Secondly. I find it is always easier if first we clear away what might be called the undergrowth. so that one can get his teeth into the larger military items in the bill. The undergrowth. if it can be called that. although that is not too happy and felicitous a term. would start with chapter 4. the first item of which deals with money for the migrant and refugee problem in Europe. In 1954 the socalled Intergovernmental Committee for European Migration handled about 118.000 migrants. In 1955 the program calls for handling 155.000 migrants. who will be taken from a number of countries in Europe. and then. under this program. funneled out to other countries. some of which are in the Western Hemisphere. I thought the amount we allowed for that purpose. on the basis of the testimony. was adequate. and at the same time not too much in order to take on this additional workload and get the job done. There is one item of $500.000 in the bill for what is known as emergency migration problems or refugee problems. which are handled by the United Nations. While the amount is modest. it deals with 37.000 destitute cases. I suppose they have surveyed the field and found that number of cases of families In utter destitution.
