Chairman. I think the gentleman from Illinois does misunderstand the purpose of the $85 million. It is for the purpose of meeting part of the expense of an ongoing program. that is to say. it is not the intention of the committee to propose that additional efforts be undertaken on behalf of those refugees that would not otherwise be undertaken. It is rather the purpose of the committee that the United States would share in the cost of refugee resettlement. along with the other bodies that are contributing to this purpose. notably the very large contributions. much larger than this. coming from the Jewish community in the United States and other countries. So that these funds would be used. as the committee report says. for assistance to Israel. such as assistance for housing. clothes. food. medical care. education. and training for the resettlement in Israel of the Jewish refugees from the U.S.S.R. That is the purpose of the assistance.
