Speech #990013512

The measure we are dealing with today follows the example of our citizens and provides additional needed food and other assistance for those suffering in Africa. Mr. President. the accounts in the bill under the Jurisdiction of the Subcommittee on Foreign Operations. which I chair. are International Disaster Assistance. Migration and Refugee Assistance. and the U.S. Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance Fund. We have suggested some language in this legislation which needs some explanation. Specifically. while we are providing for the higher amounts suggested by the House. we do so by making the funds available through fiscal year 1986 and by giving the administration some discretion to spend less sums if these higher amounts are not required.
