When the Senate passed the foreign assistance bill a few weeks ago. the bill was $461.375.000 over the concurrent resolution in budget authority. It was $92.565.000 over the concurrent resolution in outlays. We were aware of that when we passed the bill and we felt we could resolve this matter in conference. The Foreign Assistance Subcommittee is presently in conference trying to do this. However. during the conference. the House. together with the administration. insisted upon adding a few more dollars. such as assistance to African refugees. and famine relief assistance for Cambodia. Now the overage in budget authority is not $461 million. but $773 million. The overage in outlavs is not $92 million. but it is now $217 million.
