In the name of humanity. and in the interests of justice and equity. I ask compassion and help for this afflicted group and most earnestly urge my esteemed colleagues to pass this worthy bill. This bill contains ample safeguards controlling the screening of the proposed refugees. and we may be assured that no unworthy persons will be admitted under its provisions and operation. I can testify from my own experience that the Congress will never regret. but will always be proud. that it authorized the admission of these outstanding. loyal people to the United States. When encouragement. humane assistance. and opportunity take the place of a trembling earth and a searing lava covering their lands and homes. extinguishing their lifes work and humble possessions. these people. like their fellow countrymen before them. will embrace their adopted country with love. devotion. and unswerving loyalty.
