The leader of the minority. the distinguished gentleman from Michigan. seemed to make a case that there would be an immense amount of unemployment resulting as a result of my amendment. Well. let me say that the amendment specifically exempts the people who are employed under the foreign aid bill and that this unemployment. in the manner that the gentleman from Michigan puts it. is greatly exaggerated. There has been a great deal said here to the effect that my amendment would cut off funds for migrants. for school aid. for all kinds of programs overseas. but nothing is said about the appalling military aid that this bill is channeling in the wrong directions under this bill. Just as soon as those who support this military aid are challenged they get out the crying towel and talk about migrants. the poor children. education and similar such as SANE. This is the argument they use. Of course. under a restructured foreign aid bill which could be handled very shortly a great deal of this tyue of good aid could be restored very easily.
