I initially questioned this because Senate action had earmarked $300 million in credit sales for Israel out of $400 million in new obligational authority appropriated in the bill. I have. however. been assured as late as this morning that no less than $300 million of the 1972 program will be available for credit sales to Israel. It should be said. however. that conference action allowed $87 million for the United Nations development program previously denied by the House and the full amount of the revised budget estimate of $139 million for Cuban refugees. It should also be noted that there was full and free discussion in the conference which was well attended with the majority of conferees on each side agreeing to the compromises which were made. I have no reasons to believe my views or my disappointment is shared by other conferees and my remarks should not be considered as other than my personal views.
