On the recordJune 4, 1997
this is simply an amendment to clarify what our process is. The World Heritage and Man and Biosphere program has never been authorized by this Congress. It has never been presented to any committee of this Congress. A quarter of a million dollars this last year was spend in the State Department's budget for this program. This amendment simply states that until this is authorized by a committee of Congress, that no moneys in this authorization will be spent for this.
