Mr. President. I am pleased to respond to this inquiry. As the chairman is well aware. in early April. by Executive order. $5 million from technical assistance was set aside for refugee purposes. About a week thereafter $98 million from the Indochina postwar reconstruction program was set aside for refugee programs. There was remaining about $70 million in the Indochina postwar reconstruction program. but these funds had already been committed and obligated. It would take about 6 months* to recapture the total amount. Of the $70 million. it is estimated that $65 million can be recaptured. There was another sum of about $147 million supposedly left over from the $700 million that the Congress had appropriated for the military assistance program in Vietnam.
