Let me point out that this Congress already passed the Refugee Act which authorized and set forth procedures for the President to permit some 200.000plus refugees to come in. I do not know how the Senator voted on it. I voted for it because we had the boat people. We had the humanitarian problem. We knew what it was going to cost and we authorized the money. That is part of our problems today. I agree with the Senator from Arkansas. The United States just cannot be the depository for everyone who wants to come here. That is why this body. along with the House of Representatives. created the Select Commission and directed them to study the problem and to come forward with specific recommendations. and that is what the Commission is in the process of doing.
