I urge my colleagues to agree to this conference report without delay. Madam President. I will have more to say tomorrow about the pending amendment by the Senator from Texas. who as I understand. would exempt from the coverage of the Food Stamp Program. refugees and asylees who come to this country after. I think it is August of 1996. if I am not mistaken. I think that would just be the wrong step to take. first of all. for a compassionate and caring society. and for those of us who care about asylees and refugees. I think that covers both political parties. and certainly covers all of the religious institutions in America. I know I received letters fromI know Cardinal OConnor in New York. from many members of the Jewish faith. other Christian faiths who have written to us asking us to please make this fix in food stamps to cover these very vulnerable people who are in our society.
