I will note. briefly. that the bill modifies the antiterrorism laws provisions on summary exclusion. in order to better assure that those who are bona fide asylees are not erroneously compelled to leave this country. On a related point. the Clinton administration has recently announced its plans to cut refugee admissions next year to 78.000. I oppose this cut. In fiscal year 1995. the level was 110.000. Last year. the level of refugee admissions was set at 90.000. I believe we should set the same level of 90.000 refugee admissions for next year. A further cut is unwarranted. especially with the renewed steps against alien immigration embodied in the bill. Moreover. I think it sends the wrong signal to the world.
