Chairman. I want to thank the gentleman from California for his very vigorous opposition to this amendment. I think it is most important If we are going to live up to the commitment we made to the refugee situation in the past. and not just Soviet Jews. but around the world. that we do so. If there is one lesson we have learned I think from the Holocaust. it was that this country ought to stand up to these situations. ought to be prepared to deal with them. and. the gentleman is certainly right. that this bill does deal with them. Now to cut the funding in this bill to deal with them would be a tragic mistake.
