Madam President. the resolution would continue the Subcommittee on Refugees and Escapees of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary. with the assignment of examining. investigating. and making a complete study of any and all matters pertaining to the problems created by the flow of escapees and refugees from Communist tyranny. In all fairness. I wish to report that It was the hope of the chairman of the subcommittee. the distinguished Senator from Arkansas . that at the conclusion of this year the subcommittee might be terminated. Instead. the resolution now pending proposes to increase the amount of money for the subcommittee from $25.000 to $50.000. Why? I think one need only read the daily press to recognize that although our desire that there be a termination of refugees and escapees from Communist tyranny is a laudatory one. history does not concur with our hope. As all of us now know. we are faced with a very dramatic challenge to organize ourselves responsibly to receive an increased flow of refugees from not far away. from Cuba. The President of the United States. in his first and televised press conference. emphasized. in reply to a question. the fact that plans will have to be made in this regard. He reserved making any detailed statement.
