We always speak of fervently hopingas my colleague does. with his usual eloquencethat the President will exercise leadership in this field. Ought we not fervently to hope that the leadership of the Senate and House will exercise their prerogatives? The President has exercised leadership. and I think rather brave leadership. in allowing 31.000 refugees to be admitted into this country as parolees. under a section of the act which. it is charged. was never intended for that purpose. He has continued to allow them to come into this country. Although Congress has been in session for 3 months. it has not lifted a finger to pass the legislation which it ought to pass. in the interest of winning the cold war.
