Chairman. I make the point of order that the amendment is not germane. This bill deals with a particular class of people: refugees from Indochina. that is. Cambodia and Vietnam. The subject matter of the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from New York has to do with amnesty. a matter which is within the jurisdiction of the subcommittee chaired by the gentleman from Wisconsin . and is being separately considered by that subcommittee. actively considered. This bill will cover those aliens. refugees. who have been paroled into the United States under section 212(d) (5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. In addition. the term "refugee." as defined in the bill and as that term is interpreted under international law and under section 203(a) (7) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. does not include U.S. citizens. and the bill was not intended to cover that category or class of people.
