Speech #980187888

Next week we are going to take up this amendment. the FascellMoakly amendment. which is in effect the unilateral disarmament amendment for Central America. It does just about everything bad you could do to fighting for freedom and trying to protect freedom in Central America. It fits precisely the world view that thinks the United States is the same as the Soviet Union. that thinks that somehow there is never a good reason to defend freedom. precisely the attitudes the Wall Street Journal talked about today in its editoral entitled "Terrorism in the West." Furthermore. one of the major consequences of the FascellMoakly amendment is going to be a dramatic increase in the number of refugees who come to America. But this has already been provided for. H.R. 4447. House of Representatives bill No. 4447. "to provide for the temporary suspension of deportation for certain aliens who are nationals of El Salvador and to provide for Presidential and congressional review of conditions in El Salvador and for other purposes." introduced back on November 19. 1983. What does this bill do? I yield to the gentleman.
