There are reports that some 22.000 more will leave or be driven from Egypt in the next 7 or 8 months. Of these. it is believed 13.000 will find refuge in Israel. and the remaining 9.000 in Europe. The United States. it seems to us. should do its reasonable share in holding out a measure of hope for these escapees. some of whom have close relatives here. Our legislation is. of course. not confined to Jewish deportees alone. As the Presidents proposals form an Immigration pool for present and future victims of Communist repression. our amendment deals in a modest way with the recognition of oppression. regardless of source. Mr. President.
