I respect the Chairman. I admire his sincerity and tenacity on this issue. As I noted a moment ago. his efforts go back 7 years. But the point must also be made that other efforts go back more than 10 yearsall the way back to the Carter administrationto impose some kind of rational process on handling immigration and refugee cases. I must question whether congressionally mandated exemptions on a very complicated process will actually serve the purposes we all seek. So. Mr. Speaker. I am going to reserve my decision on the bill. but I commend Chairman MOAKLEY on a job well done.
