  • The Unintended Consequences of Congressional Reform: the Clark and Tunney Amendments and U.S
    diph_3 1/8/03 3:50 PM Page 215 robert david johnson The Unintended Consequences of Congressional Reform: The Clark and Tunney Amendments and U.S. Policy toward Angola On 20 December 1975, the U.S. Senate passed an amendment to the Depart- ment of Defense appropriations bill introduced by John Tunney (D-CA) ter- minating covert assistance to anti-Communist forces in Angola. Later that 1 winter, an amendment to the foreign aid bill, sponsored by Dick Clark (D-IA), extended the ban. The two amendments represented the high point of a congressional revolt against the anti-Communist ethos of the Cold War and executive authority in foreign policy. Although the two amendments are usually paired together, they expanded Congress’s foreign-policy presence in quite different ways.1 On the one hand, the Clark amendment relied on a traditional gambit—a rider to the foreign aid bill—to unequivocally establish the principle that Congress possessed the right to oversee covert intelligence operations. The Tunney amendment, on the other hand, used the appropriations power in a different way, in a policy rider to the Pentagon budget, to suggest that defense spending matters were fair game for congressional attempts to legislate foreign policy. Both tactics were so contro- versial that, before the debate over Angolan policy, no clear-cut congressional implementation of either approach had occurred during the Cold War. Once enacted, though, the amendments produced a host of unintended con- sequences. Their passage helped further erode the Cold War institutional struc- ture of Congress, in which that body had sacrificed potent foreign-policy tools in deference to executive authority.
