ACTION HEORANDUM FOR THE ASSTSTANT ADMI-NISTRATOR NXAR EAST BUREAU
FROM NECDSelig A alnblatt
SUBJECT Syria - Technical Services and Feasibility Studies Grant III for $20 million
Problem Your approval is required to finance a $20 million grant to the Government of Syria (SARG) for technical services and feasibility studies
Discussion In FY 1975 a grant for $40 million was made by AID to the Syrian Government for a project entitled Technical Services and Feasibility Studies The purpose of the grant was to provide a variety of short-term expert advisory services and to conduct feasibility and technical studies to identify design and implementhigh-priority projects The FY 1975 grant is fully committed and includes a commitment to partially fund a portion (approximately$400000) of a Transportation Sector Study The remainingportion of the costs of the Transportation Sector Study ($21 million)is to be financed from funds made available under the $35 million Technical Services and Feasibility Studies II Grant authorized in FY 1977
The FY 1977 grant for $35 million was authorized on the basis ofthe progress of the FY 1975 grant That FY 1975 grant providedSyria with the funding to procure technical expertise required in identifying and implementing additional priority projects for theSyrian development plan The FY 1977 grant was provided essentiallyto fund two sector studies - the Agricultural Sector Study and the Transportation Sector Study
Syria is continuing to develop requests for feasibility studies and other types of technical assistance In addition there has been a substantial increase in the cost of financing the Lattakia Feasibility Study under the FY 75 grant and in the anticipated cost of the Transportation Sector Study A $2 million grant is therefore now needed to continue activities similar to those financed under the two previous grants
- 2 -
The $20 million grant which Syria has requested for FY 1978funding has been allocated for the following activities $250000for additional funding required for the Agricultural Sector Assessshyment $750000 for a Health Sector Assessment $250000 for theNasriva Feasibility Study $60000 for the Upper Orontes Feasishybilty Study $50000 for project design activities $100000 forcontingency and unanticipated requests
An Advice of Program Change was required because the CongressionalPresentation for 1978 requested $350000 An Advice was transmittedby AID to Congress on January 19 1978 and the 15-day waitingperiod has expired No oblections were received from Congress byAID
These grants have furthered US political objectives in Syria byenabling the US Government to respond to Syrian requests forassistance in project development in a flexible and positive wayunder the Supporting Assistance Program Further they have provenessential in providing project selection and design for both SARG and AID
As regards human rights under the Section 502 B under the FAA 1961as amended the State Desk and the NEA Bureau Human Rights Officeradvise that there are no recent developments which adverselyaffect Syrias respect for human rights
Recommendation That you approve the $20 -illion FY 1978 grant bysigning Part II of the attached Project Authorization and Requestfor Allotment of Funds

ACTION HEORANDUM FOR THE ASSTSTANT ADMI-NISTRATOR NXAR EAST BUREAU
FROM NECDSelig A alnblatt
SUBJECT Syria - Technical Services and Feasibility Studies Grant III for $20 million
Problem Your approval is required to finance a $20 million grant to the Government of Syria (SARG) for technical services and feasibility studies
Discussion In FY 1975 a grant for $40 million was made by AID to the Syrian Government for a project entitled Technical Services and Feasibility Studies The purpose of the grant was to provide a variety of short-term expert advisory services and to conduct feasibility and technical studies to identify design and implementhigh-priority projects The FY 1975 grant is fully committed and includes a commitment to partially fund a portion (approximately$400000) of a Transportation Sector Study The remainingportion of the costs of the Transportation Sector Study ($21 million)is to be financed from funds made available under the $35 million Technical Services and Feasibility Studies II Grant authorized in FY 1977
The FY 1977 grant for $35 million was authorized on the basis ofthe progress of the FY 1975 grant That FY 1975 grant providedSyria with the funding to procure technical expertise required in identifying and implementing additional priority projects for theSyrian development plan The FY 1977 grant was provided essentiallyto fund two sector studies - the Agricultural Sector Study and the Transportation Sector Study
Syria is continuing to develop requests for feasibility studies and other types of technical assistance In addition there has been a substantial increase in the cost of financing the Lattakia Feasibility Study under the FY 75 grant and in the anticipated cost of the Transportation Sector Study A $2 million grant is therefore now needed to continue activities similar to those financed under the two previous grants
- 2 -
The $20 million grant which Syria has requested for FY 1978funding has been allocated for the following activities $250000for additional funding required for the Agricultural Sector Assessshyment $750000 for a Health Sector Assessment $250000 for theNasriva Feasibility Study $60000 for the Upper Orontes Feasishybilty Study $50000 for project design activities $100000 forcontingency and unanticipated requests
An Advice of Program Change was required because the CongressionalPresentation for 1978 requested $350000 An Advice was transmittedby AID to Congress on January 19 1978 and the 15-day waitingperiod has expired No oblections were received from Congress byAID
These grants have furthered US political objectives in Syria byenabling the US Government to respond to Syrian requests forassistance in project development in a flexible and positive wayunder the Supporting Assistance Program Further they have provenessential in providing project selection and design for both SARG and AID
As regards human rights under the Section 502 B under the FAA 1961as amended the State Desk and the NEA Bureau Human Rights Officeradvise that there are no recent developments which adverselyaffect Syrias respect for human rights
Recommendation That you approve the $20 -illion FY 1978 grant bysigning Part II of the attached Project Authorization and Requestfor Allotment of Funds

ACTION HEORANDUM FOR THE ASSTSTANT ADMI-NISTRATOR NXAR EAST BUREAU
FROM NECDSelig A alnblatt
SUBJECT Syria - Technical Services and Feasibility Studies Grant III for $20 million
Problem Your approval is required to finance a $20 million grant to the Government of Syria (SARG) for technical services and feasibility studies
Discussion In FY 1975 a grant for $40 million was made by AID to the Syrian Government for a project entitled Technical Services and Feasibility Studies The purpose of the grant was to provide a variety of short-term expert advisory services and to conduct feasibility and technical studies to identify design and implementhigh-priority projects The FY 1975 grant is fully committed and includes a commitment to partially fund a portion (approximately$400000) of a Transportation Sector Study The remainingportion of the costs of the Transportation Sector Study ($21 million)is to be financed from funds made available under the $35 million Technical Services and Feasibility Studies II Grant authorized in FY 1977
The FY 1977 grant for $35 million was authorized on the basis ofthe progress of the FY 1975 grant That FY 1975 grant providedSyria with the funding to procure technical expertise required in identifying and implementing additional priority projects for theSyrian development plan The FY 1977 grant was provided essentiallyto fund two sector studies - the Agricultural Sector Study and the Transportation Sector Study
Syria is continuing to develop requests for feasibility studies and other types of technical assistance In addition there has been a substantial increase in the cost of financing the Lattakia Feasibility Study under the FY 75 grant and in the anticipated cost of the Transportation Sector Study A $2 million grant is therefore now needed to continue activities similar to those financed under the two previous grants
- 2 -
The $20 million grant which Syria has requested for FY 1978funding has been allocated for the following activities $250000for additional funding required for the Agricultural Sector Assessshyment $750000 for a Health Sector Assessment $250000 for theNasriva Feasibility Study $60000 for the Upper Orontes Feasishybilty Study $50000 for project design activities $100000 forcontingency and unanticipated requests
An Advice of Program Change was required because the CongressionalPresentation for 1978 requested $350000 An Advice was transmittedby AID to Congress on January 19 1978 and the 15-day waitingperiod has expired No oblections were received from Congress byAID
These grants have furthered US political objectives in Syria byenabling the US Government to respond to Syrian requests forassistance in project development in a flexible and positive wayunder the Supporting Assistance Program Further they have provenessential in providing project selection and design for both SARG and AID
As regards human rights under the Section 502 B under the FAA 1961as amended the State Desk and the NEA Bureau Human Rights Officeradvise that there are no recent developments which adverselyaffect Syrias respect for human rights
Recommendation That you approve the $20 -illion FY 1978 grant bysigning Part II of the attached Project Authorization and Requestfor Allotment of Funds

ACTION HEORANDUM FOR THE ASSTSTANT ADMI-NISTRATOR NXAR EAST BUREAU
FROM NECDSelig A alnblatt
SUBJECT Syria - Technical Services and Feasibility Studies Grant III for $20 million
Problem Your approval is required to finance a $20 million grant to the Government of Syria (SARG) for technical services and feasibility studies
Discussion In FY 1975 a grant for $40 million was made by AID to the Syrian Government for a project entitled Technical Services and Feasibility Studies The purpose of the grant was to provide a variety of short-term expert advisory services and to conduct feasibility and technical studies to identify design and implementhigh-priority projects The FY 1975 grant is fully committed and includes a commitment to partially fund a portion (approximately$400000) of a Transportation Sector Study The remainingportion of the costs of the Transportation Sector Study ($21 million)is to be financed from funds made available under the $35 million Technical Services and Feasibility Studies II Grant authorized in FY 1977
The FY 1977 grant for $35 million was authorized on the basis ofthe progress of the FY 1975 grant That FY 1975 grant providedSyria with the funding to procure technical expertise required in identifying and implementing additional priority projects for theSyrian development plan The FY 1977 grant was provided essentiallyto fund two sector studies - the Agricultural Sector Study and the Transportation Sector Study
Syria is continuing to develop requests for feasibility studies and other types of technical assistance In addition there has been a substantial increase in the cost of financing the Lattakia Feasibility Study under the FY 75 grant and in the anticipated cost of the Transportation Sector Study A $2 million grant is therefore now needed to continue activities similar to those financed under the two previous grants
- 2 -
The $20 million grant which Syria has requested for FY 1978funding has been allocated for the following activities $250000for additional funding required for the Agricultural Sector Assessshyment $750000 for a Health Sector Assessment $250000 for theNasriva Feasibility Study $60000 for the Upper Orontes Feasishybilty Study $50000 for project design activities $100000 forcontingency and unanticipated requests
An Advice of Program Change was required because the CongressionalPresentation for 1978 requested $350000 An Advice was transmittedby AID to Congress on January 19 1978 and the 15-day waitingperiod has expired No oblections were received from Congress byAID
These grants have furthered US political objectives in Syria byenabling the US Government to respond to Syrian requests forassistance in project development in a flexible and positive wayunder the Supporting Assistance Program Further they have provenessential in providing project selection and design for both SARG and AID
As regards human rights under the Section 502 B under the FAA 1961as amended the State Desk and the NEA Bureau Human Rights Officeradvise that there are no recent developments which adverselyaffect Syrias respect for human rights
Recommendation That you approve the $20 -illion FY 1978 grant bysigning Part II of the attached Project Authorization and Requestfor Allotment of Funds

