Speech #970248307

I know that the distinguished chairman has never pulled his punches in any of the many hearings he has conducted on immigration and refugee issues. However. I know from personal experience that we in Congress often spend too much time talking to the socalled policymakers and not enough time talking to those who must carry out the policy in the field. From past experience we know that dedicated officials in the field have prevented us from carrying out policies in refugee resettlement which were at times contrary to the law. I would urge the distinguished chairman to seek the benefit of their experience in these hearings. For example.
