The estimated requirement of $73.500.000 was included in the Executive budget which has been submitted to the Congress by the President. As the Senator from New Mexico pointed out yesterday. the re-. port of the Committee on Foreign Relations presented by the Senator from Michigan further recognized this principle. The following appears in Report No. 51. dealing with the International Refugee Organization. on pages 2 and 3: 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 cost of United States representation in the International Refugee Organization ($175.000). Those are the same figures which appeared in the previously quoted statement by Assistant Secretary Hildring. Contributions to the largescale resettlement program are on a voluntary basis. The percentages of contributions for the administrative and operating budgets are based on the assumption that all the members of the United Nations will participate in the work of the International Refugee Organization. Since some states are not expected to Join. it follows that the percentage contribution of the United States will rise accordingly even though our total dollar expenditure will remain the same. Thus if there is 85percent participation. for example. the United States contribution would amount to 54 percent of the total.
