The same type of list. I am not going to read it. is there for the Laotian and the Cambodian situation. We are not talking about just letting everybody in who is an economic refugee. With all due respect to the gentleman from Nebraska . that is not what this whole debate is about. What those of us who believe in the underlying bill and believe in the modest amendment that the gentleman from New Jersey is offering today want to see happen is that for at least a year. maybe two if it takes it. that we take a look at the boat people from Hong Kong. the Hmong who are over in Thailand. the others in the camps in Malaysia. and judge them and have them judged by the standards that were on that list in 1983 to 1989. so that we can be satisfied in our consciences as American people that we have indeed allowed those to come out who really should and not be sending those back that would be sent back in harms way.
