Mr. Speaker. this is the wrong bill. If what we seek to do is aid refugees the proper bill belongs in the Committee on the Judiciary because we are talking about refugees who are subject to the immigrations laws. The bill that Congressman FISH and I are sponsoring would provide. as we indicate on page April 24: First. for assistance to refugees. second. for assistance to State and local authorities. and third. for transportation and resettlement of refugees. and fourth. for employment and retraining programs for refugees. This is what we should be doing. This is what we can do under the bill we have submitted known as the Migration and Refugee Assistance Act of 1975. For that reason. this conference report should not be approved.
