Mr. Chairman. it is not my intention to become involved in the debate of personalities which threaten to impede the proper functioning of the Refugee Relief Act. Anyone among us who. in the name of friendship. seeks to exploit for his own political gain those men and women hoping for refuge in this land does a disservice to the humanitarian principles upon which the legislation was inspired. It is apparent that not only in this. but other problems. that we try politically to exaggerate differences that do not really exist. When we do this. Mr. Chairman. it would seem to me that we only play into the hands of evil forces which seek to exploit differences to the advantage of those who will charge this Nation with hypocrisy rather than the truth regarding our desire to help the unfortunate throughout the world.
