Mr. President. the news stories which carried an account of this letter indicated only that I had asked for an extension of the Refugee Relief Act. Some of those who have been working hard to help bring refugees to this country were concerned that I sought only this simple extension of time without any other changes in the program. Of course. I do not believe that the program can achieve its goals merely by extending the time for processing the applications. As I have indicated in the foregoing remarks. I think it is essential that measures be taken as soon as possibleboth administratively and legislativelyto make this program workable.
