The task of rehabilitation must not be considered as the beginning of reconstruction-it is coterminous with relief. No new construction or reconstruction work is contemplated, but only rehabili- tation as defined in the preamble of the Agreement. Problems, such as unemployment, are important, but not determining factors. They are consequences and, at the same time, motives of action. The Administration cannot be called upon to help restore continuous employment in the world." SEC. 4. In expressing its approval of this joint resolution, it is the recommendation of Congress that insofar as funds and facilities permit, any area (except within enemy territory and while occupied by the enemy) important to the military operations of the Umted Nations which is stricken by famine or disease may be included in 127 New obligations.
