Under the language of section 203 of the bill. we anticipate that $85 million will be available to replenish accounts from which assistance was provided prior to the enactment of this act. not limited to the amount of such assistance provided in the gulf region. Nor is the language of section 203 limited to costs actually incurred before enactment of this act. and thus these funds could be used to replenish amounts that have been cornmitted even if not yet obligated or expended. These funds could then be used under the broad authorities applicable to the disaster assistance and emergency refugee and migration assistance accounts. It is anticipated that the total amount of assistance provided for emergency purposes in the Persian Gulf region for fiscal year 1991 will exceed $235.5 million. The amendment follows: On page 4. line 24. strike all after the period through the period on page 9. line 16. and insert in lieu thereof:
