Chairman. there has been a difference of opinion as to some of the other sections we have discussed in this bill. but I think all will agree so far as the contingency fund is concerned that no one can clearly foresee what the eventualities will be which will call for expenditures from this fund. And. therefore. I would like to point out that through June 6. 1968. there was a grand total of $28 million used from this fund. The contingencies. that arose included a situation in Indonesia which could not have been foreseen. support for United Nations forces in Cyprus in the amount of $4 million. interregional disaster relief for hurricanes. another item on which we required the reserves on hand for emergency was $16 million for the Biaf ran refugees. So. Mr.
