President. I urge the Senate to accept the amendment of the Senators from California . The purpose of the legislation is to try to bring our various refugee programs into some orderly fashion and procedure. to give a clear signal to the States and local communities about what they might. and might not. expect over the period of the next several years. I think many communities have done an absolutely extraordinary job in welcoming these refugees. I can remember very powerful testimony by Governor Ray of Iowa. When I was out in Iowa I had the opportunity of talking with some of those who were involved in the excellent refugee settlement program in that State. In fact. I want to note that my distinguished colleague on the Judiciary Committee. the Senator from Iowa.