ACTION HEORANDUM FOR THE ASSTSTANT ADMI-NISTRATOR NXAR EAST BUREAU
FROM NECDSelig A alnblatt
SUBJECT Syria - Technical Services and Feasibility Studies Grant III for $20 million
Problem Your approval is required to finance a $20 million grant to the Government of Syria (SARG) for technical services and feasibility studies
Discussion In FY 1975 a grant for $40 million was made by AID to the Syrian Government for a project entitled Technical Services and Feasibility Studies The purpose of the grant was to provide a variety of short-term expert advisory services and to conduct feasibility and technical studies to identify design and implementhigh-priority projects The FY 1975 grant is fully committed and includes a commitment to partially fund a portion (approximately$400000) of a Transportation Sector Study The remainingportion of the costs of the Transportation Sector Study ($21 million)is to be financed from funds made available under the $35 million Technical Services and Feasibility Studies II Grant authorized in FY 1977
The FY 1977 grant for $35 million was authorized on the basis ofthe progress of the FY 1975 grant That FY 1975 grant providedSyria with the funding to procure technical expertise required in identifying and implementing additional priority projects for theSyrian development plan The FY 1977 grant was provided essentiallyto fund two sector studies - the Agricultural Sector Study and the Transportation Sector Study
Syria is continuing to develop requests for feasibility studies and other types of technical assistance In addition there has been a substantial increase in the cost of financing the Lattakia Feasibility Study under the FY 75 grant and in the anticipated cost of the Transportation Sector Study A $2 million grant is therefore now needed to continue activities similar to those financed under the two previous grants
- 2 -
The $20 million grant which Syria has requested for FY 1978funding has been allocated for the following activities $250000for additional funding required for the Agricultural Sector Assessshyment $750000 for a Health Sector Assessment $250000 for theNasriva Feasibility Study $60000 for the Upper Orontes Feasishybilty Study $50000 for project design activities $100000 forcontingency and unanticipated requests
An Advice of Program Change was required because the CongressionalPresentation for 1978 requested $350000 An Advice was transmittedby AID to Congress on January 19 1978 and the 15-day waitingperiod has expired No oblections were received from Congress byAID
These grants have furthered US political objectives in Syria byenabling the US Government to respond to Syrian requests forassistance in project development in a flexible and positive wayunder the Supporting Assistance Program Further they have provenessential in providing project selection and design for both SARG and AID
As regards human rights under the Section 502 B under the FAA 1961as amended the State Desk and the NEA Bureau Human Rights Officeradvise that there are no recent developments which adverselyaffect Syrias respect for human rights
Recommendation That you approve the $20 -illion FY 1978 grant bysigning Part II of the attached Project Authorization and Requestfor Allotment of Funds

ACTION HEORANDUM FOR THE ASSTSTANT ADMI-NISTRATOR NXAR EAST BUREAU
FROM NECDSelig A alnblatt
SUBJECT Syria - Technical Services and Feasibility Studies Grant III for $20 million
Problem Your approval is required to finance a $20 million grant to the Government of Syria (SARG) for technical services and feasibility studies
Discussion In FY 1975 a grant for $40 million was made by AID to the Syrian Government for a project entitled Technical Services and Feasibility Studies The purpose of the grant was to provide a variety of short-term expert advisory services and to conduct feasibility and technical studies to identify design and implementhigh-priority projects The FY 1975 grant is fully committed and includes a commitment to partially fund a portion (approximately$400000) of a Transportation Sector Study The remainingportion of the costs of the Transportation Sector Study ($21 million)is to be financed from funds made available under the $35 million Technical Services and Feasibility Studies II Grant authorized in FY 1977
The FY 1977 grant for $35 million was authorized on the basis ofthe progress of the FY 1975 grant That FY 1975 grant providedSyria with the funding to procure technical expertise required in identifying and implementing additional priority projects for theSyrian development plan The FY 1977 grant was provided essentiallyto fund two sector studies - the Agricultural Sector Study and the Transportation Sector Study
Syria is continuing to develop requests for feasibility studies and other types of technical assistance In addition there has been a substantial increase in the cost of financing the Lattakia Feasibility Study under the FY 75 grant and in the anticipated cost of the Transportation Sector Study A $2 million grant is therefore now needed to continue activities similar to those financed under the two previous grants
- 2 -
The $20 million grant which Syria has requested for FY 1978funding has been allocated for the following activities $250000for additional funding required for the Agricultural Sector Assessshyment $750000 for a Health Sector Assessment $250000 for theNasriva Feasibility Study $60000 for the Upper Orontes Feasishybilty Study $50000 for project design activities $100000 forcontingency and unanticipated requests
An Advice of Program Change was required because the CongressionalPresentation for 1978 requested $350000 An Advice was transmittedby AID to Congress on January 19 1978 and the 15-day waitingperiod has expired No oblections were received from Congress byAID
These grants have furthered US political objectives in Syria byenabling the US Government to respond to Syrian requests forassistance in project development in a flexible and positive wayunder the Supporting Assistance Program Further they have provenessential in providing project selection and design for both SARG and AID
As regards human rights under the Section 502 B under the FAA 1961as amended the State Desk and the NEA Bureau Human Rights Officeradvise that there are no recent developments which adverselyaffect Syrias respect for human rights
Recommendation That you approve the $20 -illion FY 1978 grant bysigning Part II of the attached Project Authorization and Requestfor Allotment of Funds

ACTION HEORANDUM FOR THE ASSTSTANT ADMI-NISTRATOR NXAR EAST BUREAU
FROM NECDSelig A alnblatt
SUBJECT Syria - Technical Services and Feasibility Studies Grant III for $20 million
Problem Your approval is required to finance a $20 million grant to the Government of Syria (SARG) for technical services and feasibility studies
Discussion In FY 1975 a grant for $40 million was made by AID to the Syrian Government for a project entitled Technical Services and Feasibility Studies The purpose of the grant was to provide a variety of short-term expert advisory services and to conduct feasibility and technical studies to identify design and implementhigh-priority projects The FY 1975 grant is fully committed and includes a commitment to partially fund a portion (approximately$400000) of a Transportation Sector Study The remainingportion of the costs of the Transportation Sector Study ($21 million)is to be financed from funds made available under the $35 million Technical Services and Feasibility Studies II Grant authorized in FY 1977
The FY 1977 grant for $35 million was authorized on the basis ofthe progress of the FY 1975 grant That FY 1975 grant providedSyria with the funding to procure technical expertise required in identifying and implementing additional priority projects for theSyrian development plan The FY 1977 grant was provided essentiallyto fund two sector studies - the Agricultural Sector Study and the Transportation Sector Study
Syria is continuing to develop requests for feasibility studies and other types of technical assistance In addition there has been a substantial increase in the cost of financing the Lattakia Feasibility Study under the FY 75 grant and in the anticipated cost of the Transportation Sector Study A $2 million grant is therefore now needed to continue activities similar to those financed under the two previous grants
- 2 -
The $20 million grant which Syria has requested for FY 1978funding has been allocated for the following activities $250000for additional funding required for the Agricultural Sector Assessshyment $750000 for a Health Sector Assessment $250000 for theNasriva Feasibility Study $60000 for the Upper Orontes Feasishybilty Study $50000 for project design activities $100000 forcontingency and unanticipated requests
An Advice of Program Change was required because the CongressionalPresentation for 1978 requested $350000 An Advice was transmittedby AID to Congress on January 19 1978 and the 15-day waitingperiod has expired No oblections were received from Congress byAID
These grants have furthered US political objectives in Syria byenabling the US Government to respond to Syrian requests forassistance in project development in a flexible and positive wayunder the Supporting Assistance Program Further they have provenessential in providing project selection and design for both SARG and AID
As regards human rights under the Section 502 B under the FAA 1961as amended the State Desk and the NEA Bureau Human Rights Officeradvise that there are no recent developments which adverselyaffect Syrias respect for human rights
Recommendation That you approve the $20 -illion FY 1978 grant bysigning Part II of the attached Project Authorization and Requestfor Allotment of Funds

ACTION HEORANDUM FOR THE ASSTSTANT ADMI-NISTRATOR NXAR EAST BUREAU
FROM NECDSelig A alnblatt
SUBJECT Syria - Technical Services and Feasibility Studies Grant III for $20 million
Problem Your approval is required to finance a $20 million grant to the Government of Syria (SARG) for technical services and feasibility studies
Discussion In FY 1975 a grant for $40 million was made by AID to the Syrian Government for a project entitled Technical Services and Feasibility Studies The purpose of the grant was to provide a variety of short-term expert advisory services and to conduct feasibility and technical studies to identify design and implementhigh-priority projects The FY 1975 grant is fully committed and includes a commitment to partially fund a portion (approximately$400000) of a Transportation Sector Study The remainingportion of the costs of the Transportation Sector Study ($21 million)is to be financed from funds made available under the $35 million Technical Services and Feasibility Studies II Grant authorized in FY 1977
The FY 1977 grant for $35 million was authorized on the basis ofthe progress of the FY 1975 grant That FY 1975 grant providedSyria with the funding to procure technical expertise required in identifying and implementing additional priority projects for theSyrian development plan The FY 1977 grant was provided essentiallyto fund two sector studies - the Agricultural Sector Study and the Transportation Sector Study
Syria is continuing to develop requests for feasibility studies and other types of technical assistance In addition there has been a substantial increase in the cost of financing the Lattakia Feasibility Study under the FY 75 grant and in the anticipated cost of the Transportation Sector Study A $2 million grant is therefore now needed to continue activities similar to those financed under the two previous grants
- 2 -
The $20 million grant which Syria has requested for FY 1978funding has been allocated for the following activities $250000for additional funding required for the Agricultural Sector Assessshyment $750000 for a Health Sector Assessment $250000 for theNasriva Feasibility Study $60000 for the Upper Orontes Feasishybilty Study $50000 for project design activities $100000 forcontingency and unanticipated requests
An Advice of Program Change was required because the CongressionalPresentation for 1978 requested $350000 An Advice was transmittedby AID to Congress on January 19 1978 and the 15-day waitingperiod has expired No oblections were received from Congress byAID
These grants have furthered US political objectives in Syria byenabling the US Government to respond to Syrian requests forassistance in project development in a flexible and positive wayunder the Supporting Assistance Program Further they have provenessential in providing project selection and design for both SARG and AID
As regards human rights under the Section 502 B under the FAA 1961as amended the State Desk and the NEA Bureau Human Rights Officeradvise that there are no recent developments which adverselyaffect Syrias respect for human rights
Recommendation That you approve the $20 -illion FY 1978 grant bysigning Part II of the attached Project Authorization and Requestfor Allotment of Funds

