If the U.N. Security Council votes for a peacekeeping mission in Ethiopia, which they have not done as yet, as the gentleman knows, but if there is, in fact, a peace accord there and the parties are withdrawing, so that a peace exists and an agreement to be enforced is in place, and the U.N. votes for a peacekeeping mission in Ethiopia, the procedure would be that the administration would notify the Congress 15 days in advance of that vote up there for a peacekeeping mission, and they would seek to reprogram into that account monies from this $500 million kitty, if you will, for that purpose. That reprogramming would come to our subcommittee; and if it meets the criteria that all the others have met that we have voted for, then it would be reprogrammed for that purpose.
