Mr. President. on Monday. October 1. 1973. there appeared in the WashingtonStar News an article by Paul Hofmann of the New York Times News Service which quoted Chancellor Bruno Kreisky of Austria as having suggested thatThe United States and other countries share the burden of assisting Jewish refugeesa burden that he said had been long borne by Austria alone. As a matter of fact. Mr. President. it is the United States that has underwritten an overwhelming portion of the cost of transporting and resettling Jewish refugees. including a very large part of those costs incurred in Austria. Well over $50 million was made available for this purpose in fiscal year 1973 through the continuing resolution" provision for foreign assistance and related agencies. I have asked the Department of States Office of Migration and Refugees to detail the extent of the current U.S. program and ask unanimous consent that a memorandum setting forth this information be printed following the article previously mentioned.
