Chairman. members of the Council. my colleagues in the Congress of the United States. members of delegations. members of the public. this is the first time that I have attended a session of this Council. But I come here well acquainted with your work. a friend of your purposes. and an admirer of your achievements. I am. as Mr. Schwartz has mentioned. chairman of the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Refugees and Escapees. Since your founding in 1951. that subcommittee has supported the work of ICEM. We know the role you have played in helping almost 640.000 refugees begin their lives again in new countries. We are aware of your great contribution in facilitating The immense waves of national migration. My colleagues join me in saluting these achievements.
