Mr. President. this amendment does not affect the Presidents ability to determine what parts of the world receive refugee visas. If 600.000 persons were on exit visas from the Soviet Union. we will have a lot of consultation in the House and Senate Judiciary Committees. and that is what the refugee act authorizes us to do. It will be a serious problem. But we have no presumption here of taking a certain group or certain ethnic group. That is what we are trying to avoid. And this does it. It Just provides for a lower burden of proof for Soviets and Vietnamese.
