All of us on the subcommittee agree that he is most extraordinarily adept in this area. But there are two distinct groups. and they must be treated separately. They should not be competing with each other for admission to the United States. Refugee admissions are now controlled by the Refugee Act of 1980. The President requests and justifies refugee numbers for the next fiscal year. He justifies that proposal through a consultation with the Judiciary Committees. receiving a recommendation from Congress and setting the final figures. Last year this administration proposed 173.000 admissions. and we on the committee. the manager of the bill on the opposite side. and myself. revised the limit downward.
