I think that the specter of what we saw occurring across this Nation. in terms of the desperation by the States. especially in the present economic circumstance. gives rise to a great deal of concern on the part of a variety of States. some of whom have different and varying welfare and assistance programs. The quick action. fortunately. by my good friend and colleague. the gentleman from Washington. and the response. the positive response by the Appropriations Committee. of course. will make it possible to avoid that. We only hope that the administration and the Senate will be as positive in terms of their response to these much needed dollars. There are 25.000 refugees in Minnesota. Obviously. I know Floridas problems are severe. but we do not want to compound those in Minnesota by virtue of the Florida problem.
