For the enlightenment of the Senate. I should like to read this section from the report of the Committee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives. It reads as follows: Sections 108112. inclusive. prohibit the use of funds to initiate or expand certain programs. namely. the special education and training program. the foreign small business program. international cooperation in health. the cultural and technical interchange center. and the World Refugee Year. In other words. despite the fact that both Houses of Congress had decided that funds should be made available for assistance to Americansponsored schools abroad. that funds should be made available to assist foreign small business concerns in utilizing surplus machine tools from the United States. that the Secretary of State should study the desirability of establishing in Hawaii a center for cultural and technical interchange between East and West. that funds should be available to provide for the logical and orderly financing of international health activities. and finally. that funds should be made available for United States participation in the World Refugee Year. the House Committee on Appropriations has decided that these are not desirable activities. I hope. Mr. President. that the friends in the Senate of education. health. refugees. and the creation of an EastWest center in Hawaii will be fully aware of the significance of the action which has been taken by the House Committee on Appropriations.
