H.R. 2022 is a small legislative package that contains some potentially unpleasant surprises for my colleagues. Proponents of this measure feel the same sense of compassion and commitment to Soviet Jews. Pentecostals. and Indochinese that we all share. If the issue before the House today were simply the strength of this institutions commitment to Soviet Jews. for example. I would be happy to support this measure. But that is not the issue. Likewise. if the issue before the House today were simply whether to facilitate the processing of administrative backlogs of refugee applications. I would not be opposed. But that is not the issue.
