The .U.S contribution was $90.057.000. and our voluntary agencies contributed $10.700.000. a total of $100.757.000. almost $101 million. In other words. the U.S. Government and U.S. voluntary agencies contributed onethird of the total world contribution to assist the Pakistani refugees in India. Over and above that $101 million. the United States delivered $65 million in food and other essential relief. or over twothirds of the $947 million the United Nations records as pledged by all countries. So when we add the $65 million for East Pakistani relief to the $101 million. which was for IndianPakistani refugee relief. we have a total sum of $166 million which the United States has either provided or has pledged to use in East Pakistan and in India for East Pakistani relief. This does not include additional U.S. contribution of food from earlier programs which arrived during mid1971. As against the $166 million which the United States and its various voluntary agencies have contributed.
