As Americans we know that it is not just enough to be strong. We want to be strong. and also to be able to say to the oppressed: Welcome. come in to the land of the free. It was my privilege over a period of several years to* serve as chairman of the Subcommittee on Refugees and Escapees of the Committee on the Judiciary. During that period a number of hearings were held across the country to analyze the effectiveness with which Cuban refugees were resettled. and resettled. indeed. at points which one would think. by virtue of language. local conditions. and even climate. were not conducive to success. Actually. the reverse was the case. Our efforts were dramatically successful. In Michigan. the Cuban refugees have settled in the region of Grand Rapids in the number of more than 300. There are more than 1.000 Cuban refugees in the entire State of Michigan. Mr. President.
