I would consider the legislation passed in the Senate to be a more comprehensive piece of legislation than that which was passed by the House. There was one very significant disagreement. namely. should the time that a Cuban refugee has been in the United States count effectively as time for citizenship. or should the time start for application of citizenship as of the passage of the bill? The Senatepassed legislation provided that the period of time the refugee had been in the United States could be considered time eligible for citizenship. following the pattern and the precedents of the Hungarian refugee program. and a number of other refugee programs. We settled this by reaching a 21/2 year figure. which I think is a liberal figure. The House receded on that important point. which was the fundamental point of difference between the House and the Senate.
