Mr. Chairman. we recognize the gentlemans special interest and expertise in refugee problems. I realize he has worked at this as hard as any individual Member of Congress. This bill lends itself to this amendment. Therefore. I am pleased to indicate the acceptance on this side. May I also add. by the way. if the gentleman will permit me. that I call to the attention of the House that in this bill we do provide for an increase in funds for refugee assistance. I am pleased that in their wisdom the Members of the House have not attempted to cut into that figure because. quite frankly. given the world situation. we are apt to be facing more rather than fewer refugee problems. Therefore. I commend the gentleman from California for his special leadership in this field.
