Mr. Speaker. last November. when I visited Hungary. everywhere I saw the Russian soldiers in complete control of these poor people. and my mind turned back to October 1956. when thousands of Hungarians. fleeing the Red terror. came to Camp Kilmer as refugees. The Hungarian revolt was one of the most thrilling. heartbreaking. and aweinspiring events of our lifetime. Thrilling. because it was unequivocal proof that communism was objectionable and unbearable to freedomloving people. Heartbreaking. because of the destruction and massacre wrought by Soviet and Communist forces on the population of Hungary. Around 30.000 Hungarians were killed. 200.000 fled in search of refuge.
