In effect this guarantees that Congress will come back to this issue in 3 years and reevaluate its actions at that time. In so doing we are assured that this controversial change will not be firmly implanted forever in statutory law. Also. it would assure that the select commission can carry out its mission of fully evaluating refugee policy with the knowledge that its recommendations will be seriously considered within 3 years. The most important aspect of this "sunset" provision is that it dramatizes the fact that the increased quota is highly controversial and that both sides recognize that fact. Hopefully. this action will focus more public attention on this provision in the bill and bring about an eventual final settlement of the issue.
