Sir:
I have the honor to submit for your consideration a
proposed supplemental appropriation in the amount of
$10,325,000 and a change in appropriation language for
fiscal year 1977 for the Department of State. The details
of these proposals are contained in the enclosure to this

I have carefully reviewed these budget requests, and

INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS AND CONFERENCES
International Conferences and Contingencies
Of the amount made available under this head in the Second
Supplemental Appropriation Act, 1976, $580,000 shall remain
available until September 30, 1977.
This proposal would continue until September 30, 1977, the
availability of funds previously appropriated for United States
participation in the Conference on International Economic Cooperation.
The work of that conference is likely to extend beyond December 31,
1976, the latest date for which funds are currently available.
OTHER
Migration and Refugee Assistance
For an additional amount for "Migration and Refugee Assistance",
$10,325,000, to remain available until December 31, 1977: Provided,
That this appropriation shall be available only upon enactment
into law of authorizing legislation.
This supplemental would provide assistance to refugees from the
Soviet Union going to countries other than Israel during calendar year
1977. These funds will cover interim care and maintenance costs in
countries of first asylum in Western Europe and resettlement processing
and transportation costs to countries of permanent resettlement.
