Mr. Speaker. H.R. 6755. the refugee assistance authorization. which this rule would make in order for consideration. is nearly identical to the original administration bill which I was privileged to cosponsor. This resolution is an open rule with 2 hours of general debate. and it waives the 3day rule. If ever there was a need for an emergency waiver of the 3day rule. this is it. Available funds for transporting and processing these 115.000 refugees have been exhausted and a tremendous bottleneck has been created on and around Guam as well as in the relocation centers in the United States. It is imperative that this Congress move today on this authorization so that these refugees can be moved tomorrow into the mainstreem of American life. Mr. Sneaker.
