It exempts Israel and Egypt. because the forces within the Congress are not going to let any amendment be approved that will reduce funds for Israel and Egypt. Therefore. we would have a $265 million reduction if the 5percent reduction is made with exemptions. The bill at the present time is approximately $30 million over the committee recommendation because of the increases that have taken place here on the House floor. primarily the refugee assistance increase from $249 to $456 million. If the 5percent reduction is made. the bill will still be $204 million higher than it was when it first came to the House floor. When we have this $532 billion fiscal year 1980 budget and a $887 billion debt. and we are paying about $144 million a day interest on that debt. it is Vtme for us to take a look at where we can cut back. and we certainly can cut back at this point.
