Speech #970225292

Mr. President. may I earnestly suggest to the sponsor that I know what he is trying to accomplish with regard to refugee limitation. The amendment was unclear. I would like to have the opportunity and pledge him that I shall give him the opportunity to review this with the subcommittee and the staff. Our first knowledge of this amendment was this morning. We have already now modified it once. I deeply feel that it has some flaws in it that we will regret if we should accept it. I must respectfully advise the sponsor that I will move to table the amendment and the modification. whatever form it may take. and assure the Senator from Arkansas that I will hold a hearing on that if he wishes. or the staffs will meet. but with this limited time I cannot accommodate the amendment in its present form.
