It lies along the whole southern border of Europe and Asia. Many of these Moslem peoples feel. whether rightly or wrongly. that they have not had sympathetic and equal treatment at the hands of the United States. This amendment provides 2.000 visas for those who are bona fide refugees in the Near East. the place of greatest tension in the whole area. I may say that I doubt more than 25 or so of these visas will ever be used. But I think it is sound and in the interest of our country to show by this provision that America does have a concern for. such unfortunate persons everywhere and provides an equal number of visas for these if they qualify and desire to use them. We believe that what is best for both them and us is for the peoples who are against each other in the Middle East to get together against the common enemy. the Communists.
