rp^ implement the United States proposal for the early-warning system in Sinai. Whereas an agreement signed on September 4, 1975, by the Government of the A r a b Republic of E g y p t and the Government of Israel may, when it enters into force, constitute a significant step toward peace in the Middle E a s t; Whereas the President of the United States on September 1, 1975, transmitted to the Government of the A r a b Republic of E g y p t 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 proposal for the early-warning system in Sinai may enhance the prospect of compliance in good faith with the terms of the E g y p t i a n - I s r a e l i 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 P r o p o s a l for the E a r l y W a r n i n g System in S i n a i ": 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 E g y p t 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 g r a n t i n g any authority to the President with respect to the introduction of United States A r m e d Forces into hostilities or into situations wherein involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances which authority he would not have h a d in the absence of this joint resolution. SEC. 2. Any concurrent resolution of the t y p e described i n 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 is privileged under section 7 of such law. SEC. 3. The United States civilian personnel participating in the early w a r n i n g 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 w a r n i n g 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
