It was one of the few instances in my long experience where both bodies included identical sums in their version of the same bill. Thus we bring back to the House an authorization bill with the same amounts that the House has previously voted. Both the House bill and the Senate amendment included $85.000.000 for Israel to assist in the resettlement in that country of Jewish refugees from the Soviet Union. The only difference in the two versions was in the formneither in the amount nor the purpose. The House had added it to the State Department authorization for migration and refugee assistance. the Senate made it a separate item. The managers on the part of the House accepted the Senate version. In all there were 27 differences between the House and Senate versions.
