I strongly urge that the planned meeting of the General Assembly of the United Nations be convened at the earliest possible moment in order that the greatest possible advantage be taken of the present weakened position of the Soviet Union. I trust that our Department of State is moving rapidly in that direction now and that they are leaving no stone unturned in planning action by the Assembly. Although the terrible and trying situation of the Hungarian people is a matter of concern to all Americans and to free peoples everywhere. their plight is particularly heartrending to their friends and relatives exiled from their native land or voluntary emigrants who fled during the many years of oppression by Fascist and Communist dictatorships. One such group in San Francisco has telegraphed to me a plea in support of direct action to relieve Hungary such as I have advocated. I ask that it be printed in the RECORD at the conclusion of these remarks as evidence of the deep and abiding hope in their hearts that we will not abandon their countrymen to the merciless mercies of their present rulers.
