Speaker. in the supplemental bill we did provide $100 million for this purpose but that was through HEW. There is no money in this bill for that purpose. The Cubans are not refugees under the terms of the Refugee Act of 1980 and are not eligible for assistance under the terms of that act. There is no money in the bill for this purpose and so the amendment either does nothing or tries to settle legislatively a serious question that ought to be settled in a legislative manner. For that reason I would hope the gentleman from Pennsylvania would not pursue the amendment.
