We should not permit ourselves to continue to be controlled in this matter by one or at the most two committee chairmen. If ever there was a case for Presidential and congressional leadership to break selfimposed restrictions which seem to paralyze us. it is this. The President should demand refugee relief legislation as part of the package to meet the Berlin crisis. and the Congress should vote it without the selfimposed long delay and frustrations which now seem to be the rule. Again I renew my pledge that I will not stand still and see approved any ineffective. superficial. and tiny immigration measure. and that I shall exercise every prerogative I have as a Senator to endeavor to include in that measure the necessary immigration legislation generally. and do everything I can to relieve this refugee situation. I hope and pray that our leadership in the Senate and in the House will see the light in the face of this enormous opportunity which is afforded to the free world with respect to this flood of refugees. which is increasing every day from East Germany.
