Mr. President. once again I wish to invite attention to the annual report of the U.S. Committee for Refugees. the citizens committee whose work is familiar to all of us. As in past years. the current report is an extremely useful survey of refugee problems throughout the world. It also notes the various governmental and private agencies through which the American people render humanitarian assistance to those who flee persecution. tyranny. and military conflict. The major refugee problems today are in South Vietnam and Africa. where the needs of displaced persons claim the concern of our country. There is also the continuing problem of refugees from Cuba. who are finding asylum in this country. As chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Refugees and Escapees. I commend the U.S. Committee for Refugees for issuing this timely report. The committee deserves our thanks for a job well done in its every effort to help our citizens understand the significance of refugee problems and the continuing need for this country to exert leadership in finding reasonable solutions. Mr. President.
