Lefever describes his financing plan with modesty:'Our detailed budget is realistic, but does not take into account the inflation that may occur before September 1983. The one place it could cut or reduce is item 7, the simultaneous interpreter services, if these services could be provided gratis by the U.S. government.'In other words, the only way to make a saving on a U.S.-subsidized project is to take money out of another U.S.-subsidized column.
