I did intend to impress upon the House the fact that we were becoming a part of a very expensive program. Since no Member of the Foreign Affairs Committee has been able to refute the figures I used. and since no Member of the Appropriations Committee is now able to refute those figures. I must assume that my information was accurate. that is. that the overall program contemplates ultimately an expenditure of $2.800 per Jewish refugee. I reiterate that that is an expensive program. As I understand the program for the resettlement of Arab refugees. it only contemklates an expenditure of $200 per person. This is just the beginning of a program of great magnitude. We are aiding the Jews of Israel. and we are aiding the Arabs who have been forced to leave their homes.
