Mr. Speaker. I call to the attention of the Congress the statement of the American Couhcil of Voluntary Agencies for Foreign Service. entitled "The Refugee ProblemConcerning Both Sectors. the Public and the Private." The American council consists of some 38 voluntary agencies dedicated to promote the welfare of our less fortunate peoples in the world through cooperative humanitarian programs. The council provides these agencies a means for consultation. coordination. and planning so that relief and reconstruction programs may be carried on in the most effective way. A3843 I deem it most appropriate in this World Refugee Year and in the years to comefor this problem cannot be solved in any 1 year alonethat these coordinated efforts be encouraged and continued. Under unanimous consent I include the councils statement in the Appendix of the RECORD.
