Mr. President. as the first refugees from the recent Hungarian revolt against Soviet oppression and barbarism arrive in this Nation. a number of them are beginning to come to the various States and communities throughout our country. Many individuals and organizations are participating in various ways to make them feel welcome here and to ease their assimilation into our communities. Among these is the American Legion. The most immediate and urgent need of these newcomers to our land is. of course. to acquire at least rudimentary means of communicating in our language. The Oregon Legionnaire. which is distributed to the members of the American Legion of Oregon. reports in its January 1957. issue about the American Legions project of presenting HungarianEnglish dictionaries to the Hungarian refugees when they enter the United States. I ask unanimous consent that the article from the Oregon Legionnaire be printed in the RECORD.
