I just urge my colleagues that if we are really going to do these things. really make quotas in one area of the world. where do you draw the line when somebody else in another part of the world says. "I saw what you did in Southeast Asia. You set some numbers. We want that here." We tried to recognize the flow in Africa. which is in such terrible shape. We tried to recognize the new glasnost with the Soviet Union. with new numbers there. We have to be flexible to keep those numbers loose so that we can take. I hope. 5.000 Soviet Jews and other people from the Soviet Union. That is why we must work within the Refugee Act and that is why we have the consultation process of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees.
