Mr. President. I introduce for appropriate reference a bill for the relief of certain Catholic and Jewish refugees from Hungary who have been subject to religious and political persecution in that country. They came lawfully into this country and since late in July have been under arrest without bail for having overstayed the time allowed them under their transit visas. They are now in the process of being deported. If sent back to Hungary. they no doubt will be liquidated. These are all persons whose good moral characters have been certified by the immigration authorities. and their only offense is that they did not foresee that the Senate Judiciary Committee would impound indefinitely the House bill to liberalize the displacedpersons law. I ask unanimous consent to have inserted in the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD a statement giving in greater detail the justification for this private bill.
