Mr. Chairman. I move to strike the requisite number of words. The amount already contained in the appropriation for fiscal year 1980 for refugees is $426 million. When the supplemental budget request was sent to the Congress in January an additional $107 million was requested. The subcommittee and the full Committee on Appropriations recommended $100 million. [ 1420 That amendment is in this bill at the present time. The $426 million plus the $100 million additional. of course. would make $526 million. If the amendment that is now pending before the committee is adopted. we would then have an additional amount not to exceed $100 million.
