rates. The amendment was pro-
posed by Sen. George A. Smath-
ers, Florida Democrat.
The United States hopes to
stem in this way the flow of
dollars spent abroad by tourists.
The amendment covers situa-
tions overseas where local cur-
rencies piled up through Amer-
ican aid and sales of surplus
commodities are in excess of
American Government needs.
The measure would let the Un-
ited States collect dollars for
some of the so-called counter-
part funds.
Under the existing law, coun-
terpart funds can only be used
in the local country of origin.
Committee sources said the
countries affected would be Is-
rael, the United Arab Republic,
Burma, India, Indonesia, Paki-
stan, Poland and Yugoslavia. A
considerable amount of surplus
Israeli pounds was held by the
United States Government in
Israel, it was reported.
