I know that there are thousands of families in: these United States who would be more than willing and happy to take an orphan child into their home. Why cannot we be the leaders in this program and why in the name of heaven can we not be humane about this problem and forget about our restrictive policies? In the last 5 years we have kept out of this country over 216.000 people who would have been entitled to come in under the present quota law. Why can we not allocate this unused quota number to deserving people who are otherwise doomed to certain death? I submit to the House that the world hopes for action by this Congress. which isthe only body that can save these men. women. and children from complete annihilation.
