Mr. Speaker. I simply want to say that. as has been already explained. chapter 2 of the bill provides for $210 million In refugee assistance and disaster assistance. as recornmended by our Subcommittee on Foreign Operations. Export Financing and Related Programs. The committee added $85 million to the administrations request. all of which is offset by a rescission. I would hope. and I would fully expect that the administration would use the ample authority which this bill provides for them to deal with all the refugee problems around the world. not just the Kurdish refugee situation. but the North African situation. as well as most certainly the Bangladesh emergency which has just arisen. I think this bill gives ample opportunity to deal with all of them. along with other authority that they have in existing law.