ACTION HEORANDUM FOR THE ASSTSTANT ADMI-NISTRATOR NXAR EAST BUREAU
FROM NECDSelig A alnblatt
SUBJECT Syria - Technical Services and Feasibility Studies Grant III for $20 million
Problem Your approval is required to finance a $20 million grant to the Government of Syria (SARG) for technical services and feasibility studies
Discussion In FY 1975 a grant for $40 million was made by AID to the Syrian Government for a project entitled Technical Services and Feasibility Studies The purpose of the grant was to provide a variety of short-term expert advisory services and to conduct feasibility and technical studies to identify design and implementhigh-priority projects The FY 1975 grant is fully committed and includes a commitment to partially fund a portion (approximately$400000) of a Transportation Sector Study The remainingportion of the costs of the Transportation Sector Study ($21 million)is to be financed from funds made available under the $35 million Technical Services and Feasibility Studies II Grant authorized in FY 1977
The FY 1977 grant for $35 million was authorized on the basis ofthe progress of the FY 1975 grant That FY 1975 grant providedSyria with the funding to procure technical expertise required in identifying and implementing additional priority projects for theSyrian development plan The FY 1977 grant was provided essentiallyto fund two sector studies - the Agricultural Sector Study and the Transportation Sector Study
Syria is continuing to develop requests for feasibility studies and other types of technical assistance In addition there has been a substantial increase in the cost of financing the Lattakia Feasibility Study under the FY 75 grant and in the anticipated cost of the Transportation Sector Study A $2 million grant is therefore now needed to continue activities similar to those financed under the two previous grants
- 2 -
The $20 million grant which Syria has requested for FY 1978funding has been allocated for the following activities $250000for additional funding required for the Agricultural Sector Assessshyment $750000 for a Health Sector Assessment $250000 for theNasriva Feasibility Study $60000 for the Upper Orontes Feasishybilty Study $50000 for project design activities $100000 forcontingency and unanticipated requests
An Advice of Program Change was required because the CongressionalPresentation for 1978 requested $350000 An Advice was transmittedby AID to Congress on January 19 1978 and the 15-day waitingperiod has expired No oblections were received from Congress byAID
These grants have furthered US political objectives in Syria byenabling the US Government to respond to Syrian requests forassistance in project development in a flexible and positive wayunder the Supporting Assistance Program Further they have provenessential in providing project selection and design for both SARG and AID
As regards human rights under the Section 502 B under the FAA 1961as amended the State Desk and the NEA Bureau Human Rights Officeradvise that there are no recent developments which adverselyaffect Syrias respect for human rights
Recommendation That you approve the $20 -illion FY 1978 grant bysigning Part II of the attached Project Authorization and Requestfor Allotment of Funds

ACTION HEORANDUM FOR THE ASSTSTANT ADMI-NISTRATOR NXAR EAST BUREAU
FROM NECDSelig A alnblatt
SUBJECT Syria - Technical Services and Feasibility Studies Grant III for $20 million
Problem Your approval is required to finance a $20 million grant to the Government of Syria (SARG) for technical services and feasibility studies
Discussion In FY 1975 a grant for $40 million was made by AID to the Syrian Government for a project entitled Technical Services and Feasibility Studies The purpose of the grant was to provide a variety of short-term expert advisory services and to conduct feasibility and technical studies to identify design and implementhigh-priority projects The FY 1975 grant is fully committed and includes a commitment to partially fund a portion (approximately$400000) of a Transportation Sector Study The remainingportion of the costs of the Transportation Sector Study ($21 million)is to be financed from funds made available under the $35 million Technical Services and Feasibility Studies II Grant authorized in FY 1977
The FY 1977 grant for $35 million was authorized on the basis ofthe progress of the FY 1975 grant That FY 1975 grant providedSyria with the funding to procure technical expertise required in identifying and implementing additional priority projects for theSyrian development plan The FY 1977 grant was provided essentiallyto fund two sector studies - the Agricultural Sector Study and the Transportation Sector Study
Syria is continuing to develop requests for feasibility studies and other types of technical assistance In addition there has been a substantial increase in the cost of financing the Lattakia Feasibility Study under the FY 75 grant and in the anticipated cost of the Transportation Sector Study A $2 million grant is therefore now needed to continue activities similar to those financed under the two previous grants
- 2 -
The $20 million grant which Syria has requested for FY 1978funding has been allocated for the following activities $250000for additional funding required for the Agricultural Sector Assessshyment $750000 for a Health Sector Assessment $250000 for theNasriva Feasibility Study $60000 for the Upper Orontes Feasishybilty Study $50000 for project design activities $100000 forcontingency and unanticipated requests
An Advice of Program Change was required because the CongressionalPresentation for 1978 requested $350000 An Advice was transmittedby AID to Congress on January 19 1978 and the 15-day waitingperiod has expired No oblections were received from Congress byAID
These grants have furthered US political objectives in Syria byenabling the US Government to respond to Syrian requests forassistance in project development in a flexible and positive wayunder the Supporting Assistance Program Further they have provenessential in providing project selection and design for both SARG and AID
As regards human rights under the Section 502 B under the FAA 1961as amended the State Desk and the NEA Bureau Human Rights Officeradvise that there are no recent developments which adverselyaffect Syrias respect for human rights
Recommendation That you approve the $20 -illion FY 1978 grant bysigning Part II of the attached Project Authorization and Requestfor Allotment of Funds

ACTION HEORANDUM FOR THE ASSTSTANT ADMI-NISTRATOR NXAR EAST BUREAU
FROM NECDSelig A alnblatt
SUBJECT Syria - Technical Services and Feasibility Studies Grant III for $20 million
Problem Your approval is required to finance a $20 million grant to the Government of Syria (SARG) for technical services and feasibility studies
Discussion In FY 1975 a grant for $40 million was made by AID to the Syrian Government for a project entitled Technical Services and Feasibility Studies The purpose of the grant was to provide a variety of short-term expert advisory services and to conduct feasibility and technical studies to identify design and implementhigh-priority projects The FY 1975 grant is fully committed and includes a commitment to partially fund a portion (approximately$400000) of a Transportation Sector Study The remainingportion of the costs of the Transportation Sector Study ($21 million)is to be financed from funds made available under the $35 million Technical Services and Feasibility Studies II Grant authorized in FY 1977
The FY 1977 grant for $35 million was authorized on the basis ofthe progress of the FY 1975 grant That FY 1975 grant providedSyria with the funding to procure technical expertise required in identifying and implementing additional priority projects for theSyrian development plan The FY 1977 grant was provided essentiallyto fund two sector studies - the Agricultural Sector Study and the Transportation Sector Study
Syria is continuing to develop requests for feasibility studies and other types of technical assistance In addition there has been a substantial increase in the cost of financing the Lattakia Feasibility Study under the FY 75 grant and in the anticipated cost of the Transportation Sector Study A $2 million grant is therefore now needed to continue activities similar to those financed under the two previous grants

The $20 million grant which Syria has requested for FY 1978funding has been allocated for the following activities $250000for additional funding required for the Agricultural Sector Assessshyment $750000 for a Health Sector Assessment $250000 for theNasriva Feasibility Study $60000 for the Upper Orontes Feasishybilty Study $50000 for project design activities $100000 forcontingency and unanticipated requests
An Advice of Program Change was required because the CongressionalPresentation for 1978 requested $350000 An Advice was transmittedby AID to Congress on January 19 1978 and the 15-day waitingperiod has expired No oblections were received from Congress byAID
These grants have furthered US political objectives in Syria byenabling the US Government to respond to Syrian requests forassistance in project development in a flexible and positive wayunder the Supporting Assistance Program Further they have provenessential in providing project selection and design for both SARG and AID
As regards human rights under the Section 502 B under the FAA 1961as amended the State Desk and the NEA Bureau Human Rights Officeradvise that there are no recent developments which adverselyaffect Syrias respect for human rights
Recommendation That you approve the $20 -illion FY 1978 grant bysigning Part II of the attached Project Authorization and Requestfor Allotment of Funds

