Which holds the largest share of the U.S. sugar quota. can certainly afford to make this contribution. especially in view of the fact that the cost would be less than 1 percent of the Philippine profit from its U.S. quota. And this is the .country from which the largest contribution to UNRWA would be expected. In our judgment. this amendment would provide substantial financial relief for the Palestinian refugee program without imposing .undue hardship on any. of the countries from which the U.S. buys sugar. We are working in many directions to achieve peace in the Middle East. but any ultimate resolution of the problem will require some -solution to the plight of the Arab refugees. This amendmefit supported by members of the Near East Subcommittee would be one small contribution toward helping to meet their very great needs. We bring this proposed amendment to the attention of the Congress at this point because the close rule on this sugar legislation adopted by the House today. has prevented amendments being in order.
