Chairman. In my judgment. I hope we never reach such a problem. If we do. if the consultation process is ever abused. then I would have to say we should. at that time. consider the provision in the bill. At the present time. what we are doing is stratifying the system. We are taking the refugee number. we are setting it in granite. We cannot raise it. We cannot lower it unless we actually have literally an act of Congress. and signed by the President. I think that is too much rigidity that is unnecessary at this time and. therefore. that is why I am supporting this amendment to keep the consultation process. because I think it has worked as it Is supposed to have worked in the years past.
