Session #96 · 1979–81

Speech #960322715

I would urge the administration to strongly consider including these groups. as they have promised with the Haitians. who were unknown to INS prior to the policy statement on June 20. 1980. in the CubanHaitian entrant program. I further urge my colleagues to support this legislation. The temporary relief that this bill provides to impacted States and localities is critical. I am hopeful that the Congress will grant refugee status to these entrants. by passage of my bill H.R. 8047 and similar legislation introduced by Senator KENNEDY of Massachusetts. as the most expeditious and honest response to this crisis situation.
