Mr. President. we have alerted the White House. we have alerted the National Security Council. we have alerted the Department of State. we have discussed it with the Department of Defense. and in the initial reactions of the people with whom we have discussed this proposal. we have found no objections. I say further that I have checked this with the chairman of the Committee on Appropriations. the ranking minority member of the Committee on Appropriations. the chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations and the ranking minority member. the chairman of the Senate Committee on Armed Services and the ranking minority member. I have checked it with the leadership of the Senate. and we have not found objections. I think it does provide us with the interim resources necessary to care for these refugees until Congress can fully debate and discuss the question as to the final and more permanent disposition of this problem.
