The Senator from Kansas had indeed hoped to identify funds within the Senate supplemental appropriations bill which could be made available for this vital program. It was his earnest hope that the Senate could be as forthcoming in this humanitarian area as the House before the bill went to conference. However. the number of rescissions and other equally important concerns leads him to believe that the best course is to call upon the distinguished chairman of the Appropriations Committee to seek in conference these additional funds so necessary to meet refugee needs of Kampucheans. Afghans in Pakistan. and displaced persons in Somalia. as well as the resources to meet the needs created by the deepening food shortages in Africa. This has been a program supported fully by both sides of the aisle and in both bodies of this Congress.
