Therefore we reduced substantially the amount of new money in the bill. That is what we are now asked to authorize. It is true that there are two other items in the bill for which no appropriation is asked. which items are continued in the present authorization bill. one involving the Palestine refugees in the Near East. and the other the socalled infrastructure program. totaling $228.300.000. The new money being asked for in the pe.iding bill as it stands at the moment is $3.110.000.000. If we cut the amount by another half billion dollars. perhaps we could get by. but if we cut it by a billion dollars. as I first thought we should cut it. we would serve notice upon the world that the United States at least was withdrawing so far as our NATO program is concerned. so far as all our efforts in southeast Asia are concerned. and so far as any protection in the Far East. in the Middle East. and in all of Europe is concerned.
