Chairman. I think it is important to underscore at the very outset that what we are dealing with here is an authorizationnot an appropriationbill. This bill represents. if passed. a judgment by this House that there ought to be such a refugee program with the limitations and restrictions that are contained in the Migration and Refugee Assistance Act of 1962. with which this legislation. which is temporary in nature. corresponds. It refers to that 1962 legislation and carries with it the provisions of that legislation. The question of the dollar amount is. of course. a matter which is being dealt with by tho Committee on Appropriations and must in any event subsequently be confronted by this House in the course of making any appropriation in whatever amount is deemed necessary.
