   MATTER OF:      Refugee Assistance Program  Under the Fiscal
                   Year 1980 Continuing Resolution

   DIGEST: Fiscal   year 1980 continuing resolution appropriates for
              assistance for Indochinese refugees sufficient funds to
              support 14, 000 refugees arriving in U.S. each month.

      The Under Secrptary of the Department of Health, Education, and
JaWelfare  (HEW) has requesteAf  - opinion n the amount of funds appro-
   priated for refugee assistance by the Joit Resolution Making Further
   Continuing Appropriations for the Fiscal Year 1980--and for other pur-
   poses,  Pub. L. No. 96-123, 93 Stat. 923. It is the Under Secretary's
   position that, in addition to the funds appropriated-by the resolution
   for refugee assistance by incorporating the amounts provided under
   the Departments of Labor, and Health, Education; and Welfare, and
   Related Agencies Appropriation Act, 1980 (H.R. 4389) (Labor-HEW
   Appropriation Act), the resolution appropriated sufficient funds to
   support 14, 000 newly arriving Indochinese refugees per month for the
   entire fiscal year.


      For the reasons indicated below, we agree that the continuing re-
   solution appropriated for assistance to Indochinese refugees sufficient
   funds to support 14, 000 additional refugees per month throughout the
   entire year. In addition, the resolution appropriated $75, 540, 000 for
   general refugee assistance, as provided by the Labor-HEW Appropri-
   ation Act as it passed the House of Representatives on August 2, 1979.

      There have been two continuing resolutions enacted for fiscal
  year 1980.  The first resolution (Public Law 96-86) was effective
  for the period October 1, 1979, through November 20, 1979. The
  second  continuing resolution (Public Law 96-123) is effective from
  November   20, 1979, and will remain in effect with respect to a
  specific program either until the enactment of a regular appro-
  priation for the program or, if none is enacted, until September 30,
  1980.

      Section 101(g) of the second resolution, which is identical to
   section 101(j) of the first resolution, appropriated:
