President. this amendment is a real fallback as far as I am concerned. What it attempts to do is make two corrections in the Huddleston amendment and still maintain this notion of a temporary cap for 3 months that Senator HUDDLESTON thinks is important. so it concedes that point to him. But it says that. instead of using 650.000 as a figure and not even knowing whether we are there or not any more. we use as a figure the prospective figure of 100.000 additional immigrants and refugees between July 1 and the end of this fiscal year. a 3month period of time. So. instead of guessing at whether we are at 550.000 or 650.000. it simply says where we are now. plus 100.000. Therefore. it would let us accommodate the people from Indochina. let us accommodate the Soviet Jews.
