Personally. I do not buy this business of kowtowing to Titos sensitivities. The Yugoslavs are the largest group of nonUNHCR refugees in Europe. We should not bypass them because of their lack of UNHCR status. For reasons of equity. humanitarianism. and international understanding. my bill contains a clause which makes token provision for nonUNHCR refugeesnot only for the Yugoslavs. but for various national categories like the Italian refugees from Tunisia. other Europeans uprooted and forced out of their countries by the rising tide of AsianAfrican nationalism. family reunion cases involving Chinese refugees in Hong Kong. and so forth. The numbers involved in this category under my bill would not be very greatall told 2.000 each year for 2 years. But I attach a lot of importance to the principle of not limiting ourselves rigidly to the High Commissioners definition of a refugee.
