While I will not object to this procedure. I think it ought to be noted to the House that this is an extraordinary situation and we all recognize it to be that. However. the Subcommittee on Immigration. Refugees. and International Law. which I am privileged to chair. recognizes its responsibilities and is prepared to shoulder them. Mr. Speaker. I would ask our distinguished chairman. the gentleman from New Jersey. does this procedure today set a precedent in future matters involving the subject of refugees or immigration? Is it the gentlemans understanding that we still have full jurisdiction over all subject matter that we normally would have?
