Mr. President. I have tried to work out a compromise position with the Senator. I have recommended cuts that would not reduce funding for the refugee program. these cuts add up to about $10 million. and I have of course indicated my willingness to bear the Senators concern in mind during conference with the House. Unfortunately. the Senator from Mississippi and the cosponsors of this measure have decided they want a vote on the full $30 million. I think that is very unfortunate. It makes it very difficult for the Senate in conference on many other issues that the Senate is interested in. but that was the decision of the cosponsors of this amendment.
