It is no exaggeration to say that the help you have enabled us to bring to them is often the only source of hope to these people at this critical time of their lives. It was against this background that I suggested to Judge Marchisio some weeks ago that it would be a good idea for him to visit the Italians who are suffering such hardships in Tunisia today and to visit the camps In which they were being placed upon their return to Italy. I had seen their plight with my own eyes and my heart was filled with sadness when I thought of what life in these horrible refugee camps might mean to them for the next several years. Perhaps by portraying their situation rather graphically we might be able to interest the Congress of the United States in permitting at least a limited number of them to find their way to hope and freedom in our own dear country. How well Judge Marchisio accomplished that mission many of you know.
