Gardner. I read two of the "whereas" clauses in the resolution. I am placing the whole communication in the RECORD. but am choosing for emphasis only those parts which I think are most important: Whereas. this task force has thoroughly reviewed all potential means available within this community of reaching the Presidents goal by generating new jobs to absorb the large and everincreasing number of refugees in this area. and Whereas during the course of this review it has become apparent to this task force that Interama offers the greatest and most immediate assurance of creating new employmentapproximately 5.000 skilled and 7.000 unskilled manyear jobs during its initial construction phaseand that the construction of Interama will assure permanent employment for additional thousands thereafter. The task force. organized at the request of the Department of Health. Education. and Welfare to cooperate with that Department. is charged with the duty of seeking all proper and justifiable means of attaining the Presidents objective "to maintain and stimulate economic growth in the Miami area and to avoid introducing an additional burden on the economy as a result of the influx of refugees." I submit. Mr. President. the construction and development of Interama will assist in the acomplishment of this objective. The third letter is from Mr. Donald Wheeler Jones. president. Miami Branch of the NAACP. dated October 13. 1965. wherein he points out the problem of unemployment created in the Negro populace as a result of the increase in the number of Cuban refugees in the Miami area. Mr. President.
