We did succeed in improving the Senate language. but I find little merit in the proposal. It is not at all clear to me what useful purpose this Commission is supposed to serve. This is the first time funds have had to be specifically authorized for the Department of State and USIA as required by a provision of last years Foreign Assistance Act. The authorization for State Department includes funds for administration of foreign affairs. international organizations and conferences. educational exchanges. and migration and refugee assistance. These amounts total $648.354.000. of which $85 million is to assist in the resettlement of Soviet Jewish refugees in Israel.
