CXI1676 The dedication of America to our traditions as an asylum for the oppressed will be upheld. Those in Cuba who seek freedom may now "make an orderly entry into the United States." The U.S. emphasis will be on orderly movement. and the President is asking the Department of State to seek through the Swiss Government the agreement of the Cuban Government in a request to the President of the International Red Cross Committee. The request is for the assistance of the Committee in processing the movement of refugees from Cuba to Miami. Miami will serve as a port of entrythe temporary place for refugees as they move on to settle in other parts of the country. The President has asked all States in the Union to join with Florida "in extending the hand of helpfulness and humanity to our Cuban brothers." Here again is an example of how America can grow strongerby extending a hand of fellowship to men and women who declare their devotion to freedom by their action. not just by speech. We grow not by being selfish and content with the status quobut by initiative and positive actions of faith.
