As a Senate colleague. I have seen him time and time again support the interests of the downtrodden and desperate. That is why I am particularly distressed at the criticism he has encountered when he sought to help another group witn little influence in this Chamber: Sephardic Jewish refugees. He may have been right. he may have been wrong in what he did. But I am disappointed with the way critics have distorted the issue. As Senator INOUYE himself pointed out to the Senate earlier this week. the assistance for North African refugees did not come in the dark of night. The amendment was offered in subcommittee. it was approved by the full Appropriations Committee. What is more. the House also agreed to it.
