Mr. Chairman. my amendment would delete the section on migration and refugee assistance. That section provides $75 million for refugee admissions and assistance in the United States and in Israel. principally for refugees from the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. There is no limit or no ceiling that is on how much should go to Israel. There is a floor. it has to be at least $5 million of that amount. but presumably all could go to Israel. $75 million. The problem I have with that is that we have already given to Israel more than 20 percent of our foreign aid budget. some $3 billion to a little tiny nation with only 4 million people. and now we are talking about giving possibly another $75 million.
