Speech #960256051

I do not think we should suddenly appropriate $100 million just because it sounds like a good idea. nor do I suggest to the gentleman that the State Department is the one to spend money on domestic assistance under the circumstances. They have not policed these programs in the past. These reasons would say to me that this is an awfully nice idea. It is awfully expensive. but if we are going to spend the money. we ought to wait until the administration comes up with some guidelines as to exactly what they are going to do. Now. those of us who are privileged to serve on the Immigration Committee. that subcommittee. have waited patiently for the administration to have a program. We waited patiently for the administration to stop the flow initially. Of course.
