I thank the gentleman for yielding. Knowing the gentlemans interest in the Middle East. I think it might be worth pointing out to the Committee that this amendment does not involve in any way whatsoever the funds for the Arab refugees with which some of us have great concern. in that camps for Arab refugees may be under the control of terrorists. I spoke on this the other day and have great concern about the way the UNRWA program Is being run. The Cohelan amendment concerns a totally different program. There is no money in this item we are talking about for the Arab refugee program. This is an area where the United Nations work is widely acclaimed. The UNDP is doing a splendid job. and needs the kind of support that the full request from the administration would present.
