SA 2945. Mr. THUNE submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by
him to the bill H.R. 4038, to require that supplemental certifications
and background investigations be completed prior to the admission of
certain aliens as refugees, and for other purposes; which was ordered
to lie on the table; as follows:

At the appropriate place, insert the following:

SEC. __. REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT.

(a) In General.--The governor of each State shall be
permitted to advise the Secretary of State, on a weekly
basis, of the willingness of such State to accept the
resettlement of a refugee in such State.

resettles a refugee in that State.
