Because of my long efforts to assist in the passage of this bill. I was invited to HEW yesterday afternoon to attend President Fords signing into law of H.R. While I was away from the House. a rollcall vote was taken on the approval of the Department of State authorization bill. This bill. which was approved by 330 to 43. includes the vital authorization of $40 million in aid to Israel for assistance in the resettlement of Soviet Jewish refugees. I strongly support the authorization of this assistance and I regret having missed this rollcall. Had I been present for rollcall No. 513.
