The second overall purpose of this legislation is to provide a sum of $100 million in section 7 for humanitarian relief. This provision was originally embodied in S. 1360. which I introduced with Senator MCGEE. and S. 1350. introduced by Senator KENNEDY. The $100 million is designated for refugees and others in Vietnam and Cambodia. It is to be furnished through the United Nations and its specialized agencies or under the auspices of other international relief agencies or voluntary organizations. The time has passed when humanitarian relief in Indochina can be handled entirely through a bilateral program between AID and the recipient governments.
