I must say I do not agree with that opinion. I think it is a very critical and intense issue on its own. nevertheless. it is an indication of the fact that we have not been considering MidEast policy. while the MidEast remains just as explosive. just as much a tinderbox. as it has been for a very long time. The visit of King Hussein to the United States affords us one very important opportunity for a discussion of the Arab refugee question. Arab refugees constitute about half the population of. Jordan. some 517.388 being there now. and constituting the most volatile portion of the population of that strifetorn land. Mr. President. I have a report of an investigation by a subcommittee of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary dated March 16. 1959. It was a special subcommittee to investigate the problems connected with refugees and escapees. I ask unanimous consent to have printed as a part of my remarks the reference in the report to the Arab refugee situation.
