I want to thank the gentleman very much. I want to say that the gentleman and I did work to try to retain greater authority in the Congress with respect to establishing policy. and we were persuaded. at least the House membership was persuaded. that if we would repose this flexible authority in the President. that we could trust the President to exercise that authority responsibly. and I think it is another example of "Trust me" philosophy that really does not work. I think it is a good lesson for the Congress itself that we should not trust the President with regard to a broad sweep of authority. but we should assume responsibility ourselves for the fixing of policy and refugee policy in the future. as we should have done in this case.
