The delay is a victory for sup

ground that the Senate should

another week.

The bill is designed to 1iberaliZe
quotas and conditions under which
war refugees may come to the

no agreement to vote in sight. both
factions agreed late yesterday to
turn to other legislation for the

decision early in April.
