Mr. President. an article in the September 1964 issue of the monthly report of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has recently come to my attention. This article recounts the circumstances surrounding the death of Frangois Preziosi. who was the representative of the High Commissioner in Bukavu. the Congo. and Jean Plicque. who was chief of the International Labor Organization zonal development project in Kivu Province. both international public selvants who gave their lives to the cause of international peace and an effective United Nations. These men were killed by a rebel officer while they were attempting to prevent Rwandese refugees from becoming involved in subversive political activities and to protect the refugees from harsh treatment by the provincial authorities. I ask unanimous consent to have this article printed in the RECORD.
