Mr. President. I also rise in opposition to this amendment and state. as does my friend from Wyoming. that this amendment is the wrong forum. the wrong bill to discuss and to control refugees. We have a refugee bill. It has gone through committee in the House and it will be before us. I agree with my friend and colleague from Kentucky that perhaps some redefinition of refugees and their rights and privileges in this country is proper. But this is not the bill to do it. nor is this the bill to limit the number that comes to this country. We have talked. and I have heard other talks here. about the rich tradition that we have. and indeed it is. And nowhere is it better exemplified than in Russia and in Eastern Europe where they must build walls to keep their people in while. unfortunately. we must pass laws to restrict the number of people who come to this country. It was mentioned here on the floor during the course of this debate that there are hard choices here425.000 people were going to be admitted into this country other than the refugees. I do not consider that a hard choice. Mr.
