Now as to the allocations of refugee admissions. This is interesting here. This is in this proposal. It says: Within the worldwide refugee admissions ceiling determined by the President. the President should allocate. And here is where we get into some pretty effective statutory languageAt least 28.000 admissions from East Asia. firstasylum camps. That is unnecessary. totally unnecessary because of what we just did several days ago. We have already given East Asia the lions share of refugee spots. 38.000 in fiscal year 198838.000. And then it goes on to say that we must have "at least 8.500 admissions for the Orderly Departure Program for each of the fiscal years 1988. 1989. and 1990." And yet the 38.000 includes the 8.500 for ODP. the Orderly Departure Program. Then we go on to allocation.
