Mr. Chairman. the Dreier amendment is dressed in a cloak of fairness. but it is not fair. The Dreier amendment talks about standardizing this targeted assistance for refugees. and yet it excepts. there is an exception for the aid that California gets for Laotian and Cambodian refugees. which by the way. I think should remain. We are not trying. and I do not think we should try to except out that aid. so why. then. except out the aid that south Florida gets for the refugees from the Caribbean? It is not fair. and it is really an artificial cloak. Let us defeat It.
