I am also requesting that the Congress authorize an additional $50 million for the Special Funds of the Asian Development Bank.

I will soon be forwarding to the Congress a request for supplemental appropriations to cover the remainder.

We have impounded, or withheld, $750 million.

We plan definitely to withhold $1.1 billion, or to defer it.

But we do plan definitely to withhold $1.1 billion, or to defer it.

In my Baltimore declaration of April of last year, I said to the people of the world how much we would welcome taking some of the funds that we are now spending in bombs and bullets and putting in efforts to rid that area of disease and disaster and provide education and training.

We might have to ask for extra money.

To support our own effort, I ask the Congress to authorize and appropriate for FY 1966 an additional $89 million for the Agency for International Development for expanded programs of economic and social development in Southeast Asia.

This money will serve many purposes.

I think we have proved we are not complacent in the amount of money we have put into it.

The Nation must have more money to run the war.

Within the limits of such funds as may be made available to the Office of War Information, the Director may employ necessary personnel and make provision for the necessary supplies, facilities, and services.

Such funds as may be available to enable the Director of Civilian Defense to carry out the provisions of the aforementioned act of January 27, 1942, shall be used only for acquiring facilities, equipment and supplies necessary to provide for the adequate protection of persons and property from bombing attacks.

There is no question but that funds are needed.

It is imperative in the view of the experienced directors of the Red Cross that a minimum of at least ten million dollars be contributed to carry the relief program to completion.

About ten million become necessary due to the change of wording of the emergency relief bill in respect to highways.

If their funds are not sufficient to carry out their work, they are quite prepared to appeal to the country for further funds, and I have no doubt they can command whatever funds are necessary.

In order that important operations of the Board, now in prospect, may be carried through promptly additional funds are required at this time.
