We ought to decide whether we are doing what is in the ultimate best interests of the United States on the merit of the question. not on the side issues that are being introduced. Now. the gentleman may not have intended that. and I am sure he does not. but this has been introduced. and this is one reason why I fault his amendment. I will yield to the gentleman. or perhaps the gentleman from Massachusetts will yield to him. as soon as I say this: If this is not what is intended by the gentlemans amendment. then I think he really ought to withdraw it and draft it in a way that would call upon the President to do a refugee analysis. not only as a result of any subversion that is started by Cuba or Nicaragua. but any refugee problems that might come to this country on the basis of a fullscale regional war that could explode and escalate from our current covert war in Nicaragua. If he is willing to do that. than I think we might have a fair amendment. But I resent those arguments. and I hope my colleagues do. as well.
