I would like to straighten out the figures given us by the Senator from Mississippi. because they tie in with what the Senator from Hawaii has just said. He gave us estimates of 180.000 refugees who were outside of the Algerians and under the jurisdiction of the High Commissioner for Refugees. The reason for that difference is this: The Senator from Mississippi is talking about refugees in camps. and he has given us a figure of 28.000. but there are 100.000 refugeesand this fact is reported by the U.S. Committee on Refugees. the Zellerbach Commission. and the International Rescue Committeewho are outside of tents. and they are miserable. and they need to have something done about them. This bill does not touch them. Then. as to the hard core cases. the tubercular cases. the old. the institutionalized. we have the same problem. They too. are dispersed in the economy. They are suffering nonetheless. They are refugees nonetheless. But they do not come into the sharply limited and sharply defined category we are talking about. It is nobodys fault.
