Development Cooperation Act of 1985, (ISDCA), Pub. L. No. 99-83, S 722, 99 Stat. 190)_- 258 (1985), to the Administration's recent budget request for $105,000,000 in assistance to the Nicaraguan Democratic Resistance. As set forth below, the expedited procedures set forth in ISDCA appear to be available in the Senate for the con- sideration of the President's fiscal year 1988 budget request for assistance to the Nicaraguan Democratic Resis- tance. Further, the applicability of the Senate expedited procedures to the President's request does not appear to be dependent on the extension of the provisions of section 722 of ISDCA by section 215 of Title II of the Military Con- struction Appropriations Act, 1987. Because of the necessarily short period of time available to prepare this letter, our conclusions represent only the tentative opinion of this Office. Further, these provisions deal with the rules of the Senate and, accordingly, the final authority to interpret these provisions rests with the Senate itself. BACKGROUND Subsection 722(p) of the International Security and Develop- ment Cooperation Act of 1985, Pub. L. No. 99-83, 99 Stat. 190, 25;V1985) (ISDCA), provides for submission by the President of requests for budget and other authority to provide additional assistance for the Nicaraguan democratic resistance.
