Mr. President. I wonder where they are today. As to the humanitarian assistance provided for Iraqi refugees. that emergency supplemental bill passed the Senate by a voice vote. 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 amendmentnot pending before the Senatebut the Republican leader has an amendment at the desk. that would strike over twothirds of the assistance that the President is seeking to help stimulate our economy and put Americans back to work.
