Mr. President. I hope the Committee on the Judiciary will remain as a part of the amendment. At the present time. the Judiciary Committee has unanimously requested from the Secretary of State daybyday briefings on this evacuation program. because it has the jurisdiction for the parole authority under the Immigration Act. Section 212(d) (5) provides the parole authority by which these individuals will come to the United States. Then there will have to be an adjustment of status legislation to permit them to remain here. The Judiciary Committee. quite clearly. will have a continuing. ongoing interest in this matter. At the present time. the members of the Committee on the Judiciary are being briefed on the evacuations. and they have a clear jurisdictional interest.