ACTION HEORANDUM FOR THE ASSTSTANT ADMI-NISTRATOR NXAR EAST BUREAU
FROM NECDSelig A alnblatt
SUBJECT Syria - Technical Services and Feasibility Studies Grant III for $20 million
Problem Your approval is required to finance a $20 million grant to the Government of Syria (SARG) for technical services and feasibility studies
Discussion In FY 1975 a grant for $40 million was made by AID to the Syrian Government for a project entitled Technical Services and Feasibility Studies The purpose of the grant was to provide a variety of short-term expert advisory services and to conduct feasibility and technical studies to identify design and implementhigh-priority projects The FY 1975 grant is fully committed and includes a commitment to partially fund a portion (approximately$400000) of a Transportation Sector Study The remainingportion of the costs of the Transportation Sector Study ($21 million)is to be financed from funds made available under the $35 million Technical Services and Feasibility Studies II Grant authorized in FY 1977
The FY 1977 grant for $35 million was authorized on the basis ofthe progress of the FY 1975 grant That FY 1975 grant providedSyria with the funding to procure technical expertise required in identifying and implementing additional priority projects for theSyrian development plan The FY 1977 grant was provided essentiallyto fund two sector studies - the Agricultural Sector Study and the Transportation Sector Study
Syria is continuing to develop requests for feasibility studies and other types of technical assistance In addition there has been a substantial increase in the cost of financing the Lattakia Feasibility Study under the FY 75 grant and in the anticipated cost of the Transportation Sector Study A $2 million grant is therefore now needed to continue activities similar to those financed under the two previous grants
- 2 -
The $20 million grant which Syria has requested for FY 1978funding has been allocated for the following activities $250000for additional funding required for the Agricultural Sector Assessshyment $750000 for a Health Sector Assessment $250000 for theNasriva Feasibility Study $60000 for the Upper Orontes Feasishybilty Study $50000 for project design activities $100000 forcontingency and unanticipated requests
An Advice of Program Change was required because the CongressionalPresentation for 1978 requested $350000 An Advice was transmittedby AID to Congress on January 19 1978 and the 15-day waitingperiod has expired No oblections were received from Congress byAID
These grants have furthered US political objectives in Syria byenabling the US Government to respond to Syrian requests forassistance in project development in a flexible and positive wayunder the Supporting Assistance Program Further they have provenessential in providing project selection and design for both SARG and AID
As regards human rights under the Section 502 B under the FAA 1961as amended the State Desk and the NEA Bureau Human Rights Officeradvise that there are no recent developments which adverselyaffect Syrias respect for human rights
Recommendation That you approve the $20 -illion FY 1978 grant bysigning Part II of the attached Project Authorization and Requestfor Allotment of Funds

ACTION HEORANDUM FOR THE ASSTSTANT ADMI-NISTRATOR NXAR EAST BUREAU
FROM NECDSelig A alnblatt
SUBJECT Syria - Technical Services and Feasibility Studies Grant III for $20 million
Problem Your approval is required to finance a $20 million grant to the Government of Syria (SARG) for technical services and feasibility studies
Discussion In FY 1975 a grant for $40 million was made by AID to the Syrian Government for a project entitled Technical Services and Feasibility Studies The purpose of the grant was to provide a variety of short-term expert advisory services and to conduct feasibility and technical studies to identify design and implementhigh-priority projects The FY 1975 grant is fully committed and includes a commitment to partially fund a portion (approximately$400000) of a Transportation Sector Study The remainingportion of the costs of the Transportation Sector Study ($21 million)is to be financed from funds made available under the $35 million Technical Services and Feasibility Studies II Grant authorized in FY 1977
The FY 1977 grant for $35 million was authorized on the basis ofthe progress of the FY 1975 grant That FY 1975 grant providedSyria with the funding to procure technical expertise required in identifying and implementing additional priority projects for theSyrian development plan The FY 1977 grant was provided essentiallyto fund two sector studies - the Agricultural Sector Study and the Transportation Sector Study
Syria is continuing to develop requests for feasibility studies and other types of technical assistance In addition there has been a substantial increase in the cost of financing the Lattakia Feasibility Study under the FY 75 grant and in the anticipated cost of the Transportation Sector Study A $2 million grant is therefore now needed to continue activities similar to those financed under the two previous grants
- 2 -
The $20 million grant which Syria has requested for FY 1978funding has been allocated for the following activities $250000for additional funding required for the Agricultural Sector Assessshyment $750000 for a Health Sector Assessment $250000 for theNasriva Feasibility Study $60000 for the Upper Orontes Feasishybilty Study $50000 for project design activities $100000 forcontingency and unanticipated requests
An Advice of Program Change was required because the CongressionalPresentation for 1978 requested $350000 An Advice was transmittedby AID to Congress on January 19 1978 and the 15-day waitingperiod has expired No oblections were received from Congress byAID
These grants have furthered US political objectives in Syria byenabling the US Government to respond to Syrian requests forassistance in project development in a flexible and positive wayunder the Supporting Assistance Program Further they have provenessential in providing project selection and design for both SARG and AID
As regards human rights under the Section 502 B under the FAA 1961as amended the State Desk and the NEA Bureau Human Rights Officeradvise that there are no recent developments which adverselyaffect Syrias respect for human rights
Recommendation That you approve the $20 -illion FY 1978 grant bysigning Part II of the attached Project Authorization and Requestfor Allotment of Funds

ACTION HEORANDUM FOR THE ASSTSTANT ADMI-NISTRATOR NXAR EAST BUREAU
FROM NECDSelig A alnblatt
SUBJECT Syria - Technical Services and Feasibility Studies Grant III for $20 million
Problem Your approval is required to finance a $20 million grant to the Government of Syria (SARG) for technical services and feasibility studies
Discussion In FY 1975 a grant for $40 million was made by AID to the Syrian Government for a project entitled Technical Services and Feasibility Studies The purpose of the grant was to provide a variety of short-term expert advisory services and to conduct feasibility and technical studies to identify design and implementhigh-priority projects The FY 1975 grant is fully committed and includes a commitment to partially fund a portion (approximately$400000) of a Transportation Sector Study The remainingportion of the costs of the Transportation Sector Study ($21 million)is to be financed from funds made available under the $35 million Technical Services and Feasibility Studies II Grant authorized in FY 1977
The FY 1977 grant for $35 million was authorized on the basis ofthe progress of the FY 1975 grant That FY 1975 grant providedSyria with the funding to procure technical expertise required in identifying and implementing additional priority projects for theSyrian development plan The FY 1977 grant was provided essentiallyto fund two sector studies - the Agricultural Sector Study and the Transportation Sector Study
Syria is continuing to develop requests for feasibility studies and other types of technical assistance In addition there has been a substantial increase in the cost of financing the Lattakia Feasibility Study under the FY 75 grant and in the anticipated cost of the Transportation Sector Study A $2 million grant is therefore now needed to continue activities similar to those financed under the two previous grants
- 2 -
The $20 million grant which Syria has requested for FY 1978funding has been allocated for the following activities $250000for additional funding required for the Agricultural Sector Assessshyment $750000 for a Health Sector Assessment $250000 for theNasriva Feasibility Study $60000 for the Upper Orontes Feasishybilty Study $50000 for project design activities $100000 forcontingency and unanticipated requests
An Advice of Program Change was required because the CongressionalPresentation for 1978 requested $350000 An Advice was transmittedby AID to Congress on January 19 1978 and the 15-day waitingperiod has expired No oblections were received from Congress byAID
These grants have furthered US political objectives in Syria byenabling the US Government to respond to Syrian requests forassistance in project development in a flexible and positive wayunder the Supporting Assistance Program Further they have provenessential in providing project selection and design for both SARG and AID
As regards human rights under the Section 502 B under the FAA 1961as amended the State Desk and the NEA Bureau Human Rights Officeradvise that there are no recent developments which adverselyaffect Syrias respect for human rights
Recommendation That you approve the $20 -illion FY 1978 grant bysigning Part II of the attached Project Authorization and Requestfor Allotment of Funds

ACTION HEORANDUM FOR THE ASSTSTANT ADMI-NISTRATOR NXAR EAST BUREAU
FROM NECDSelig A alnblatt
SUBJECT Syria - Technical Services and Feasibility Studies Grant III for $20 million
Problem Your approval is required to finance a $20 million grant to the Government of Syria (SARG) for technical services and feasibility studies
Discussion In FY 1975 a grant for $40 million was made by AID to the Syrian Government for a project entitled Technical Services and Feasibility Studies The purpose of the grant was to provide a variety of short-term expert advisory services and to conduct feasibility and technical studies to identify design and implementhigh-priority projects The FY 1975 grant is fully committed and includes a commitment to partially fund a portion (approximately$400000) of a Transportation Sector Study The remainingportion of the costs of the Transportation Sector Study ($21 million)is to be financed from funds made available under the $35 million Technical Services and Feasibility Studies II Grant authorized in FY 1977
The FY 1977 grant for $35 million was authorized on the basis ofthe progress of the FY 1975 grant That FY 1975 grant providedSyria with the funding to procure technical expertise required in identifying and implementing additional priority projects for theSyrian development plan The FY 1977 grant was provided essentiallyto fund two sector studies - the Agricultural Sector Study and the Transportation Sector Study
Syria is continuing to develop requests for feasibility studies and other types of technical assistance In addition there has been a substantial increase in the cost of financing the Lattakia Feasibility Study under the FY 75 grant and in the anticipated cost of the Transportation Sector Study A $2 million grant is therefore now needed to continue activities similar to those financed under the two previous grants
- 2 -
The $20 million grant which Syria has requested for FY 1978funding has been allocated for the following activities $250000for additional funding required for the Agricultural Sector Assessshyment $750000 for a Health Sector Assessment $250000 for theNasriva Feasibility Study $60000 for the Upper Orontes Feasishybilty Study $50000 for project design activities $100000 forcontingency and unanticipated requests
An Advice of Program Change was required because the CongressionalPresentation for 1978 requested $350000 An Advice was transmittedby AID to Congress on January 19 1978 and the 15-day waitingperiod has expired No oblections were received from Congress byAID
These grants have furthered US political objectives in Syria byenabling the US Government to respond to Syrian requests forassistance in project development in a flexible and positive wayunder the Supporting Assistance Program Further they have provenessential in providing project selection and design for both SARG and AID
As regards human rights under the Section 502 B under the FAA 1961as amended the State Desk and the NEA Bureau Human Rights Officeradvise that there are no recent developments which adverselyaffect Syrias respect for human rights
Recommendation That you approve the $20 -illion FY 1978 grant bysigning Part II of the attached Project Authorization and Requestfor Allotment of Funds

