The purpose of this fund is to take care of the many unforeseen contingencies that arise in the program. This is not an unreasonable approach. Last year. for example. events in Hungary led to a heavy exodus of Hungarians to neighboring countries. The availability of the special fund made it possible for our Government to give these refugees assistance. Doubtlessly there will be other situations that must be financed from a special fund. But I note that of the $100 million voted last year. and despite the heavy demands made upon it. the Executive estimates that $3 million will be unobligated at the end of the present fiscal year.
