Heretofore transportation costs for Cuban refugees were borne by the Department of State. The House directed that $844.000 be transferred from the $69.774.000 appropriated to the Department of Health. Education. and Welfare to the Department of State to cover these transportation costs. The effect of this transfer of funds. In which the Appropriations Committee has concurred. makes $844.000 additional to the Department of State to cover the costs of handling the Czechoslovakian refugee situation. There is no question that if the need should be greater. the money will be provided. We also wrote Into our report that. if the transfer of the $844.000 causes the Cuban refugee appropriation to run short. the amount will be restored in a supplemental bill.
