Mr. President. this is World Refugee Year. Now. 14 years after the end of World War II. the displaced and homeless still fill the camps of Europe. dislocated by new violence. new persecutions and new disorders which have followed in close sequence the finish of the conflict which engulfed the world. The refugee problem has long been with us. so long. in fact. that we think of it as just that. "the refugee problem". sometimes overlooking the human factors involved. For the refugee. to lose hope is to become submerged and to lose lifes purpose. The New York Daily News recently ran a series of articles written by Kitty Hanson on the European refugee problem. stressing not the statistics with which we are all too familiar. but the very human problems to which we unfortunately sometimes become inured due to the passage of time and the interposing of other. more urgent considerations. I ask unanimous consent to have the article printed in the Appendix of the RECORD.
