This affords me an opportunity to tell you. my constituents. and all the people of Cleveland. about some developments which have come to my attention since the adjournment of the first session of this Congress. As a member of the House Judiciary Committee. I was requested to undertake a special study mission in Asia. the purpose of which was to evaluate the administration of the Refugee Relief Act. to estimate the upset of populations caused by Communist aggression in that part of the world. and generally to observe developments that may have a bearing on the future security and wellbeing of the American people. I undertook this mission because it was obvious to me that a political crisis was rapidly developing throughout all of Asia which could very well spell the difference between peace and war. I left the United States by air on October 2 and visited the following countries--the Philippines. the Crown Colony of Hong Kong.
