We do not have a precise figure. but it is important to empower the President to utilize what funds are deemed as authorized. available and uncommitted funds. That is why we used the language in this bill that we used. which is simply to authorize the President to utilize available military assistance funds for humanitarian purposes in assisting refugees from South Vietnam and Cambodia. So I underscore those two points that the distinguished majority leader has commented on today. The fact remains that we must now have our sister body. the House of Representatives. take similar action.
