Mr. Sneaker. in the gentleman from Illinois original request for this special order. he discussed the administrat ons chameleon "closeddoor. then opendoor" policy toward Cuban refugees. The uncertainty and confusion in dealing with the Cuban exodus is only a further examole of the chaos which has characterized our refugee policy generally. While I do not condone the actions of Cuban nationals at Fort Chaffee. Ark.. I believe that we must recognize that many of the problems at Fort Chaffee. including a recent suicide. are a direct result of the administrations ineotness in handling this issue. For example. the question of the legality of holding people without any bond proceedings being established and followed and the issue of unaccompanied minor children are problems that have yet to surface.
