All that matters to the family is the pain of the child and the tears of his mother. All that matters to us. is that he was placed in harms way by our Government. acting under law. to wrench him from the safety of this Nation. The relief I propose is both very temporary and it is very small. It means a real human need. at almost no economic cost. with no violence to our immigration law and tradition. However. Mr. Chairman. those who would press the administrations policy in Central America. and those who would oppose it. can both do so with a clearer conscience and cleaner hands. if today we resolve the fate of those. totally in our hands and our responsibility. on the side of compassion and caution.
