Mr. President. I have just received a telegram from President Johnson. dealing with a matter of urgency and importance. which I now read: DEAR ALBERT: Thank you very much for your telegram giving me your views on the Arab refugee situation in Jordan. I know your longstanding interest in alleviating the plight of these unfortunate victims of two wars in the last two decades. Your firsthand report is helpful to me and I want to thank you for the speed with which you have prepared and transmitted it. As I stressed in my speech on June 19. the refugee problem is a cause of deep humanitarian concern to the United States and the manner in which it is dealt with will have a vital bearing on the overall question of whether a more stable peace can be established in the Near East. That is why I cited the need for a just solution of the refugee problem as one of the five basic elements for a Near East peace settlement. The immediate ta.sk is to ease the suffering of those who fled from the area of hostilities and are now departed from their homes and sources of livelihood. The U.S.