ACTION HEORANDUM FOR THE ASSTSTANT ADMI-NISTRATOR NXAR EAST BUREAU
FROM NECDSelig A alnblatt
SUBJECT Syria - Technical Services and Feasibility Studies Grant III for $20 million
Problem Your approval is required to finance a $20 million grant to the Government of Syria (SARG) for technical services and feasibility studies
Discussion In FY 1975 a grant for $40 million was made by AID to the Syrian Government for a project entitled Technical Services and Feasibility Studies The purpose of the grant was to provide a variety of short-term expert advisory services and to conduct feasibility and technical studies to identify design and implementhigh-priority projects The FY 1975 grant is fully committed and includes a commitment to partially fund a portion (approximately$400000) of a Transportation Sector Study The remainingportion of the costs of the Transportation Sector Study ($21 million)is to be financed from funds made available under the $35 million Technical Services and Feasibility Studies II Grant authorized in FY 1977
The FY 1977 grant for $35 million was authorized on the basis ofthe progress of the FY 1975 grant That FY 1975 grant providedSyria with the funding to procure technical expertise required in identifying and implementing additional priority projects for theSyrian development plan The FY 1977 grant was provided essentiallyto fund two sector studies - the Agricultural Sector Study and the Transportation Sector Study
Syria is continuing to develop requests for feasibility studies and other types of technical assistance In addition there has been a substantial increase in the cost of financing the Lattakia Feasibility Study under the FY 75 grant and in the anticipated cost of the Transportation Sector Study A $2 million grant is therefore now needed to continue activities similar to those financed under the two previous grants

ACTION HEORANDUM FOR THE ASSTSTANT ADMI-NISTRATOR NXAR EAST BUREAU
FROM NECDSelig A alnblatt
SUBJECT Syria - Technical Services and Feasibility Studies Grant III for $20 million
Problem Your approval is required to finance a $20 million grant to the Government of Syria (SARG) for technical services and feasibility studies
Discussion In FY 1975 a grant for $40 million was made by AID to the Syrian Government for a project entitled Technical Services and Feasibility Studies The purpose of the grant was to provide a variety of short-term expert advisory services and to conduct feasibility and technical studies to identify design and implementhigh-priority projects The FY 1975 grant is fully committed and includes a commitment to partially fund a portion (approximately$400000) of a Transportation Sector Study The remainingportion of the costs of the Transportation Sector Study ($21 million)is to be financed from funds made available under the $35 million Technical Services and Feasibility Studies II Grant authorized in FY 1977
The FY 1977 grant for $35 million was authorized on the basis ofthe progress of the FY 1975 grant That FY 1975 grant providedSyria with the funding to procure technical expertise required in identifying and implementing additional priority projects for theSyrian development plan The FY 1977 grant was provided essentiallyto fund two sector studies - the Agricultural Sector Study and the Transportation Sector Study
Syria is continuing to develop requests for feasibility studies and other types of technical assistance In addition there has been a substantial increase in the cost of financing the Lattakia Feasibility Study under the FY 75 grant and in the anticipated cost of the Transportation Sector Study A $2 million grant is therefore now needed to continue activities similar to those financed under the two previous grants
- 2 -
The $20 million grant which Syria has requested for FY 1978funding has been allocated for the following activities $250000for additional funding required for the Agricultural Sector Assessshyment $750000 for a Health Sector Assessment $250000 for theNasriva Feasibility Study $60000 for the Upper Orontes Feasishybilty Study $50000 for project design activities $100000 forcontingency and unanticipated requests
An Advice of Program Change was required because the CongressionalPresentation for 1978 requested $350000 An Advice was transmittedby AID to Congress on January 19 1978 and the 15-day waitingperiod has expired No oblections were received from Congress byAID
These grants have furthered US political objectives in Syria byenabling the US Government to respond to Syrian requests forassistance in project development in a flexible and positive wayunder the Supporting Assistance Program Further they have provenessential in providing project selection and design for both SARG and AID
As regards human rights under the Section 502 B under the FAA 1961as amended the State Desk and the NEA Bureau Human Rights Officeradvise that there are no recent developments which adverselyaffect Syrias respect for human rights
Recommendation That you approve the $20 -illion FY 1978 grant bysigning Part II of the attached Project Authorization and Requestfor Allotment of Funds

ACTION HEORANDUM FOR THE ASSTSTANT ADMI-NISTRATOR NXAR EAST BUREAU
FROM NECDSelig A alnblatt
SUBJECT Syria - Technical Services and Feasibility Studies Grant III for $20 million
Problem Your approval is required to finance a $20 million grant to the Government of Syria (SARG) for technical services and feasibility studies
Discussion In FY 1975 a grant for $40 million was made by AID to the Syrian Government for a project entitled Technical Services and Feasibility Studies The purpose of the grant was to provide a variety of short-term expert advisory services and to conduct feasibility and technical studies to identify design and implementhigh-priority projects The FY 1975 grant is fully committed and includes a commitment to partially fund a portion (approximately$400000) of a Transportation Sector Study The remainingportion of the costs of the Transportation Sector Study ($21 million)is to be financed from funds made available under the $35 million Technical Services and Feasibility Studies II Grant authorized in FY 1977
The FY 1977 grant for $35 million was authorized on the basis ofthe progress of the FY 1975 grant That FY 1975 grant providedSyria with the funding to procure technical expertise required in identifying and implementing additional priority projects for theSyrian development plan The FY 1977 grant was provided essentiallyto fund two sector studies - the Agricultural Sector Study and the Transportation Sector Study
Syria is continuing to develop requests for feasibility studies and other types of technical assistance In addition there has been a substantial increase in the cost of financing the Lattakia Feasibility Study under the FY 75 grant and in the anticipated cost of the Transportation Sector Study A $2 million grant is therefore now needed to continue activities similar to those financed under the two previous grants
- 2 -
The $20 million grant which Syria has requested for FY 1978funding has been allocated for the following activities $250000for additional funding required for the Agricultural Sector Assessshyment $750000 for a Health Sector Assessment $250000 for theNasriva Feasibility Study $60000 for the Upper Orontes Feasishybilty Study $50000 for project design activities $100000 forcontingency and unanticipated requests
An Advice of Program Change was required because the CongressionalPresentation for 1978 requested $350000 An Advice was transmittedby AID to Congress on January 19 1978 and the 15-day waitingperiod has expired No oblections were received from Congress byAID
These grants have furthered US political objectives in Syria byenabling the US Government to respond to Syrian requests forassistance in project development in a flexible and positive wayunder the Supporting Assistance Program Further they have provenessential in providing project selection and design for both SARG and AID
As regards human rights under the Section 502 B under the FAA 1961as amended the State Desk and the NEA Bureau Human Rights Officeradvise that there are no recent developments which adverselyaffect Syrias respect for human rights
Recommendation That you approve the $20 -illion FY 1978 grant bysigning Part II of the attached Project Authorization and Requestfor Allotment of Funds

ACTION HEORANDUM FOR THE ASSTSTANT ADMI-NISTRATOR NXAR EAST BUREAU
FROM NECDSelig A alnblatt
SUBJECT Syria - Technical Services and Feasibility Studies Grant III for $20 million
Problem Your approval is required to finance a $20 million grant to the Government of Syria (SARG) for technical services and feasibility studies
Discussion In FY 1975 a grant for $40 million was made by AID to the Syrian Government for a project entitled Technical Services and Feasibility Studies The purpose of the grant was to provide a variety of short-term expert advisory services and to conduct feasibility and technical studies to identify design and implementhigh-priority projects The FY 1975 grant is fully committed and includes a commitment to partially fund a portion (approximately$400000) of a Transportation Sector Study The remainingportion of the costs of the Transportation Sector Study ($21 million)is to be financed from funds made available under the $35 million Technical Services and Feasibility Studies II Grant authorized in FY 1977
The FY 1977 grant for $35 million was authorized on the basis ofthe progress of the FY 1975 grant That FY 1975 grant providedSyria with the funding to procure technical expertise required in identifying and implementing additional priority projects for theSyrian development plan The FY 1977 grant was provided essentiallyto fund two sector studies - the Agricultural Sector Study and the Transportation Sector Study
Syria is continuing to develop requests for feasibility studies and other types of technical assistance In addition there has been a substantial increase in the cost of financing the Lattakia Feasibility Study under the FY 75 grant and in the anticipated cost of the Transportation Sector Study A $2 million grant is therefore now needed to continue activities similar to those financed under the two previous grants
- 2 -
The $20 million grant which Syria has requested for FY 1978funding has been allocated for the following activities $250000for additional funding required for the Agricultural Sector Assessshyment $750000 for a Health Sector Assessment $250000 for theNasriva Feasibility Study $60000 for the Upper Orontes Feasishybilty Study $50000 for project design activities $100000 forcontingency and unanticipated requests
An Advice of Program Change was required because the CongressionalPresentation for 1978 requested $350000 An Advice was transmittedby AID to Congress on January 19 1978 and the 15-day waitingperiod has expired No oblections were received from Congress byAID
These grants have furthered US political objectives in Syria byenabling the US Government to respond to Syrian requests forassistance in project development in a flexible and positive wayunder the Supporting Assistance Program Further they have provenessential in providing project selection and design for both SARG and AID
As regards human rights under the Section 502 B under the FAA 1961as amended the State Desk and the NEA Bureau Human Rights Officeradvise that there are no recent developments which adverselyaffect Syrias respect for human rights
Recommendation That you approve the $20 -illion FY 1978 grant bysigning Part II of the attached Project Authorization and Requestfor Allotment of Funds

