Mr. President. this amendment seeks to cut from the bill $48.500.000 from the total authorized to assist in providing new homes for Palestine refugees in Jordan. It was my privilege to visit that place. While I admit that the places where the refugees live are awful. yet we are embarking on a program under which we put up 70 percent of two projects which will cost in excess of $150 million. I think we ought to draw the line somewhereand now is the time to do it. I do not believe we shall ever satisfy the Arabs by building housing in Jordan.
