Mr. Speaker. the Judiciary Committee has now completed its consideration of H.R. 5879. the Refugee Assistance Amendments of 1982. During the debate and mark up of this legislation. I brought up several questions regarding the treatment of Haitian and Salvadoran refugees. and the political and racial factors that seem to lie behind the INS policies on refugees. It is my judgment. and that of others on the committee. that without clarification of the legislative intent of this bill. the INS will continue to perpetuate unjust policies toward Haitian and other refugees. For this reason. I have submitted dissenting views to the full committee report. and I have announced my intention to oppose this bill when it comes before the House.
