Again I reiterate. no community the size of metropolitan Dade County could conceivably be expected to absorb such a shock. Time and time again. I have met with the Secretary of the Department of Health. Education. and Welfare and other top echelon governmental officials concerned with the Cuban refugee programs. to discuss the need to reevaluate the overall program. Long ago. it was obvious that this was no longer a temporary situation. the facts demanded that priority attention be devoted to resettlementto opening a reception center elsewhere. Admirable efforts have been made by this administration and the agencies of the Federal Government in their attempts to alleviate this situation.
