President. I shall not detain Senators long. but my able colleague and I have a prepared statement which we would like to have incorporated in the RECORD. but first I should like to outline it. and I shall do so as quickly as I can. Title 3 of the bill covers an item of $12.600.000 as requested by the President to take care of the immediate expenses in connection with the new influx of Cuban refugees. On this subject I wish to make a few comments. First. my colleague and I wish it distinctly understood that this is the best that could be done in estimating the immediate expenses. This subject can be considered again by the Congress next spring. and if the movement of Cuban refugees is as large as all who seem to know something about it are now predictingthey now predict approximately 45.000. and it may grow greaterit will be necessary to appropriate additional funds. The second comment I should like to make is that we are hoping that the emphasis on prompt resettlement will be a strong emphasis as laid down by the Department of Health. Education. and Welfare and all Federal offices concerned. The area of Miami. Dade County. has received approximately 270.000 Cuban refugees under the earlier influx of refugees and approximately a third of them are back there now. Although the resettlement covered much more than twothirds. a great many have come back. It has been disturbing. especially to the people of lowincome economy.