ACTION HEORANDUM FOR THE ASSTSTANT ADMI-NISTRATOR NXAR EAST BUREAU
FROM NECDSelig A alnblatt
SUBJECT Syria - Technical Services and Feasibility Studies Grant III for $20 million
Problem Your approval is required to finance a $20 million grant to the Government of Syria (SARG) for technical services and feasibility studies
Discussion In FY 1975 a grant for $40 million was made by AID to the Syrian Government for a project entitled Technical Services and Feasibility Studies The purpose of the grant was to provide a variety of short-term expert advisory services and to conduct feasibility and technical studies to identify design and implementhigh-priority projects The FY 1975 grant is fully committed and includes a commitment to partially fund a portion (approximately$400000) of a Transportation Sector Study The remainingportion of the costs of the Transportation Sector Study ($21 million)is to be financed from funds made available under the $35 million Technical Services and Feasibility Studies II Grant authorized in FY 1977
The FY 1977 grant for $35 million was authorized on the basis ofthe progress of the FY 1975 grant That FY 1975 grant providedSyria with the funding to procure technical expertise required in identifying and implementing additional priority projects for theSyrian development plan The FY 1977 grant was provided essentiallyto fund two sector studies - the Agricultural Sector Study and the Transportation Sector Study
Syria is continuing to develop requests for feasibility studies and other types of technical assistance In addition there has been a substantial increase in the cost of financing the Lattakia Feasibility Study under the FY 75 grant and in the anticipated cost of the Transportation Sector Study A $2 million grant is therefore now needed to continue activities similar to those financed under the two previous grants
- 2 -
The $20 million grant which Syria has requested for FY 1978funding has been allocated for the following activities $250000for additional funding required for the Agricultural Sector Assessshyment $750000 for a Health Sector Assessment $250000 for theNasriva Feasibility Study $60000 for the Upper Orontes Feasishybilty Study $50000 for project design activities $100000 forcontingency and unanticipated requests
An Advice of Program Change was required because the CongressionalPresentation for 1978 requested $350000 An Advice was transmittedby AID to Congress on January 19 1978 and the 15-day waitingperiod has expired No oblections were received from Congress byAID
These grants have furthered US political objectives in Syria byenabling the US Government to respond to Syrian requests forassistance in project development in a flexible and positive wayunder the Supporting Assistance Program Further they have provenessential in providing project selection and design for both SARG and AID
As regards human rights under the Section 502 B under the FAA 1961as amended the State Desk and the NEA Bureau Human Rights Officeradvise that there are no recent developments which adverselyaffect Syrias respect for human rights
Recommendation That you approve the $20 -illion FY 1978 grant bysigning Part II of the attached Project Authorization and Requestfor Allotment of Funds

ACTION HEORANDUM FOR THE ASSTSTANT ADMI-NISTRATOR NXAR EAST BUREAU
FROM NECDSelig A alnblatt
SUBJECT Syria - Technical Services and Feasibility Studies Grant III for $20 million
Problem Your approval is required to finance a $20 million grant to the Government of Syria (SARG) for technical services and feasibility studies
Discussion In FY 1975 a grant for $40 million was made by AID to the Syrian Government for a project entitled Technical Services and Feasibility Studies The purpose of the grant was to provide a variety of short-term expert advisory services and to conduct feasibility and technical studies to identify design and implementhigh-priority projects The FY 1975 grant is fully committed and includes a commitment to partially fund a portion (approximately$400000) of a Transportation Sector Study The remainingportion of the costs of the Transportation Sector Study ($21 million)is to be financed from funds made available under the $35 million Technical Services and Feasibility Studies II Grant authorized in FY 1977
The FY 1977 grant for $35 million was authorized on the basis ofthe progress of the FY 1975 grant That FY 1975 grant providedSyria with the funding to procure technical expertise required in identifying and implementing additional priority projects for theSyrian development plan The FY 1977 grant was provided essentiallyto fund two sector studies - the Agricultural Sector Study and the Transportation Sector Study
Syria is continuing to develop requests for feasibility studies and other types of technical assistance In addition there has been a substantial increase in the cost of financing the Lattakia Feasibility Study under the FY 75 grant and in the anticipated cost of the Transportation Sector Study A $2 million grant is therefore now needed to continue activities similar to those financed under the two previous grants
- 2 -
The $20 million grant which Syria has requested for FY 1978funding has been allocated for the following activities $250000for additional funding required for the Agricultural Sector Assessshyment $750000 for a Health Sector Assessment $250000 for theNasriva Feasibility Study $60000 for the Upper Orontes Feasishybilty Study $50000 for project design activities $100000 forcontingency and unanticipated requests
An Advice of Program Change was required because the CongressionalPresentation for 1978 requested $350000 An Advice was transmittedby AID to Congress on January 19 1978 and the 15-day waitingperiod has expired No oblections were received from Congress byAID
These grants have furthered US political objectives in Syria byenabling the US Government to respond to Syrian requests forassistance in project development in a flexible and positive wayunder the Supporting Assistance Program Further they have provenessential in providing project selection and design for both SARG and AID
As regards human rights under the Section 502 B under the FAA 1961as amended the State Desk and the NEA Bureau Human Rights Officeradvise that there are no recent developments which adverselyaffect Syrias respect for human rights
Recommendation That you approve the $20 -illion FY 1978 grant bysigning Part II of the attached Project Authorization and Requestfor Allotment of Funds

ACTION HEORANDUM FOR THE ASSTSTANT ADMI-NISTRATOR NXAR EAST BUREAU
FROM NECDSelig A alnblatt
SUBJECT Syria - Technical Services and Feasibility Studies Grant III for $20 million
Problem Your approval is required to finance a $20 million grant to the Government of Syria (SARG) for technical services and feasibility studies
Discussion In FY 1975 a grant for $40 million was made by AID to the Syrian Government for a project entitled Technical Services and Feasibility Studies The purpose of the grant was to provide a variety of short-term expert advisory services and to conduct feasibility and technical studies to identify design and implementhigh-priority projects The FY 1975 grant is fully committed and includes a commitment to partially fund a portion (approximately$400000) of a Transportation Sector Study The remainingportion of the costs of the Transportation Sector Study ($21 million)is to be financed from funds made available under the $35 million Technical Services and Feasibility Studies II Grant authorized in FY 1977
The FY 1977 grant for $35 million was authorized on the basis ofthe progress of the FY 1975 grant That FY 1975 grant providedSyria with the funding to procure technical expertise required in identifying and implementing additional priority projects for theSyrian development plan The FY 1977 grant was provided essentiallyto fund two sector studies - the Agricultural Sector Study and the Transportation Sector Study
Syria is continuing to develop requests for feasibility studies and other types of technical assistance In addition there has been a substantial increase in the cost of financing the Lattakia Feasibility Study under the FY 75 grant and in the anticipated cost of the Transportation Sector Study A $2 million grant is therefore now needed to continue activities similar to those financed under the two previous grants
- 2 -
The $20 million grant which Syria has requested for FY 1978funding has been allocated for the following activities $250000for additional funding required for the Agricultural Sector Assessshyment $750000 for a Health Sector Assessment $250000 for theNasriva Feasibility Study $60000 for the Upper Orontes Feasishybilty Study $50000 for project design activities $100000 forcontingency and unanticipated requests
An Advice of Program Change was required because the CongressionalPresentation for 1978 requested $350000 An Advice was transmittedby AID to Congress on January 19 1978 and the 15-day waitingperiod has expired No oblections were received from Congress byAID
These grants have furthered US political objectives in Syria byenabling the US Government to respond to Syrian requests forassistance in project development in a flexible and positive wayunder the Supporting Assistance Program Further they have provenessential in providing project selection and design for both SARG and AID
As regards human rights under the Section 502 B under the FAA 1961as amended the State Desk and the NEA Bureau Human Rights Officeradvise that there are no recent developments which adverselyaffect Syrias respect for human rights
Recommendation That you approve the $20 -illion FY 1978 grant bysigning Part II of the attached Project Authorization and Requestfor Allotment of Funds

ACTION HEORANDUM FOR THE ASSTSTANT ADMI-NISTRATOR NXAR EAST BUREAU
FROM NECDSelig A alnblatt
SUBJECT Syria - Technical Services and Feasibility Studies Grant III for $20 million
Problem Your approval is required to finance a $20 million grant to the Government of Syria (SARG) for technical services and feasibility studies
Discussion In FY 1975 a grant for $40 million was made by AID to the Syrian Government for a project entitled Technical Services and Feasibility Studies The purpose of the grant was to provide a variety of short-term expert advisory services and to conduct feasibility and technical studies to identify design and implementhigh-priority projects The FY 1975 grant is fully committed and includes a commitment to partially fund a portion (approximately$400000) of a Transportation Sector Study The remainingportion of the costs of the Transportation Sector Study ($21 million)is to be financed from funds made available under the $35 million Technical Services and Feasibility Studies II Grant authorized in FY 1977
The FY 1977 grant for $35 million was authorized on the basis ofthe progress of the FY 1975 grant That FY 1975 grant providedSyria with the funding to procure technical expertise required in identifying and implementing additional priority projects for theSyrian development plan The FY 1977 grant was provided essentiallyto fund two sector studies - the Agricultural Sector Study and the Transportation Sector Study
Syria is continuing to develop requests for feasibility studies and other types of technical assistance In addition there has been a substantial increase in the cost of financing the Lattakia Feasibility Study under the FY 75 grant and in the anticipated cost of the Transportation Sector Study A $2 million grant is therefore now needed to continue activities similar to those financed under the two previous grants
- 2 -
The $20 million grant which Syria has requested for FY 1978funding has been allocated for the following activities $250000for additional funding required for the Agricultural Sector Assessshyment $750000 for a Health Sector Assessment $250000 for theNasriva Feasibility Study $60000 for the Upper Orontes Feasishybilty Study $50000 for project design activities $100000 forcontingency and unanticipated requests
An Advice of Program Change was required because the CongressionalPresentation for 1978 requested $350000 An Advice was transmittedby AID to Congress on January 19 1978 and the 15-day waitingperiod has expired No oblections were received from Congress byAID
These grants have furthered US political objectives in Syria byenabling the US Government to respond to Syrian requests forassistance in project development in a flexible and positive wayunder the Supporting Assistance Program Further they have provenessential in providing project selection and design for both SARG and AID
As regards human rights under the Section 502 B under the FAA 1961as amended the State Desk and the NEA Bureau Human Rights Officeradvise that there are no recent developments which adverselyaffect Syrias respect for human rights
Recommendation That you approve the $20 -illion FY 1978 grant bysigning Part II of the attached Project Authorization and Requestfor Allotment of Funds

