Speech #1020027706

Mr. Speaker. I rise in strong support of the Emergency Supplement Iraqi Refugee Assistance Act of 1991. and commend Chairman FASCELL and Subcommittee Chairman HOWARD BERMAN for the appropriate speed with which this bill has been moved to the floor. The horror of the human suffering on the IraqiTurkish border demands immediate and effective action. It Is tragic that the President did not take earlier action In an attempt to prevent this catastrophe. The assistance we approve today will not help the thousands who were killed by Saddam Husseins helicopter gunships. or who died of starvation and exposure in a desperate attempt to flee the genocidal policies of the Iraqi dictator.
