Any procedures adopted pursuant to this amendment must be in strict compliance with title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. which requires that all federally funded services be made available on a nondiscriminatory basis. We intend. with this amendment. not to deny emergency assistance to anyone who needs food. water. shelter. medical assistance. or other basic needs. The amendment does. however. place an immigration restriclion for certain longterm services. consistent with other immigration restrictions which are already in the law. Mr. Speaker. the people of the United States have a proud history of opening up our hearts to the victims of disasters everywhere.
