If there are legislative proposals that merit conMderation in the work of these two agencies. they should be considered on their merits after we have had ample testimony. For fiscal year 1973 the committee recommends $648.354.000 for the Department of State and $200.249.000 for the U.S. Information Agency. The -subcommittee added $85 million to the item on migration and refugee assistance. This additional sum is intended for assistance to Israel in the settlement of Jewish refugees from the Soviet Union. Over the years the Appropriations Committee has given careful consideration to the fiscal details of these two agencies. This subcommittee. as you know. is chaired by the gentleman from New York and has scrutinized these requests.
