Further. the levels of economic stimulus and jobcreating programs are equal to those whicl the House approved. and funds are included in the conference draft for the Speakers accelerated public works program. In addition. the draft recognizes the need to extend both emergency benefits for the insured unemployed and provide special unemployment insurance fur the uninsured unemployed. All funds for military assistance to Southeast Asia have been eliminated from the target levels for budget authority and outlays. while anticipated funding fos humanitarian assistance for Indochina refugees has been included.
