Mr. Chairman. I rise in support of the amendment. I think it might be helpful to remember what the conference committee said about this item. and I quote from the conference committee report: The Senate amendment authorized an appropriation of $10 million for U.S. participation in the World Refugee Year to be used for assistance to refugee groups throughout the world. The House bill contained no provision on this subject. The managers on the part of the House accepted the Senate language with an amendment that deletes the separate authorization of an appropriation. Instead the use of $10 million from funds appropriated pursuant to section 451(b) is authorized for this purpose.
