<p>Dear
Mr. Hollweg,
</p>
<p></p><div class="Section1">
<p style="margin-left:0pt;margin-right:0pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:14pt;"><span>Thank
you
for
your
recent
message
to
my
office
regarding
refugee
resettlement.&nbsp;
</span><span>&nbsp;
</span><span>I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
hear
from
you
on
this
matter.
</span>
</p>
<p style="margin-left:0pt;margin-right:0pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:14pt;"><span>In
the
wake
of
the
Paris
terrorist
attacks,
I
had
conversations
with
FBI
Director
Jim
Comey
and
DHS
Secretary
Jeh
Johnson.&nbsp;
</span><span>&nbsp;
</span><span>In
the
past,
intelligence
officials
have
had
sufficient
information
to
adequately
check
the
backgrounds
of
refugee
applicants.&nbsp;
</span><span>&nbsp;
</span><span>In
reference
to
the
Syrian
refugees,
neither
Director
Comey
nor
Secretary
Johnson
could
vouch
for
the
sufficiency
of
the
available
information.&nbsp;
</span><span>&nbsp;
</span><span>Therefore,
I
asked
Secretary
John
Kerry
and
the
United
States
Department
of
State
to
suspend
efforts
to
resettle
Syrian
refugees
in
South
Carolina.&nbsp;
</span><span>&nbsp;
</span>
</p>
<p style="margin-left:0pt;margin-right:0pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:14pt;"><span>As
Governor,
it
is
my
first
and
primary
duty
to
ensure
the
safety
of
the
citizens
of
South
Carolina.&nbsp;
</span><span>&nbsp;
</span><span>While
I
agree
that
the
United
States
should
try
to
assist
individuals
in
dire
situations,
the
lack
of
historical
and
verifiable
intelligence
with
many
Syrian
refugees
makes
it
difficult,
if
not
impossible,
to
thoroughly
vet
individuals
seeking
to
enter
the
United
States
as
refugees.&nbsp;
</span><span>&nbsp;
</span><span>Currently,
no
Syrian
refugees
fleeing
the
current
conflict
have
been
resettled
in
South
Carolina,
and
until
these
security
issues
are
addressed,
I
hope
the
United
States
Department
of
State
will
honor
my
request.&nbsp;
</span><span>&nbsp;
</span><span>&nbsp;
</span>
</p>
<p style="margin-left:0pt;margin-right:0pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:14pt;"><span>Thank
you
again
for
your
message
and
interest
in
this
issue.&nbsp;
</span><span>&nbsp;
</span><span>God
bless.
