Mr. President. I also wish to note that this is not merely a responsibility of a great organization such as CARE. but it is also an opportunity for the United States of America again to demonstrate to the world our keen concern over the welfare of refugees. not only from Tibet. but also from other areas. These refugees are in India because of Communist tyranny and brutality. The Tibetan refugees are in India because their great spiritual leader was literally driven from his country. The Communist Government of Red China has again demonstrated the villainy and tyranny of communism and its utter disdain for the religious freedom of people and for the independence and autonomy of nations and states. I hope the Government of the United States. through the Department of State and through the Department of Agriculture. which has control over our vast food surpluses. will make it crystal clear to any responsible international agencies such as CARE or the Red Cross. or any other similar organization. that we are prepared to help feed these refugees. It should be made clear that we are not only ready to feed them. but also to offer them medical services and other kind of assistance. Let the world know that as Communist leaders use their whips and their swords and their guns to punish people. we in the United States are prepared to save their lives. Let us assure the Government of India that whatever cost may be entailed in connection with the refugee program to take care of the refugees from Tibet. we in the United States are prepared to help share the cost. Here is a glorious opportunity for the President of the United States and for the Secretary of State and for the Secretary of Agricultureyes. and for Congress. tooto say. with a clear and unmistakable voice. that the United States of America is prepared at all times to aid the refugees from Communist tyranny. and that we are prepared to walk the extra mile in helping to feed these people. Let us assure the Government of India that. as the Indian Government provides asylum and refuge for these unhappy people. who have been literally driven from their homes by the armies of Communist China. we stand with them and we hope at all times that India. as a free country. will provide asylum and refuge for people who love liberty and who wish to worship their God as they see fit and who believe in religious freedom and in the dignity of man.
