Mr. Speaker. a U.S. district court has directed the administration to stop an illegal impoundment of $11.5 million in targeted assistance funds and to release this money. I urge OMB to comply with the law and to give this money to the States and localities that await it. The people of Florida and other States bear a disproportionate share of the refugee adjustment burden. These fundsincluding the $3 million due to Floridaare really a repayment for State and local money being spent on a national problem. Congress approved this money to help the States. GAO indicated that the impoundment was illegal.
