Mr. President. immediately involved are 2.000 Hungarian refugess. particularly those whose families are already partially in the United States. and 8.000 with relatives in the United States. I also pointed out that it is important to note that 1.900 admissions were unused when the Refugee Relief Act expired on December 31. 1956. So. Mr. President. those who complain about the admission of parolees under the Refugee Relief Act program should carefully note the unused portion of the total number which Congress intended should be used in connection with the Refugee Relief Act. Finally. Mr. President. I cannot conclude a statement on this subject without calling attention to the plight of the refugees from persecution in Egypt. who also are entitled to consideration for admission to the United States under a parole status. They are fewer in number. but they also are thoroughly deserving. in terms of the antiCommunist struggle. for it is a rather open secret that the Communists are pulling the strings. and that that is the reason for the persecutions. especially in the case of the Jewish families in Egypt.
