I move to strike the requisite number of words. Mr. Chairman. yesterday. in the course of general debate. I emphasized the need for an authorization that extended beyond a single year. This was another amendment proposed by the administration that will not be offered today. The original version of H.R. 5879the administrations billfollowed the pattern of the Refugee Act of 1980 by including a 3year authorization. Throughout our subcommittees 2 days of hearings on this reauthorization legislation. no witnesses questioned or challenged the 3year authorization period the administration was seeking. The 1year provision. in H.R. 5879 as reported. represents a sharp break with precedent.
