I am not jaded. The issue is not about racism or the past or the Holocaust. The issue is about 1994 and refugees to the United States. I say to my friend that the White House sets the figures on refugee numbers. Whatever they set. they know that will carry in the U.S. Senate. So we just sit and kind of twaddle our thumbs. Even Senator KENNEDY and I have sent letters to the Reagan White House and to the Bush White Hoube and I think to the Clinton White House saying: Your numbers do not fit anymore with the reality of life. The original normal flow of refugees was 50.000. and now this single amendment takes 50.000. It needs to be brought to the attention of the American people. They will not hear it today.
