Chairman. I had an amendment at the desk which would have done the same thing as the amendment before the House. Therefore I am rising to support this amendment which will permit the President to use up to $10 million of his $155 million contingency fund for the U.S. share of the World Refugee Year program. I would like to point out. Mr. Chairman. that this House adopted the conference report on a rollcall vote of 257 to 153. just the other day. which included section 703. which set up and provided -authority for the expenditure of $10 million by the President of the United States out of his contingency fund for the U.S. share of the World Refugee Year. I would like to point out to the subcommittee chairman. the gentleman from Louisiana [Mr. PASSMANI. that it was only a few minutes ago that he defended the Presidents $155 million contingency fund against a cut even after the House of Representatives originally had passed out a contingency fund of only $100 million.
