Two people complained of fevers and two others complained of ulcers. Now. I tell you all of that because as this debate was emerging last week. our State Department sent a new letter regarding this same situation at which they said. "Although the six were taken to Suan Phlu. they were still considered refugees by the Thai Government and UNHCR. They were well treated and their welfare was monitored by the UNHCR." I do not enjoy calling people like our State Department or the UNHCR liars. but I have to tell my colleagues when we are talking about truth. when we are talking about justice. when we are talking about peoples lives. both of these agencies are misrepresenting the truth. I do not doubt for 1 second that what the gentleman from Nebraska and the gentleman from Wisconsin are suggesting is that there is some room for some problems that need to be resolved.
