I would like to point out that the authorizations in the bill can be ratably reduced if appropriations are inadequate to fully fund them. Mr. Speaker. unless we take action soon. this situation will reach crisis proportions in some areas of the country. Unless the Federal Government recognizes its responsibility. there is little hope that these newest arrivals can be successfully integrated into our schools with a minimum of disruption and ill will. Unless we make a commitment now. there is little likelihood that these refugees will become productive members of society later. I urge you to join with me in passing this needed legislation.
