Let me just say two last things. In light of our great experience with communism in Angloa. we are now on page 5 imposing. in effect. the Clark amendment for Central America to stop freedom fighters anywhere in Central America from getting our kind of help from us. On page 6. we talk about refugees. I Just want to make two final comments. First. it is nice for the people. who. in the past having undermined freedom. saw as a consequence of their votes to cut off aid to freedom boat people. refugees from Afghanistan. refugees from Vietnam. refugees from Cuba. to now say. "Well. who do we not in advance recognize there are going to be lots of refugees?" There are only two things wrong with your acceptance of refugees. One is you do not admit honestly in BarnesHamilton what will really happen which is the refugees are going to come to America. and they are going to cost a lot more than $10 million. Second. in what I think is the most unbelievable statement I have seen recently. you in effect say you despise America and the American Government so much you would rather give the money to the United Nations Relief Commissioner than have the American Government handle it. It is the most incredible proposal I have seen in a long time. and as I said earlier.
