Mr. President. today marks the end of the World Refugee Year. As this enterprise of mans possible humanity to man concludes it is marked by both triumph and tragedy: triumph for what has been accomplished. and tragedy. because so much remains to be done. Clearly there is triumph in the partial fulfillment of the purpose of the World Refugee Year. It did not hope to solve the great problem to which it was dedicated. It proffered no Utopian hope of solving the gigantic worldwide problem of millions of refugees. Rather. the year was dedicated to stimulating thought and effort on the part of all people and every government toward solving the problems arising from the homelessness of these millions of unfortunates. It was dedicated to the proposition that there can be an end to their grotesque physical. social. and mental suffering.
