This subcommittee haq already reduced this item down to $405 million. a reduction of $102 million below the request. Most of the money contained in this section where the amendment is offered would be spent within the next 90 days. This is the very minimum by which this program can be financed and keep the refugee movement going forward. I certainly plan to keep the House informed on the expenditure of these funds and I am sure the legislative committees plan to monitor this program very closely also. We could tie these people up in staging centers if we accept this amendment. Now. within the last few minutes. I have been informed that already the number of refugees have increased over the day before. I believe this is a very minimum by which this program can be funded and I certainly try not to ever mislead the membership.
