So. we are paying now almost three times as much. although the percentage remains at 40 percent. Mr. Chairman. the members of the committee will recall that in previous years I have been in the well of this House calling attention to the Palestine refugee program where we were not only paying more than 70 percent of the cost of that program. but at the same time they were using American dollars to buy foods from other countries which we had in surplus. and their only excuse was that our prices were too high. Mr. Chairman. this is very simple.
