I know how much hard work has gone into the consideration of the appropriation bill. and it is perhaps a little unbecoming on our part to come in at this late date and offer an amendment. The $16.000.000 we are requesting is 50 percent of the $32.000.000 of the total budget. The $32.000.000 was based on 500.000 refugees. At this time. instead of 500.00 refugees. there is a basic minimum of 800.000 now in camps and being taken care of. Perhaps the figure more nearly approximates 900.000 persons. So the actual amount of money we are discussing is a very limited sum for an everIncreasing problem.
