The people in my Congressional District in Connecticut suffered terribly from two successive devastating floods in 1955. The havoc wrought by these disasters cost the lives of 77 people and property damage of $200 million in my District. Our sympathy goes out to all who have suffered from natural calamities. and I think it would be a great humanitarian act on the part of this Congress to offer shelter in the land of plenty to the destitute victims of the earthquake and volcanic eruptions in the Azores Islands. I urge the enactment of the pending measure providing immigration relief to the natural disaster victims and also those seeking political refuge.
