To keep upping the ante from a few hundred dollars to thousands of dollars. I have gotten names of people here that I will not put in the RECORD. because we have a defense mechanism in this well where we can name people. and I am not prepared to do it outside of this Chamber so I will not use their names. But they are colonels. higher ranking men. hired by the United Nations refugee people to operate in this screening process. Some of these highranking men will make families in the camps put together their money and fly a leader all the way down to the capital of Indonesia. to then be told that half his family will get refugee status but the other half. generally including wives and daughters. will have to submit to more bribes if not to this form of coercive rape. I think it is terrible that screening officials have charged as low as $400 U.S. dollars. demanding U.S. currency. up to $4.000 and there have been substantiated cases as high as $10.000 or $12.000. I have been to Southeast Asia eight times while the war for freedom was going on. twice to Hanoi as a Congressman and several times to go back to those camps.
