Mr. President. I would not read that amendment that way. Perhaps we can adjust. but there is a time agreement. Let me say this to the Senator from Arkansas. The present procedure works. Let me express to him how that is. Mr. President. under the Refugee Actlet me swiftly give these figures. We had a proposed figure of 234.000. We had a ceiling then of that amount. We actually had admissions of 212.000. Then Congress became aware of where we were going with the misuse. The parole authority had gotten us into such poor condition that we just never quit.
