I heard a great deal about the Jordan Commission. The fact of the matter. on the Jordan Commission numbers it is recognized it would be 400.000 that would come here with families. They had another 150.000 in backlog which would be added on to that. They did not even include refugees. which they cited would be 50.000. You add all of those up and you are talking about 400.000 for family. 100.000 in employment. 150.000 in backlog. and 50.000 in refugees. That comes to between 700.000 to 750.000. All of these figures are virtually in the ballpark. The point my friend from Arizona left out is that one of the central provisions of the Jordan Commission was to do something about the backlogs of spouses and children.
