Mr. SMITH. The clerk will read the amendment. Mr. ROYCE. Let me just read the amendment. It is just a clarifying amendment, Mr. Chairman, and it says, as used in this section, refugee camp means anyplace in which people who left Vietnam, Cambodia or Laos are housed or held by a government or international organization, no matter how such place is designated by such government or organization. So I would just like to make that clarifying amendment if I could at this time, Mr. Chairman. Mr. SMITH. Is there any further comment on the amendment? I thank the gentleman for his amendment. I was consulted by the gentleman on his amendment and I think it makes a very important addition to the language in the bill and the underlying substitute. All those in favor of the amendment as offered by the gentleman from California say aye. All those opposed. The ayes appear to have it, and the amendment is agreed to. If not, we will designate Title XXII, the Staff Director will designate Title XXII. Mr. REES. Title XXII, Department of State authorities and activities. Mr. SMITH.

Mr. Chairman, I move the previous question on the bill and amendment thereto. Mr. SMITH. The previous question has been ordered. No further debate is in order. The question is on the amendment in the nature of a substitute as amended. All those if favor say aye. Aye. All those opposed. The question now occurs on the bill. The subcommittee will recess to garner the requisite number of members to report the bill to the full committee. We are recessed until 12 o'clock. [Recess.] Mr. SMITH.
