It will not get us into the dilemma of having created constraints for the remainder of the fiscal year that will make it impossible to respond to situations which I think almost every Member of the Senate would feel should be responded to. While the Senator from Kentucky seeks to introduce the concept of an overall limitation. which he feels responds to many of the concerns which he has evoked in the course of this discussion. we should not altogether preclude our ability to respond to the situation in the balance of the fiscal ygear. All of us are sensitive to the points he has raised: The economic circumstances of our own people. the need for jobs. the question of receiving refugees and helping them out when our own citizens contend the same support is not available to them. We are all sensitive to those concerns. But the effort ought to be to try in the end to arrive at a policy in a very measured and careful way. a policy which will command a consensus and will continue to maintain our very basic values.
