They fled to this country for refuge. They played by our rules. In the time that theyve been here. theyve built homes. paid taxes. had families in our country. These individuals are owed nothing less than treatment equal to that already provided to the Eastern European and Central European refugees residing in our Nation. I regret that the Conferees decided at the last moment to strip the Haitian refugee relief provision from the TreasuryPostal Appropriations bill. but I would like to urge Senators LOTT and DASCHLE to consider adding this provision to any omnibus appropriations measures that may be considered in the upcoming days.e
