The law was originally approved by the Senate by a vote of 970 in 1989. and became law as part of the fiscal year 1990 Foreign Aid Appropriations Act. It was extended in the fiscal year 1991 Foreign Aid Appropriations Act. It sunsets on October 1. 1992. Mr. President. this provision has no impact on the number of refugees entering the United States annually. Those numbers are determined annually through a consultation process between the administration and the Congress. The provision simply facilitates refugee designation. I urge my colleagues to approve this provision as part of the Freedom Support Act.
