The new subsection (c) authorizes specific Middle East aid expenditures once the President has determined that a peaceful settlement has been achieved in that explosive area. There is nothing in this new provision which would circumscribe existing authority to authorize supporting assistance for any eligible country. This new standby authorization is in addition to the existing authority for the Middle East aid under part I. Section (c) authorizes: First. peacekeeping activities. Second. resettlement and vocational training of refugees. Third. rehabilitation and restoration of public service facilities damaged by war. and Fourth. programs of health. education. agriculture. and community development. The objectives of the section are to speed settlement in the Mideast and to help make the settlement a durable one.
