If not. the Chair will rule. The proponent of an item of appropriation carries the burden of persuasion on the question whether it is supported by an authorization in law. Section 2 of the Migration and Refugee Assistance Act of 1962. codified at 22 U.S.C. 2601. establishes the Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance Fund and provides an authorization of appropriation not to exceed $100 million at any given time. The bill appropriates $45 million. and the amendment by the gentleman from Oregon appropriates another $50 million. Although the amendment would take the total for the fund to $95 million in the bill. and thus ostensibly within the authorized level. the committee report on page 112 states that an additional $55 million was appropriated by Public Law 11028.
