I should like to read this amendment into the RECORD. After January 1. 1961. U.S. contributions shall not be used for programs of relief which heretofore have been administered on the basis of ration cards except for refugees whose need and eligibility for relief have been certified after July 1. 1960. The provisions of section 548. which relate to the availability of unexpended balances. shall not be applicable to unobligated balances of any funds heretofore or hereafter appropriated pursuant to this section. The President shall Include in his recommendations to the Congress for fiscal year 1962 programs under this act specific recommendations with respect to a program for the progressive repatriation and resettlement of refugees and for reducing U.S. contributions to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East. I should state to the Senate that the administration vigorously opposed the adoption of this amendment. Some days ago the committee adopted an amendment similar to this one.
