The chairman of the subcommittee has told us that this $44.665.830 asked for represents a lot of other things besides salaries. but it is a fact that over $29.000.000 of the $44.665.830 here cut. $42.500.000. goes for direct payment to all these employees according to the committees own report. One final thought. Right now we have a very restricted visa service in the United States occupied areas of Germany and Austria. But we have no appreciable visa service in the areas of Germany and Austria occupied by the British or French. A great many of us here in the House are very concerned about the fate of the displaced persons who have been very neglected. and who I have said here myself are suffering a "living death." It would take about a quarter of a million dollars in order to extend the visa service. so that the displaced persons in the British and French zones of Germany and Austria would also have a chance. but with the policy of cutting appropriations for the Foreign Service which we have here. eveh simple requirements of justice and humanity cannot be served. I therefore respectfully suggest that on the basis of the facts this amendment should be voted in the bill and the cut should not be made In the Foreign Service. which is our first line of defense for the United States. The amendment should be adopted.
