iii, [1], 114, [2] pages. Illustrations. The hearing focused on the major current challenges facing U.S. refugee protection and resettlement policy and programs. This includes levels of funding, implementation of procedures to waive application of ''material support'' grounds for inadmissibility, application for the definition of ''membership in a terrorist organization,'' current status and implementation of the ''wet foot/dry foot'' policy, and status of implementation of the refugee provisions of the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998. The Subcommittee will consider what the United States has done in the past to address these issues and what it intends to do in the coming year. The Chairman stated that his first priority must be to help create a sense of security so that refugees and Internally Displaced Persons can return to their homes and rebuild. He felt that we need to give more humanitarian assistance to those who are suffering.
