Mr. President. I should like to refer to section 101 (a) 2. the section which authorizes ECA to make an allocation of $10.000.000 for the encouragement of arrangements for the transfer and emigration of surplus populations. including refugees from behind the iron curtain to areas where they can be absorbed and usefully employed. The question I should like to ask the distinguished chairman is: Did the conferees. in their consideration of this provision. indicate or have in mind that this is a direction to the ECA. and not merely a suggestion? In other words. was it not the intent of the conferees. as I am sure it was the intent of the House and the Senate. that this was an important part of the Mutual Security Program. afid not merely something which might be done if there were funds left over which were not otherwise committed?
