Mr. President. it is clear. from looking at those figures. that the total reduction of $2.265.000 related to other items in caring for refugees and their families. resulting in the main from a speeding up of the resettlement of the refugee families. and did not relate at all to the educational group of appropriations which were as follows: For assistance to Dade County public schools. $4.156.000. for vocational training. $1.385.000there was a reduction there to $1.326.000 due to the fact that some adults had been resettled. an appropriation for assistance to college studentsthe number of college students was the same. and that appropriation remained at $3.200.000. and the professional training allowance of $400.000 remained the same. I make this clarification for the RcORD because some persons in the public school system of Dade County. which has been reimbursed in part for the education of Cuban refugee children there. have been understandably anxious to be sure that the reductions in this field of the appropriation did not apply to education because they have worked out a very careful and full arrangement with the appropriate officials in. the Department of Health. Education. and Welfare in Washington. D.C.. as to the allowance for those educational purposes.
