I appreciate what the gentleman has said. We have before the House today a series of amendments to the Refugee Act which we think will obviate the program offered by the gentleman from Illinois. because now the strategy will involve much more connection between the Federal Government. State and local governmental agencies. between the voluntary resettlement agencies and all the levels of government. It will involve much more attention to job training. Our bill. of course. recommends specific sums of money for job training. specific sums of money for health screening. all the things that the current refugee program lacks. our amendments provide for. Of course. we believe firmly that if the House adopts this bill. the program of "mainstreaming" refugees into American society will be assisted greatly. I yield to the gentleman from Illinois. I appreciate the assurance of the chairman the gentleman from Kentucky. regarding the direction of refugee orientation and training and intend to follow carefully the results of this legislation.
