Section 451(b) relates to the Presidents Contingency Fund. If we do not support this amendment we are passing a provision here to the effect that none of the Presidents contingency funds can be used for this purpose. In other words. no funds will be available for the World Refugee Year. Anybody who has visited the Middle East and has seen the Arab refugees on the sands of the desert there will certainly regret it if this House in its wisdom forecloses the possibility of any funds from this great country for the World Refugee Year. All we have now in the authorization bill is a provision that the President can use some money from his contingency fund for this purpose. There is nothing wrong with that.
