Mr. Speaker. the redefection to the Soviet Union on April 8 of five Soviet seamen who had previously elected to stay in this country dramatizes the problem facing this country in fulfilling the hopes of refugees from Communist countries. The recent study by the Donovan Commission of the International Rescue Committee. which I referred to in the RECORD of March 29. 1956. pointed out that more than 1.000 such persons have returned to their countries of origin in a recent 13month period. The most recent redefections will be of inestimable propaganda value to the Communists but perhaps also of some value to us in underlining the deficiencies in our handling of such people.
