D.C. D-- MR. PRsmMr: The Ntutley Chapter of the AAUN. noting that only onehalf of the $10 million made available to the White House contingency fund under section 708 of the Mutual Security Act 1950 has been committed to refugee needs. expresses the hope that you will see fit to allocate the remaining $5 million to oversea refugee programs. We realize there are many legitimate claims upon the mutual security contingency fund. but we are deeply convinced that refugee needs should be given high priority in order to present to the world a faithful reflection of U.S. leadership and cosponsorship of World Refugee Year. We know. too. that like all our compatriots. you have a sympathetic concern for these victims of powerful historic forces. of Communist oppression. and of the most cruel social injustices. During the coming United Nations Week in October. the Nutley Chapter of the AAUN plans to focus special attention on the refugee problem and to collect funds for transmission to the United Nations High Commissioner through the U.S. Committee for Refugees. We feel that our efforts would be very greatly aided if the full $10 million authorized by Congress were utilized to this great humanitarian end. Respectfully.
