Mr. Speaker. President Johnson has called Fidel Castros hand in dramatic fashion by saying that Cuban refugees can be assured of sanctuary on these shores. The President. in what the Philadelphia Inquirer has termed "a masterful bit of timing." made the announcement at the foot of the Statue of Liberty during the signing ceremony for the new immigration bill. This bill eradicates unjust provisions in the law governing the admission of foreigners to this country. The Inquirer editorially has praised the administration and this country for "calling Castros hand." and I ask permission to insert the article In the RECORD. [From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
