I think there are many more deserving aspects of law that are worthy of sunsetting than this particular provision. However. I have indicated to the Senator from Kentucky that the Select Commission on Immigration and Refugee Policy will be renorting to the Senate within 2 years. They will be making general recommendations in terms of immigration as well as refugee nolicy. and this perhaps gives some additional supuort and legitimacy to their efforts. at least so far as I am concerned. Although mu own sense is that we really are not achieving a great deal by sunsetting just the 50.000 normal flow ceiling in the bill. Actually. the other provisions that regularize the process will remain intact. The equal treatment of refugees from different narts of the world will remain intact. Those aspects are not being altered or changed by the amendment of the Senator from Kentucky. It is just the normal flow figure.
