Mr. Speaker. in November 1956. as secretary of state of New Jersey and the representative of the Governor I was present at Camp Kilmer. N.J.. when the first of more than 36.000 Hungarian refugees arrived in America. I saw the lean and bewildered faces of these men. women. and children who had fled the land of their birth rather than submit to the Communist tyranny. and I marked them well. Today at the seventh anniversary of the Hungarian revolution I reviewed these faces again in my memory. as I wish not to forget them and those who struggled so valiantly in freedoms name.
