There is nothing at all we can do to bring back to life the unfortunate Hungarian martyrs after their barbaric execution by the puppets of the Soviet Union. However. I wish to remind the Senate of the fact that there are hundreds of thousands of refugees still unsettled in Europe. In fact. there are some 200.000 such refugees. who are homeless in Europe. and many of them are the brave people who revolted in Hungary. I am informed by the Zellerbach Commission on International Refugees. headed by Mr. Harold Zellerbach. who is a distinguished constituent of the Senator from California. that the unwillingness of the United States to accept its fair proportionate share of these refugees. based on the population and wealth of our country. discourages other Hungarians from seeking freedom. We in the Senate have a tendency very often to substitute oratory for action. Unfortinately. brave men cannot take our speeches and fight with them against Soviet tanks. If we wish to erect a memorial to these gallant martyrs to Hungarian freedom and Hungarian patriotism. who have been executed by the puppets of the Soviet Union. we should take into our country. with the hope that eventually they would become citizens of it. the unfortunate and distressed and homeless refugees from Hungary. whom we have not accepted in the proportionate share that the United States. based on population and wealth. should take. I call attention to the recommendation of the Zellerbach Commission in this respect. and I ask unanimous consent to place in the RECORD the letter and memorandum I received from the commission on June 6. 1958.
