President. the Committee on Appropriations has been prepared to act on the Foreign Assistance Appropriations bill since June 26. Except for five itemsMilitary Assistance. Security Supporting Assistance. Foreign Military Credit Sales. Bangladesh Refugees. and Regional Naval Training. all of the items in the bill have long been authorized. Because of the lack of authorization of these five items. which were excluded from the bill that passed the Senate. the House was unwilling to go to conference on the remainder of the bill. Thus. unfortunately. we find ourselves again confronted by an 11th hour continuing resolutionwhich everyone concerned acknowledges is an unsatisfactory way of doing business.
