Mr. Fascell. there are two separate arrangements under the Refugee Act. one for refugeesproperly speaking. our program is for moving people from overseas. Thats the major issue of numbers we are talking about now: the 231.700 refugee admissions we are talking about for all of fiscal year 1981. There is a separate section. 208. of the Refugee Act. that provides an asylum procedure for people who get here on their own in some fashion and then claim a right to stay and not be sent back because of a wellfounded fear of persecution. Thats a casebycase determination. Theres not a ceiling on the number of people who can get asylum.
