I understand that the first two hearings will take place on Monday and Tuesday of next week. and that Senator TUNNEY will be offering testimony at that time outlining the need for a veterans public service jobs program. and the substance of the proposal which we have made in this amendment. Accordingly. because we believe that the program should be fully evaluated by the relevant committees. and because the present schedule of the Labor and Public Welfare Committee will allow for expeditious consideration of our proposal. Senator TUNNEY and I have decided that we will not press this amendment to S. 1661. the authorization bill for refugee aid. It is our hope that the Senate will move quickly to institute such a program. as provided by the amendment. after consideration by the committees involved. For now. we will urge the Labor and Public Welfare Committee to give this matter its full attention.
