S. 1003 was reported by the committee in the spirit I have discussed. Section 1 authorizes appropriations for the State Department. It does so in four categories: $1.874 million in 1986 for the administration of Foreign Affairs. $534 million for international organizations. $26.2 million for international commissions. and $355 million for several other activities. the chief of which is migration and refugee assistance. In arriving at these figures the committee began from a simple premise: to start from 1985s original appropriation with the intention of freezing at this level unless there was strong justification for exceeding it. The result of our deliberations is a budget for State Department activities that is $108 millon below the total 1985 appropriations. including supplementals.
