Mr. President. I have received a number of telegrams and messages from the people of Oregon in support of reallocation of unused quotas under the refugee relief program. and I shall ask unanimous consent that they appear in the RECORD following my remarks. The Senate Judiciary Committee. within the last few days. has reported favorably the bill by the distinguished senior Senator from North Dakota. S. 3570. to extend the provisions of the Refugee Relief Act as it applies especially to orphans. This bill extends the time for issuing visas under section 5 of the Refugee Act from December 31. 1956. to December 31. 1959. and would increase the number of visas authorized in section 5 from 4.000 to 9.000. This bill follows closely the provision of my bill. S. 3753. and deserves. in my opinion. the full support from the Congress.
