First of all. since the authorization was made it has come to our attention that the numbers leaving the Soviet Union for Israel have dropped. and actually it is almost cut in half. So we felt the $25 million was more than sufficient. Second. I- think it is well that this Congress make a very thorough study of the whole refugee problem. There are Cambodian refugees. there are Palestinian refugees. there are Jewish refugees. there are refugees from many lands. It may interest the Senator to know that we are spending something like $5 per refugee in Cambodia. moving from one village to another. providing food and a simple shelter. We are providing something in the neighborhood of $18 per Palestinian refugee.
