Chairman MORRISON deserves special praise for his sensitive and sensible work. Hopefully. our hard work and effort will culminate in the passage of legislation that will return the INS to the operating presumption for the last 8 years: a Soviet Jew. by the fact that he/she lived in the Soviet Union has suffered from political persecution. We now call on President Bush to show his "kinder. gentler nature." support this legislation. and allow these refugees to emigrate. This bill also legislates this same status to refugees from Vietnam. Laos. or Cambodia because we have also made a significant special commitment to these people as well. through our foreign policys recognition of their persecution in their homeland. To those who oppose this legislation saying we are no longer making these individuals meet the well founded fear of persecution test.
