Education. and Welfare. he was appointed adviser to the program. He served in that capacity until his death. and made important contributions to the welfare of the Cuban refugees who sought asylum on our shores. As chairman of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Refugees and Escapees. I know his efforts well. and on behalf of the subcommittee I want to extend my deep sympathy to the members of his family. especially to Mrs. Micocci and his children. Our country has lost a good and compassionate man. The refugees have lost a true friend.
