Mr. Speaker. I offer today for the consideration of the House a bill designed to completely revise the socalled Refugee Relief Act of 1953. When President Eisenhower signed this law 2 years ago. he pointed out that its purpose was to welcome to our shores and give asylum to over 200.000 victims of Nazi and Communist oppression. These political refugees and escapees from behind the Iron Curtain were to be permitted to come to the American haven during a 3year period ending in President Eisenhower said pridefully in August 1953: ItThis lawdemonstrates again Americas concern for the homeless. the persecuted. and the less fortunate of other lands. This is "a great humanitarian act." Nothing could have been further from the truth. This law is an immoral deception and a fraud.
