Speaker. what I am saying is that the subcommittee believes it is on track through the process of consultations under the 1980 act to handle all matters within that act coherently rather than separately by senseofCongress resolutions and by separate legislation. While today we have a special situation. I would ask the House to have caution about proceeding in this way in the future. simply because it diminishes our ability to coherently handle the refugee problem. If we deal with refugees a little bit. a little bit. a little bit. we never see the full nature of the problem. Accordingly. this resolution today could have the effectand I hope it will not. and I think it shall notof putting a roadblock in the path of the subcommittee in working within the 1980 act. The gentleman from New Jersey. our distinguished chairman. has. in the process of consultations. asked for State Department and Justice Department assistance in defining what a refugee is under the 1980 act. We are looking for uniformity. We are looking for coherence.
