Mr. Chairman. lult m rolain my time and ask the gentlenan to point to some figures that I believe lie has. and these are lhe refusal rates tabulated by the Department of State: and lie will see in fiscal ynar 199. which ts what I am looking t. Ila Oreece visa refusal rate was 2.18. In fiscal year 1997. it was 2.81. Now. It seems to me that 2.1 is greator than 2.4l. and if that is the case. tLhen the visa refusal rates wore worse In 1997 than 1996. And I would stand by my l.atelent. .ile record Is getting worse for Greece. not. helLer.
