Speech #920054204

on behalf of both of us. requested a rule to permit an amendment to section 4(4) of the bill to add a new subsection (v) requiring each country sharing in the U.S. sugar market to donate to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees a portion of the sugar needed by UNRWA after 1971. Each country should help fill UNRWAs needs by providing a percentage share of the UNRWA requirement equal to the per centum of the U.S. sugar market assigned to that country. The text of our proposed amendment follows: Page 8. after line 9 insert the following: (v) by adding at the end of paragraph (6) the following: "If any foreign country fails to give assurance to the Secretary on or before December 31. 1971. that such country will supply as a donation the percentage share as hereinafter provided of the quantity of sugar needed for Palestinian refugees as established and announced annually for years after 1971 by the United Nations Relief and Work Agency. the quota for such country for such years shall not be established. The percentage shares of the quan.tity of sugar needed for Palestinian refugees to be supplied by the Republic of the Philippines and Ireland are respectively 27.36 per centum and 0.13 per centum. and each of the countries listed in paragraphs (A) and (B) of subsection 202(c) (3) will supply a percentage share of the remainder of the quantity of sugar needed for Palestinian refugees equal to the per centum stated for such country in paragraph (A) or (B) of subsection 202(c)(3). The quota for.any country for which such assurance is not given shall be prorated to other foreign countries in the same manner as deficits are prorated under section 204 of this Act. The Secretary shall issue such rules and regulations as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of this paragraph." Mr.
