No more money is available from the $50 million for this program. Although Mr. Kellogg. on behalf of the Department of State. asked for no additional funds over the unexpended remainder of the $50 million supplemental appropriation. which. as I indicated. the State Department had also not requested. the House added an appropriation of $36.500.000 to carry out the much needed assistance to migrants from the Soviet Union. so that Israel will be able to resettle these people. Especially at this time. when Israel is feeling the drain on its meager resources as a result of the Yom Kippur war. we in the Senate can be at least as compassionate as our colleagues in the House. Accordingly I ask the adoption of this amendment to page 17. lines 7 to 10 of H.R. 11771 to add the provision: Assistance to migrants from the Soviet union for necessary expenses to carry out the provisions of section 101(b) of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act of 1972. $36.500.000.
