I urge our Government to make available to him a refuge and sanctuary in the United States from the ruthless descent of the Chinese Communists on his little mountain kingdom. All too infrequently of late have we been identified with the fate of those who are the targets of tyranny. and this is an opportunity for us to cement our ties with one whose people have suffered cruelly at the hands of the Communist invaders. Our record with respect to admitting Hungarian refugees is one which is more comprisedalas--of words than deeds. so the Tibetan tragedy may be a further opportunity. although. of course. with only a handful of people involved so far as flight from their homeland is concerned. Mr. President I believe the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD should contain the statement of the Dalai Lama regarding the broken promises and shattered pledges made by the Chinese Reds. as a warning to other lands which might put faith in such blandishments. and I ask unanimous consent that the Dalai Lamas statement appear in the RECORD.