ACTION HEORANDUM FOR THE ASSTSTANT ADMI-NISTRATOR NXAR EAST BUREAU
FROM NECDSelig A alnblatt
SUBJECT Syria - Technical Services and Feasibility Studies Grant III for $20 million
Problem Your approval is required to finance a $20 million grant to the Government of Syria (SARG) for technical services and feasibility studies
Discussion In FY 1975 a grant for $40 million was made by AID to the Syrian Government for a project entitled Technical Services and Feasibility Studies The purpose of the grant was to provide a variety of short-term expert advisory services and to conduct feasibility and technical studies to identify design and implementhigh-priority projects The FY 1975 grant is fully committed and includes a commitment to partially fund a portion (approximately$400000) of a Transportation Sector Study The remainingportion of the costs of the Transportation Sector Study ($21 million)is to be financed from funds made available under the $35 million Technical Services and Feasibility Studies II Grant authorized in FY 1977
The FY 1977 grant for $35 million was authorized on the basis ofthe progress of the FY 1975 grant That FY 1975 grant providedSyria with the funding to procure technical expertise required in identifying and implementing additional priority projects for theSyrian development plan The FY 1977 grant was provided essentiallyto fund two sector studies - the Agricultural Sector Study and the Transportation Sector Study
Syria is continuing to develop requests for feasibility studies and other types of technical assistance In addition there has been a substantial increase in the cost of financing the Lattakia Feasibility Study under the FY 75 grant and in the anticipated cost of the Transportation Sector Study A $2 million grant is therefore now needed to continue activities similar to those financed under the two previous grants
- 2 -
The $20 million grant which Syria has requested for FY 1978funding has been allocated for the following activities $250000for additional funding required for the Agricultural Sector Assessshyment $750000 for a Health Sector Assessment $250000 for theNasriva Feasibility Study $60000 for the Upper Orontes Feasishybilty Study $50000 for project design activities $100000 forcontingency and unanticipated requests
An Advice of Program Change was required because the CongressionalPresentation for 1978 requested $350000 An Advice was transmittedby AID to Congress on January 19 1978 and the 15-day waitingperiod has expired No oblections were received from Congress byAID
These grants have furthered US political objectives in Syria byenabling the US Government to respond to Syrian requests forassistance in project development in a flexible and positive wayunder the Supporting Assistance Program Further they have provenessential in providing project selection and design for both SARG and AID
As regards human rights under the Section 502 B under the FAA 1961as amended the State Desk and the NEA Bureau Human Rights Officeradvise that there are no recent developments which adverselyaffect Syrias respect for human rights
Recommendation That you approve the $20 -illion FY 1978 grant bysigning Part II of the attached Project Authorization and Requestfor Allotment of Funds

ACTION HEORANDUM FOR THE ASSTSTANT ADMI-NISTRATOR NXAR EAST BUREAU
FROM NECDSelig A alnblatt
SUBJECT Syria - Technical Services and Feasibility Studies Grant III for $20 million
Problem Your approval is required to finance a $20 million grant to the Government of Syria (SARG) for technical services and feasibility studies
Discussion In FY 1975 a grant for $40 million was made by AID to the Syrian Government for a project entitled Technical Services and Feasibility Studies The purpose of the grant was to provide a variety of short-term expert advisory services and to conduct feasibility and technical studies to identify design and implementhigh-priority projects The FY 1975 grant is fully committed and includes a commitment to partially fund a portion (approximately$400000) of a Transportation Sector Study The remainingportion of the costs of the Transportation Sector Study ($21 million)is to be financed from funds made available under the $35 million Technical Services and Feasibility Studies II Grant authorized in FY 1977
The FY 1977 grant for $35 million was authorized on the basis ofthe progress of the FY 1975 grant That FY 1975 grant providedSyria with the funding to procure technical expertise required in identifying and implementing additional priority projects for theSyrian development plan The FY 1977 grant was provided essentiallyto fund two sector studies - the Agricultural Sector Study and the Transportation Sector Study
Syria is continuing to develop requests for feasibility studies and other types of technical assistance In addition there has been a substantial increase in the cost of financing the Lattakia Feasibility Study under the FY 75 grant and in the anticipated cost of the Transportation Sector Study A $2 million grant is therefore now needed to continue activities similar to those financed under the two previous grants
- 2 -
The $20 million grant which Syria has requested for FY 1978funding has been allocated for the following activities $250000for additional funding required for the Agricultural Sector Assessshyment $750000 for a Health Sector Assessment $250000 for theNasriva Feasibility Study $60000 for the Upper Orontes Feasishybilty Study $50000 for project design activities $100000 forcontingency and unanticipated requests
An Advice of Program Change was required because the CongressionalPresentation for 1978 requested $350000 An Advice was transmittedby AID to Congress on January 19 1978 and the 15-day waitingperiod has expired No oblections were received from Congress byAID
These grants have furthered US political objectives in Syria byenabling the US Government to respond to Syrian requests forassistance in project development in a flexible and positive wayunder the Supporting Assistance Program Further they have provenessential in providing project selection and design for both SARG and AID
As regards human rights under the Section 502 B under the FAA 1961as amended the State Desk and the NEA Bureau Human Rights Officeradvise that there are no recent developments which adverselyaffect Syrias respect for human rights
Recommendation That you approve the $20 -illion FY 1978 grant bysigning Part II of the attached Project Authorization and Requestfor Allotment of Funds

ACTION HEORANDUM FOR THE ASSTSTANT ADMI-NISTRATOR NXAR EAST BUREAU
FROM NECDSelig A alnblatt
SUBJECT Syria - Technical Services and Feasibility Studies Grant III for $20 million
Problem Your approval is required to finance a $20 million grant to the Government of Syria (SARG) for technical services and feasibility studies
Discussion In FY 1975 a grant for $40 million was made by AID to the Syrian Government for a project entitled Technical Services and Feasibility Studies The purpose of the grant was to provide a variety of short-term expert advisory services and to conduct feasibility and technical studies to identify design and implementhigh-priority projects The FY 1975 grant is fully committed and includes a commitment to partially fund a portion (approximately$400000) of a Transportation Sector Study The remainingportion of the costs of the Transportation Sector Study ($21 million)is to be financed from funds made available under the $35 million Technical Services and Feasibility Studies II Grant authorized in FY 1977
The FY 1977 grant for $35 million was authorized on the basis ofthe progress of the FY 1975 grant That FY 1975 grant providedSyria with the funding to procure technical expertise required in identifying and implementing additional priority projects for theSyrian development plan The FY 1977 grant was provided essentiallyto fund two sector studies - the Agricultural Sector Study and the Transportation Sector Study
Syria is continuing to develop requests for feasibility studies and other types of technical assistance In addition there has been a substantial increase in the cost of financing the Lattakia Feasibility Study under the FY 75 grant and in the anticipated cost of the Transportation Sector Study A $2 million grant is therefore now needed to continue activities similar to those financed under the two previous grants
- 2 -
The $20 million grant which Syria has requested for FY 1978funding has been allocated for the following activities $250000for additional funding required for the Agricultural Sector Assessshyment $750000 for a Health Sector Assessment $250000 for theNasriva Feasibility Study $60000 for the Upper Orontes Feasishybilty Study $50000 for project design activities $100000 forcontingency and unanticipated requests
An Advice of Program Change was required because the CongressionalPresentation for 1978 requested $350000 An Advice was transmittedby AID to Congress on January 19 1978 and the 15-day waitingperiod has expired No oblections were received from Congress byAID
These grants have furthered US political objectives in Syria byenabling the US Government to respond to Syrian requests forassistance in project development in a flexible and positive wayunder the Supporting Assistance Program Further they have provenessential in providing project selection and design for both SARG and AID
As regards human rights under the Section 502 B under the FAA 1961as amended the State Desk and the NEA Bureau Human Rights Officeradvise that there are no recent developments which adverselyaffect Syrias respect for human rights
Recommendation That you approve the $20 -illion FY 1978 grant bysigning Part II of the attached Project Authorization and Requestfor Allotment of Funds

ACTION HEORANDUM FOR THE ASSTSTANT ADMI-NISTRATOR NXAR EAST BUREAU
FROM NECDSelig A alnblatt
SUBJECT Syria - Technical Services and Feasibility Studies Grant III for $20 million
Problem Your approval is required to finance a $20 million grant to the Government of Syria (SARG) for technical services and feasibility studies
Discussion In FY 1975 a grant for $40 million was made by AID to the Syrian Government for a project entitled Technical Services and Feasibility Studies The purpose of the grant was to provide a variety of short-term expert advisory services and to conduct feasibility and technical studies to identify design and implementhigh-priority projects The FY 1975 grant is fully committed and includes a commitment to partially fund a portion (approximately$400000) of a Transportation Sector Study The remainingportion of the costs of the Transportation Sector Study ($21 million)is to be financed from funds made available under the $35 million Technical Services and Feasibility Studies II Grant authorized in FY 1977
The FY 1977 grant for $35 million was authorized on the basis ofthe progress of the FY 1975 grant That FY 1975 grant providedSyria with the funding to procure technical expertise required in identifying and implementing additional priority projects for theSyrian development plan The FY 1977 grant was provided essentiallyto fund two sector studies - the Agricultural Sector Study and the Transportation Sector Study
Syria is continuing to develop requests for feasibility studies and other types of technical assistance In addition there has been a substantial increase in the cost of financing the Lattakia Feasibility Study under the FY 75 grant and in the anticipated cost of the Transportation Sector Study A $2 million grant is therefore now needed to continue activities similar to those financed under the two previous grants
- 2 -
The $20 million grant which Syria has requested for FY 1978funding has been allocated for the following activities $250000for additional funding required for the Agricultural Sector Assessshyment $750000 for a Health Sector Assessment $250000 for theNasriva Feasibility Study $60000 for the Upper Orontes Feasishybilty Study $50000 for project design activities $100000 forcontingency and unanticipated requests
An Advice of Program Change was required because the CongressionalPresentation for 1978 requested $350000 An Advice was transmittedby AID to Congress on January 19 1978 and the 15-day waitingperiod has expired No oblections were received from Congress byAID
These grants have furthered US political objectives in Syria byenabling the US Government to respond to Syrian requests forassistance in project development in a flexible and positive wayunder the Supporting Assistance Program Further they have provenessential in providing project selection and design for both SARG and AID
As regards human rights under the Section 502 B under the FAA 1961as amended the State Desk and the NEA Bureau Human Rights Officeradvise that there are no recent developments which adverselyaffect Syrias respect for human rights
Recommendation That you approve the $20 -illion FY 1978 grant bysigning Part II of the attached Project Authorization and Requestfor Allotment of Funds

