[blocks in formation]

The motion to lay on the table was agreed to.

Mr. MILLER. Mr. President, I have an amendment at the desk. I ask that it be read.

The PRESIDING OFFICER. The amendment will be stated.

The legislative clerk read as follows: On page 54, after line 4, it is proposed to insert the following:

"SEC. 404. Section 2 of the Act of July 31,

1945, as amended (22 U.S.C. 279a), is amended by inserting after the words 'such sums' a comma and the following: 'not to

exceed $5 million annually.'”

Mr. MILLER.

Mr. President, 2 years

ago, Congress removed the ceiling limitation of $3 million annually for the U.S._contribution to the operations of the Food and Agriculture Organization. The purpose of my amendment is to add to the bill a new section which would restore a limitation, not of $3 million, but of $5 million. The reason is that if a limitation is not restored, I fear that this item will get out of control. I am speaking particularly about the administrative situation, for that is what my amendment relates to. It has nothing to do with the freedom-from-hunger campaign of the Food and Agriculture Organization, to which we contribute many millions of dollars worth of our surplus commodities.

Since the removal of the dollar limitation of $3 million a year, for the years 1962 and 1963, the amount was increased to $4,591,668. It is now proposed, in the new budget which is being considered, after raising our contribution by $1,500,000 for each of the past 2 years, to raise the contribution another $1,300,000 for the next 2 years. I suggest that this practice will continue unless we do something in the nature of restoring the dollar limitation.

The House Committee on Appropriations has already sent to the Senate a bill proposing an appropriation of $4,591,000 for for the next year. My amendment would place the dollar limitation at $5 million. I suggest that this would provide ample room within which the Senate Committee on Appropriations could work.

Mr. MORSE. Mr. President, will the Senator from Iowa yield?

Mr. MILLER. I yield to the Senator for Oregon.

Mr. MORSE. Would the effect of the Senator's amendment be to increase the amount of authorization in the bill?

Mr. MILLER. No, it would not, because there is no dollar authorization limitation in the present law or in the bill. We removed completely the authorization limitation of $3 million 2 years ago.

Mr. FULBRIGHT. Mr. President, I have conferred with the Senator from Iowa amendment. about the The amendment was not presented to the committee. I am not completely satisfied as to its meaning; but as it has been explained to me by the Senator from Iowa, I am quite content to take the amendment to conference, if nothing serious develops in opposition to it. If it does, as I have explained to the Senator, I could make no promises about it, because I have had no opportunity to
