Chairman. what I believe is necessary in the calm atmosphere I detect this afternoon is for us to philosophize on some of the items in the bill that I think deserve a little extra scrutiny. May I point out that there are certain humanitarian programs such as the gentleman from California alluded to. This does not mean because we are interested in the support of refugees the only vehicle for it is this bill. I would suggest to the Members that we could do an awful lot for refugees in Pakistan and other parts of the world by special legislation. There are other vehicles that could have been used. But I do feel that it would be a fair criticism of the committee action to point out that there is at least an inconsistency in the committees approach in this particular legislation.
