Mr. President. as chairman of the Judiciary Committees Subcommittee on Refugees. I wish to give notice that on March 7. at 2 p. In.. a public hearing will be held by the subcommittee. to deal with the problem of the 800.000 or 900.000 Arab refugees who are in the camps in the Near East. This matter is of very great importance. for in view of the attitude of Russia toward these refugees and the refusal to contribute to their support. it may well be that if a third world war should commence. this situation might be the focal point of its beginning. I hope every Senator who is interested in the matter will either attend the hearing personally or will file with the subcommittee a statement. because in one way or another the problem of the 800.000 or 900.000 refugees who are in the Near East must be solved. It has continued for 10 years. Somehow or other we must solve it. In Germany. the West German Government absorbed 8 million refugees who came there from various of the satellite countries. So it seems to me that after 10 years. it should be possible to arrive at a solution of the Arab refugee problem. in order to take care of those poor. miserable refugees. who are living there under terrible conditions. This situation. at least in my opinion. does not reflect much credit on the part played by the United States. I hope all Senators will take notice of the forthcoming hearing. and if they have any solution at all to suggest.
