Mr. President. in our recognition of the gallant stand against Communist oppression made by the Hungarians last year. we have responded in a typical emotional attitude by admitting refugees from that unhappy country on a sympathetic basis rather than by the spirit of the law regulating immigration and naturalization. With the expiration of the Refugee Relief Act on December 31. 1956. it has been necessary for most of these refugees to be admitted through an unusual. tortured interpretation of the parole provisions of our immigration law. Six thousand three hundred and twentytwo have been admitted under the Refugee Relief Act. 20.382 have been admitted under the parole provision. from November 14. 1956. to February 20. 1957. Mr. President.
