In the 41/2 months of the 1972 fiscal year which have elapsed. more than $240 million have already been obligated under authority Congress granted in the continuing resolution. Should the committee figure of $350 million be sustained today. there would be only $110 million available for supporting assistance in the remaining 7 1/2 months of the fiscal year. As Senator STENNIS has pointed out. more than $50 million are needed for vital refugee and land reform programs in Vietnamprograms strongly supported in America and crucial to Vietnams future. Mr. President. we are endeavoring with the bulk of these funds to feed. clothe. and provide medical care for the unfortunate victims of the lengthy and debilitating war in Indochina.
