Mr. Chairman. this $77 million in this account is excessive. but it should be clear that there is insufficient data at this point to give a really good estimate on how many refugees are coming in. We had some 15.000 coming in. There are possibly 7.000 or 8.000 people in Singapore. 5.000 in Hong Kong. and there are other boats in Taiwan. Japan. and elsewhere where there are refugees that may be coming in. There are small clots of people all over the world who have escaped in one way or another. mainly by sea. that may be coming in. The committee has already made some reduction in this item. and it would be a serious mistake to reduce it further.
