The Senator is correct. The amendment brings the level of funding for the Cuban and Haitian refugees assistance up to the level of the Presidents budget request. plus the enacted supplemental for education funding. This program remains within the Labor and Human Resources Committees jurisdiction. and they will still meet their reconciliation instruction after this is taken into account. The amendment also corrects for a computer error that assigned the general refugee assistance account. covering the Indochinese and other refugees. to the Labor and Human Resources Committee. That program is under the jurisdiction of the Judiciary Committee and. through this amendment. will cut that program to the level of the Presidents budget request. We will certainly not penalize the Labor and Human Resources Committee for that computer error.
