And in some cases it is obvious that the assistance was given well before the end of 1966. In the case of Austria. for which no dollar value was given in Assistant Secretary Macombers letter. there has obviously been no change because the April paper stated: Austria has offered medical supplies. blankets and tents through the Austrian Red CrossAnd identical language is used in the memorandum inserted in the RECORD of As for Laos. while Assistant Secretary Macombers letter showed a Laotian contribution of $6.000 worth of relief aid. the State Department paper issued in April did not mention Laos. The memorandum placed in the RECORD on October 5 stated that Laos had contributed for flood relief in 1965 and had made a "small cash donation for refugees in 1966." Apparently there has been no assistance from Laos since then. In the case of Belgium. there has been a change in the assistance given. The State Department paper of April 1967 stated: Belgium has provided medicines and an ambulance. as well as scholarships for nine Vietnamese to study in Belgium.
