In reducing title I by $16 million below the House Appropriations Committee figure. the Senate committee had the advantage of acting later in time and. therefore. having before it the very latest figure on carryover funds and recoupments. The Senate has cut $8.472.400 under the House allowance for development loans. leaving a total of $798.727.600. of which $25 million is not new money but is the estimated total of carryover and deobligated funds. The only other cut under the House Appropriations Committee figure is the item in title II for assistance to refugees in the United States. which are funds for the rehabilitation of Cubans in this country. We reduced the House figure by $10.6 million while at the same time reappropriating available funds totaling $7.600.000. Thus. the total reduction is $3 million and represents a sum which the committee was informed may not be needed for the various programs for Cuban refugees this year. The several language provisions and changes in the bill were covered by the Senator from Rhode Island . I will just say here that I have studied these language provisions and agree to them.
