Mr. President. I wonder. where are those Senators today? As for the humanitarian assistance that was provided to Iraqi refugees. that emergency supplemental bill passed the Senate by voice vote. Again I ask. where are those voices today? President Clinton has asked Congress to use the same emergency provisions that were used to provide assistance to people living in foreign lands 2 years ago to now pass legislation that will provide assistance to people living in the United States. Yet. pending before the Senate is an amendment that would strike the emergency designation contained in this bill. and without which this supplemental appropriation bill would fall.
