Mr. Chairman. just to reinforce what was said by the gentleman from Minnesota a moment ago. this grandfather clause will not in any way affect those new refugees now coming in. It goes to the last page of the bill which speaks to cutting off services. not the definition or defining the period of time in which they are there for 4 years. All it says is that if they fall under that classification. that cutoff is not operative until 1981. so it affects those people who have been here since 1975. 1976. the ones who came from the fall of Saigon and so forth.
