I think you people who live in States that have less than 3 percent or 2 percent and in one or two instances less than 1 percent of your population of the colored race should stop. look. and listen before you are too critical of those who live in sections where. as I just said. in some counties the ratio is 80 to 2080 percent colored and 20 percent white. I serve on a subcommittee of the Committee on Appropriations that handles the appropriations for foreign aid. Two years ago the head of the refugee program under the foreign aid program told our committee this Government has spent over $330 million relocating refugees throughout the world. I asked the question. "Mr. Administrator. is the main reason that these refugees are moving from one country to another due to the fact they are unhappy with local laws. customs. and traditions that prevail in the countries from which they move?" He said "That is primarily the reason why these people are moving." All my amendment would do. Mr. Chairman. would be to permit unhappy Negroes in America to leave States where local laws. customs. and traditions prevail that make them unhappy.
