Homeland Security. and the State Department. We have had speakers on floor talk aboutrightfully sothis huge refugee crisis we are seeing all through the Middle East because of the instability in Iraq and Syria. Those refugeeswhen we try to help them. that help is typically sent through the State Department. through USAID. through those agencies. and they are still within the sequester caps. As a result. I was very pleased to offer both in the committee and on the floor an amendment that would essentially say: Lets stop for a second.
