Laurence Michelmore. CommissionerGeneral. United Nations Relief and Works Agency. submitted a report on the refugee situation in the Near East covering the period July 1. 1966. through June 30. 1967. This report. published by the United Nations in October. is a sober. balanced and thorough review of the refugee situation. The unresolved refugee situation has been one of the major stumbling blocks preventing a lasting solution to the conflict between Israel and the Arabs. Dr. Michelmores report provides the data and facts necessary to understand the dimensions of the problem. Of particular concern Is the section of the report entitled "The Aftermath of the Hostilities" which deals with the immediate pressing human problems created by that tragic war. Because of the importance of this subject to a lasting peace in the region I ask unanimous consent that this section of the "Report of the CommissionerGeneral of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East" be inserted in the RECORD at this point.
