In addition. the committee has agreed with the House provision in H.R. 1239 creating an "Emergency Reserve for African Famine Relief" with another $225 million for title II of Public Law 480. which funds are to be available until September 30. 1986. and can be expended only if four conditions are met: First. other available funds for title II are exhausted. second. the Administrator of AID submits a plan to Congress on the utilization of additional funds. third. the President certifies that the release of the reserve funds is essential to famine relief in Africa. and four. the President submits a budget request. The latter proviso was recommended by the committee so the President will take responsibility for additional necessary spending and not unfairly criticize Congress for supposed "overspending" above his request. The committee has also recommended appropriations up to $175 million for three disaster and refugee assistance programs administered by AID and the Department of State. Mr. President. my colleagues on this floor have been very patient over the 18 years that I have stood here and pled the cause for hungry people.