ACTION HEORANDUM FOR THE ASSTSTANT ADMI-NISTRATOR NXAR EAST BUREAU
FROM NECDSelig A alnblatt
SUBJECT Syria - Technical Services and Feasibility Studies Grant III for $20 million
Problem Your approval is required to finance a $20 million grant to the Government of Syria (SARG) for technical services and feasibility studies
Discussion In FY 1975 a grant for $40 million was made by AID to the Syrian Government for a project entitled Technical Services and Feasibility Studies The purpose of the grant was to provide a variety of short-term expert advisory services and to conduct feasibility and technical studies to identify design and implementhigh-priority projects The FY 1975 grant is fully committed and includes a commitment to partially fund a portion (approximately$400000) of a Transportation Sector Study The remainingportion of the costs of the Transportation Sector Study ($21 million)is to be financed from funds made available under the $35 million Technical Services and Feasibility Studies II Grant authorized in FY 1977
The FY 1977 grant for $35 million was authorized on the basis ofthe progress of the FY 1975 grant That FY 1975 grant providedSyria with the funding to procure technical expertise required in identifying and implementing additional priority projects for theSyrian development plan The FY 1977 grant was provided essentiallyto fund two sector studies - the Agricultural Sector Study and the Transportation Sector Study
Syria is continuing to develop requests for feasibility studies and other types of technical assistance In addition there has been a substantial increase in the cost of financing the Lattakia Feasibility Study under the FY 75 grant and in the anticipated cost of the Transportation Sector Study A $2 million grant is therefore now needed to continue activities similar to those financed under the two previous grants
- 2 -
The $20 million grant which Syria has requested for FY 1978funding has been allocated for the following activities $250000for additional funding required for the Agricultural Sector Assessshyment $750000 for a Health Sector Assessment $250000 for theNasriva Feasibility Study $60000 for the Upper Orontes Feasishybilty Study $50000 for project design activities $100000 forcontingency and unanticipated requests
An Advice of Program Change was required because the CongressionalPresentation for 1978 requested $350000 An Advice was transmittedby AID to Congress on January 19 1978 and the 15-day waitingperiod has expired No oblections were received from Congress byAID
These grants have furthered US political objectives in Syria byenabling the US Government to respond to Syrian requests forassistance in project development in a flexible and positive wayunder the Supporting Assistance Program Further they have provenessential in providing project selection and design for both SARG and AID
As regards human rights under the Section 502 B under the FAA 1961as amended the State Desk and the NEA Bureau Human Rights Officeradvise that there are no recent developments which adverselyaffect Syrias respect for human rights
Recommendation That you approve the $20 -illion FY 1978 grant bysigning Part II of the attached Project Authorization and Requestfor Allotment of Funds

Discussion In FY 1975 a grant for $40 million was made by AID to the Syrian Government for a project entitled Technical Services and Feasibility Studies The purpose of the grant was to provide a variety of short-term expert advisory services and to conduct feasibility and technical studies to identify design and implementhigh-priority projects The FY 1975 grant is fully committed and includes a commitment to partially fund a portion (approximately$400000) of a Transportation Sector Study The remainingportion of the costs of the Transportation Sector Study ($21 million)is to be financed from funds made available under the $35 million Technical Services and Feasibility Studies II Grant authorized in FY 1977
The FY 1977 grant for $35 million was authorized on the basis ofthe progress of the FY 1975 grant That FY 1975 grant providedSyria with the funding to procure technical expertise required in identifying and implementing additional priority projects for theSyrian development plan The FY 1977 grant was provided essentiallyto fund two sector studies - the Agricultural Sector Study and the Transportation Sector Study
Syria is continuing to develop requests for feasibility studies and other types of technical assistance In addition there has been a substantial increase in the cost of financing the Lattakia Feasibility Study under the FY 75 grant and in the anticipated cost of the Transportation Sector Study A $2 million grant is therefore now needed to continue activities similar to those financed under the two previous grants

ACTION HEORANDUM FOR THE ASSTSTANT ADMI-NISTRATOR NXAR EAST BUREAU
FROM NECDSelig A alnblatt
SUBJECT Syria - Technical Services and Feasibility Studies Grant III for $20 million
Problem Your approval is required to finance a $20 million grant to the Government of Syria (SARG) for technical services and feasibility studies
Discussion In FY 1975 a grant for $40 million was made by AID to the Syrian Government for a project entitled Technical Services and Feasibility Studies The purpose of the grant was to provide a variety of short-term expert advisory services and to conduct feasibility and technical studies to identify design and implementhigh-priority projects The FY 1975 grant is fully committed and includes a commitment to partially fund a portion (approximately$400000) of a Transportation Sector Study The remainingportion of the costs of the Transportation Sector Study ($21 million)is to be financed from funds made available under the $35 million Technical Services and Feasibility Studies II Grant authorized in FY 1977
The FY 1977 grant for $35 million was authorized on the basis ofthe progress of the FY 1975 grant That FY 1975 grant providedSyria with the funding to procure technical expertise required in identifying and implementing additional priority projects for theSyrian development plan The FY 1977 grant was provided essentiallyto fund two sector studies - the Agricultural Sector Study and the Transportation Sector Study
Syria is continuing to develop requests for feasibility studies and other types of technical assistance In addition there has been a substantial increase in the cost of financing the Lattakia Feasibility Study under the FY 75 grant and in the anticipated cost of the Transportation Sector Study A $2 million grant is therefore now needed to continue activities similar to those financed under the two previous grants
- 2 -
The $20 million grant which Syria has requested for FY 1978funding has been allocated for the following activities $250000for additional funding required for the Agricultural Sector Assessshyment $750000 for a Health Sector Assessment $250000 for theNasriva Feasibility Study $60000 for the Upper Orontes Feasishybilty Study $50000 for project design activities $100000 forcontingency and unanticipated requests
An Advice of Program Change was required because the CongressionalPresentation for 1978 requested $350000 An Advice was transmittedby AID to Congress on January 19 1978 and the 15-day waitingperiod has expired No oblections were received from Congress byAID
These grants have furthered US political objectives in Syria byenabling the US Government to respond to Syrian requests forassistance in project development in a flexible and positive wayunder the Supporting Assistance Program Further they have provenessential in providing project selection and design for both SARG and AID
As regards human rights under the Section 502 B under the FAA 1961as amended the State Desk and the NEA Bureau Human Rights Officeradvise that there are no recent developments which adverselyaffect Syrias respect for human rights
Recommendation That you approve the $20 -illion FY 1978 grant bysigning Part II of the attached Project Authorization and Requestfor Allotment of Funds

SUBJECT Syria - Technical Services and Feasibility Studies Grant III for $20 million
Problem Your approval is required to finance a $20 million grant to the Government of Syria (SARG) for technical services and feasibility studies
Discussion In FY 1975 a grant for $40 million was made by AID to the Syrian Government for a project entitled Technical Services and Feasibility Studies The purpose of the grant was to provide a variety of short-term expert advisory services and to conduct feasibility and technical studies to identify design and implementhigh-priority projects The FY 1975 grant is fully committed and includes a commitment to partially fund a portion (approximately$400000) of a Transportation Sector Study The remainingportion of the costs of the Transportation Sector Study ($21 million)is to be financed from funds made available under the $35 million Technical Services and Feasibility Studies II Grant authorized in FY 1977
The FY 1977 grant for $35 million was authorized on the basis ofthe progress of the FY 1975 grant That FY 1975 grant providedSyria with the funding to procure technical expertise required in identifying and implementing additional priority projects for theSyrian development plan The FY 1977 grant was provided essentiallyto fund two sector studies - the Agricultural Sector Study and the Transportation Sector Study
Syria is continuing to develop requests for feasibility studies and other types of technical assistance In addition there has been a substantial increase in the cost of financing the Lattakia Feasibility Study under the FY 75 grant and in the anticipated cost of the Transportation Sector Study A $2 million grant is therefore now needed to continue activities similar to those financed under the two previous grants
- 2 -
The $20 million grant which Syria has requested for FY 1978funding has been allocated for the following activities $250000for additional funding required for the Agricultural Sector Assessshyment $750000 for a Health Sector Assessment $250000 for theNasriva Feasibility Study $60000 for the Upper Orontes Feasishybilty Study $50000 for project design activities $100000 forcontingency and unanticipated requests
An Advice of Program Change was required because the CongressionalPresentation for 1978 requested $350000 An Advice was transmittedby AID to Congress on January 19 1978 and the 15-day waitingperiod has expired No oblections were received from Congress byAID
These grants have furthered US political objectives in Syria byenabling the US Government to respond to Syrian requests forassistance in project development in a flexible and positive wayunder the Supporting Assistance Program Further they have provenessential in providing project selection and design for both SARG and AID
As regards human rights under the Section 502 B under the FAA 1961as amended the State Desk and the NEA Bureau Human Rights Officeradvise that there are no recent developments which adverselyaffect Syrias respect for human rights

The FY 1977 grant for $35 million was authorized on the basis ofthe progress of the FY 1975 grant That FY 1975 grant providedSyria with the funding to procure technical expertise required in identifying and implementing additional priority projects for theSyrian development plan The FY 1977 grant was provided essentiallyto fund two sector studies - the Agricultural Sector Study and the Transportation Sector Study
Syria is continuing to develop requests for feasibility studies and other types of technical assistance In addition there has been a substantial increase in the cost of financing the Lattakia Feasibility Study under the FY 75 grant and in the anticipated cost of the Transportation Sector Study A $2 million grant is therefore now needed to continue activities similar to those financed under the two previous grants

An Advice of Program Change was required because the CongressionalPresentation for 1978 requested $350000 An Advice was transmittedby AID to Congress on January 19 1978 and the 15-day waitingperiod has expired No oblections were received from Congress byAID
These grants have furthered US political objectives in Syria byenabling the US Government to respond to Syrian requests forassistance in project development in a flexible and positive wayunder the Supporting Assistance Program Further they have provenessential in providing project selection and design for both SARG and AID
As regards human rights under the Section 502 B under the FAA 1961as amended the State Desk and the NEA Bureau Human Rights Officeradvise that there are no recent developments which adverselyaffect Syrias respect for human rights
