It is virtually an invitation to the State Department to continue the care of these people. and Congress says that it is perfectly willing it should be at Government expense. That is the only reason. If an amendment was adopted limiting the amount to $264.500. the amount it would take to pay the expenses of the present refugees to the 1st of April. the State Department would at least take that as a notice that Congress wanted something done in some way to relieve the Government of the United States from this daily expense of $1.900. It is for that reason. and that only. that I believe the appropriation should provide for the care of the refugees until the Ist day of April instead of July 1.
