Mr. President. these are two amendments which I have offered to be considered en bloc. The first relates to the definition of "orphan" for the purposes of the Immigration Act. This language is the same language which has been included in the legal immigration bill which passed the Senate. This language will facilitate the adoption by U.S. couples of orphans in foreign countries. The second amendment provides funding for a contingency program which the Senate and the House passed several years ago and which is to be available in the event of an emergency relative to refugees. It is legislation that has already been passed by the Congress and is in the law. This will provide funding.
