Mr. Speaker. further reserving the right to object. I certainly do not want to speak in derogation of the desire of the Senator from Pennsylvania or of the gentleman from Pennsylvania to expedite dealing with the problems of refugees. but this resolution. as I understand it. allows one Member of the other body. by special authority of both Houses of Congress. to add one person to his staff for a specific purpose. With respect to these matters regarding refugees. 130.000 of them roughly. coming into this country. there was a great amount of money appropriated for that purpose. I supported that bill. Certainly. however. if we are going to set a precedent like this. any sort of excuse can be used to add one or two or three or more members to congressional staffs.
