However. I. as the author of the measure. and my distinguished colleague. the gentleman from Florida . as chairman of the subcommittee which reported the measure from the House Committee on Foreign Affairs to the House. agreed to this reduction of $5.5 million in the total authorization by the other body and are now asking our colleagues here today to accede to the Senate amendments so that the measure as adopted by the House today. as we hope it will be. will provide an authorization of $5.5 million less than was in the bill when this House voted for it 2 to I and were good enough to adopt the measure on September 22 of last year. Therefore. believing that this is a meritorious project and will contribute greatly to the provision of jobs in Dade County. where we have the Cuban refugee problem. and believing that it will advance the objectives of the Alliance for Progress program and eventually provide a site where the students of the Americas will gather together in a great interAmerican university to promote freedom and progress in our hemisphere. I hope that my colleagues will agree to this rule which will have the effect of the House concurring in the Senate amendments reducing the total authorization previously approved by this House by $5.5 million.
