President. without trying to be facetious. I have been a Member of the Senate for a little more than 32 years. and I have bought some pigs in sacks before. About a year ago I vigorously opposed a certain refugee bill. Certain persons from the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue stated before the Committee on the Judiciary that they would never come before the Congress in order to have the law amended or changed. Suffice it to say that hearings are now being held because of attempts to change material portions of the refugee law which was enacted. I believe in a Government of laws. and not of men. There is no assurance in the mind of the junior Senator from Idaho that the representations being made will be carried out. or that the program will be allowed to develop in accordance with the views of or the assurances given to the committee.
