The committee will please come to order. We have met today to begin hearings on Public Law 480. There are three bills before us: S. 2891, by Senator Mundt, which would extend the law for 3 years; S. 2891, introduced by me, which would extend the law for 2 years, place additional emphasis on family planning, and provide for a new use of foreign currencies; and S. 3069, introduced by me on request, which would extend the law for 3 years. In other words, the bill introduced by myself on request from the administration is about in the same language as that introduced by Senator Mundt. These bills, with the letters from the Department dated March 12, 1968 and February 28, 1968, will be placed in the record at this point.
