I want to go on record as saying that I cannot believe my eyes have been true. We have cut this bill very heavily. My amendment is a further cut. Last year we gave Israel $50.000.000 and we gave the Arab refugees $50.000.000. The facts are reported on page 53. The Arab refugees have gone down from 875.000 to 850.000. The Jewish refugees have gone down from 669.000 to 273.000. I can only say that I think it is a matter of common sense that we give these people what they had last year. and I would guess that the Arabs are getting the worst of the deal.
