First. I would like to thank the distinguished Senator from Kentucky. Senator HUDDLESTON. for his continued interest in the immigration problems which this country faces. He has been extraordinarily attentive and extremely helpful in assisting us in focusing on these problems and in finding solutions for them. Although we do not agree fully on the problems associated with the refugee program or the solutions to these problems. I do agree that enough serious questions have been raised about the program that it should be thoroughly reviewed. I plan to have hearings next year. in addition to a midyear consultation with the appropriate Cabinet officers. to focus on such issues as the interpretation of the definition of "refugee." the workability of the consultation process and the function of the voluntary agencies in resettling refugees. Other areas could be reviewed and additional hearings could be held. I will be working with other Members of Congress. including the distinguished Senator from Kentucky and the ranking minority member of the subcommittee.
