In the bill we now have before us we have a total of $1.123 billion. It includes $61.75 million for military assistance for countries that need help. that need it urgently to protect their freedom. their liberty. their independence. and their position in the free world. It includes $7 million for refugees. onehalf of a million dollars for juror protection in Central America and El Salvador. It includes $60 million in Public Law 480 funds for Africa. certainly a humanitarian need. $445 million for child nutrition programs in this country which are desperately needed. and $300 million for women. infants. and children programs in this country. plus $100 million for summer youth employment. It does delete $21 million in covert aid to Nicaragua. but it also deletes $175 million in other Public Law 480 funding. $5 million in food assistance to the Philippines and $70 million for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. which I think is one of the best investments that we can possibly make for the education of American adults as well as youths. in the finest programs that appear day in and day out 7 days a week on public broadcasting.
