Speech #870253153

Mr. Speaker. we. in south Florida. have long been deeply concerned with the Cuban refugee problem brought upon the United States by the rise to power of the Castro Communist regime in January 1959. During the late fall of 1961. public hearings were held in the Senate to consider this grave situation. Out of these hearings came an 11point recommendation of what should and could be done by the Federal Government to effectively operate the Cuban refugee program and ease the strangling burden on the city of Miami. Dade County. and State of Florida. It has been said by some that the Department of Health. Education. and Welfare. which is responsible for the administration of the Cuban refugee program. has ignored these recommendationsfailed to fully recognize the problem as a Federal oneand has left Miami virtually stranded in its efforts to deal with the tremendous socioeconomic burden thrown upon it by the vicious tactics of Castros Communist regime in Cuba. Mr. Speaker. this is not so.
