A part of the report is entitled "Cost of the International Refugee Organization to the United States." and the following reference is made to percentages and expenditures: Participation in the International Refugee Organization would involve an expenditure by the United States of $73.500.000 for the first year of operations. This total is based on a contribution of 39.89 percent to the administrative budget ($1.915.000). 45.75 percent to the operating budget ($69.110.000). and to the largescale resettlement operations ($2.300.000). and the estimated costs of United States representation In the International Refugee Organization ($175.000).
