Speaker. I yield myself such time as I may consume to add that the gentleman from New York has raised some very important broader geopolitical questions surrounding this issue. and there are important questions. The use of our military for humanitarian purposes. the philosophical underpinnings of our refugee policy. and the extent to which that has worked in the past. the very important question of whether or not our goals here can be met with Saddam still in power. but we cannot let any of those broader questions stop the United States or cause the United States to get caught up in a failure to act about what we know to be the desperate need that exists now. This bill provides the framework for this Congress helping the administration to meet that need. I think it is very important that we do so.
