Technical Assistance Fund amounts to more than twice the outside contributions to the central fund. If you add those contributions by the recipient governments to the contributions that we of the contributing countries make. then our share is already way below 33%/3 percent. It is down to 17 percent of the United Nations Technical Assistance Fund and 18 percent of the Childrens Fund. although our share is considerably larger in the case of the Palestine refugees. Mr. Chairman. let us stop and consider for a moment not how little the others are giving. but how much more they are beginning to give from more limited resources. And suppose other countries did not give anything. Every person here knows that the United States would be giving more. not less. to carry on these programs that are for half starved or ill children. or for destitute refugees in Korea or the Near East. or for other unfortunate human beings around the world. This Is the nubbin of the problem. Is the United States by this too drastic amendment going to undermine the foundation of some of the best programs we have supported and which in many cases we ourselves first put into operation?
