This $10 million item for the World Refugee program is to be an expenditure out of the contingency fund. The House adopted this program when we adopted the Mutual Security Act of 1959 conference report just a few days ago. Then the House Committee on Appropriations. after the authorization bill was passed. reported out the appropriation bill. The committee members knew. we all knew. of the authorization of the $10 million. The House of Representatives. this Congress. the people of this Nation. have joined together and have spent millions and billions of dollars in the International Geophysical Year and in the future we will spend billions and billions of dollars more. We have entered into the International Geophysical Year and that was all right to appropriate money for that. and I have supported the IGY. but now when it comes to the world refugees and when it is to help some people who are downtrodden throughout the world. then we begin to shed crocodile tears because this is not an appropriation committee item that has come through the Bureau of the Budget.
