Any reduction in our $1 million contribution would serve as an obstacle to our efforts to halt the spread of nuclear weapons and to reduce the dangers of their use. The budget requests for $13.300.000 for the U.N. Relief and Works Agency and $6.385.000 for the Emergency Force both have direct bearing on the volatile situation in the Middle East. The Relief and Work Agencys tasks have been greatly increased by the June hostilities. and any worsening in the condition of the refugees could bring greater unrest. Nonetheless. the figure requested does not call for an increased commitment by the United States. We should at least maintain past levels in light of the heightened need.
