Certainly the gentlewoman from NeYork deserves a commendation for help ing to shape a bill in a very elusive. difficult area. but. nevertheless. I do not support this bill. because there are many serious problems that we have not resolved and I think they are resolvable. The definition of refugees is one that is very broad. I think that any reading of it would indicate some 14 million eligibles. I do not know what in this bill will adiust priority to Soviet refugees over Vietnamese refugees or over African refugees. We could have an inundation of refugees and the sorting out of priorities will have to be done by some standards. None are provided. If the gentleman from California thinks we have had language difficulties. I suggest the gentleman has seen nothing yet. when the refugees come in who are entitled to under this bill.
