Mr. President. I wish to say that the committee gave consideration to the Algerian refugee situation and decided not to include any money for that purpose. and I think rightly so. We are assisting many refugees throughout the world. It will be recalled that we started with the Palestinian refugees many years ago. Even today we are providing 70 percent of the amount needed to take care of the Palestine refugees through the United Nations. Today we are being asked to aid the refugees in Algeria. We are being asked to do this because Russia has sent two shiploads of wheat to that area. therefore. it Is argued. we should match them. I think we have already done more than our share in regard to refugee support. I hope the Senate will sustain the committee action.
