It is a modest beginning toward carrying out our responsibilityand we bear some real responsibility as well as obligationfor some of these folks. It is a very small step. I wish to say Senator KENNEDY has been relentless on this refugee issue. It was off the radar. Millions of people displaced inside Iraq. 2 million people outside Iraq who are refugees. 4 million Iraqis left their homes. half to other places in Iraq. half. roughly. to other countries in the region. These groups are so vulnerable. We must take action on it. We did last night. I thank and commend Senator KENNEDY and Senator BROWNBACK. who has been working with me particularly on these religious refugees. these minorities. and. of course. Senator WARNER and the Republicans who worked to put this package together last nightall are entitled to our thanks but mainly Senator KENNEDY.
