On page 9. lines 2 and 3 of S. 1802. the committee bill would provide that "not more than $7.5 million shall be available for Cyprus." The International Security and Development Cooperation Act of 1981 earmarks not less than $10 million for Cyprus. I would note that in the Foreign Relations Committee markup a figure of $15 million was first considered. so that the $10 million earmark is already a compromise figure. These funds would be used not only for refugee assistance but also for educational exchange. The $10 million figure in the authorizing bill represents a $5 million reduction from fiscal year 1981. I understand that the continuing resolution in the House bill would provide $15 million for Cyprus in fiscal year 1982.
