Speech #960102291

We bring you an excellent conference report. Mr. Speaker. and it is urgently needed because it authorizes the fiscal year 1979 supplemental authorization for migration and refugee assistance. I want to thank the minority members who made it possible to clear this conference report for consideration today. with the possibility that it might be acted on in the other body. As the Speaker knows. the fiscal year 1979 appropriations bill has already been enacted. Without action on this conference report which authorizes the urgently needed funds for refugee assistance. money cannot be spent. The voluntary agencies which have been administering these programs have gone out and borrowed money on their own account and have stretched to the limit their budgets in order to deal with the problem of migration and refugee assistance in fiscal year 1979. Therefore. these funds are desperately needed. I commend my colleagues for agreeing that this conference report might be brought up in this manner so that it could be acted on promptly.
