I would like to make Just a few comments on the conference agreement as it affects those items under the Jurisdiction of the Foreign Operations Subcommittee. which I chair. As already has been stated. the conference was a very amicable one. and we were able to come to a compromise agreement in a very short period of cime. The conferees agreed that funding provided for international disaster assistance and migration and refugee assistance should be available for approximately 1 year. that is two quarters into the next fiscal year. The House agreed to this extended availability of funding in exchange for the Senates willingness to drop the cap language included in the S.nate bill. The result is that while we vre providing the administration with more funding than it requested. we give them more flexibility which will thus result in the legislation securing a signature.
