Mr. Chairman. If the gentleman would yield back for a moment. actually the gentleman will be happy to know that if this bill before him could ever be signed into law there is a refugee program created with Haiti for the first time in history. The gentleman from Kentucky has always felt that was very much of a blind spot in our refugee law. that we had 3.000 numbers for Cuba and none for Haiti. So now in our bill we have 2.000 numbers for visas. as a result I think of the gentlemans bill which was introduced last autumn. There will be refugee processing beginning in Port au Prince in short order.
