I think certainly it is in the right direction when It restores to the Congress some reasonable way to exert its own authority and its own opinion as to what the refugee level ought to be. As a practical thing. It does have loopholes. and I do not know that as an operative piece of legislation it would put us into any better situation than we are in now. We had the Cuban boat lift. for instance. There was no consultation of that with Congress or anybody else. There was no law that covered that. The President at that time just said. "We welcome you with open arms.
