So when we went to conference we were unable to secure additional funding necessary to address the increased admissions level. I also want to underline Senator WILSONS statement that the administrations budget request for these programs underestimates the domestic need associated with its admissions request. For instance. the administration raised the ceiling on refugee admissions after we had already completed our markup. Unfortunately. HHS has not come forward to request supplemental funds despite our urging them to do so last year. This is placing great strain on many States in fiscal year 1990. including my home State of Iowa. and I intend to make sure the administration takes whatever actions are necessary to maintain all ongoing State refugee program operations. We are concerned that these programs must be maintained. and we will work to address these inequities within our 302(b) allocation for fiscal year 1991. Although our 302(b) allocation has not yet been determined. there will inevitably be intense competition for scarce resources among many worthwhile social programs under the Jurisdiction of the Labor.
