By lending a hand and opening our doors to these destitute persons. we can give them an opportunity to start anew and can instill in them hope for a brighter future. Furthermore many of these survivors who have lost members of their immediate families have close relatives here in this country. Reunification of these families will help alleviate their distress and suffering. Mr. Speaker. passage of this measure is in the best tradition of Americas humanitarian policy of offering a haven to the distressed and suffering. and to victims or refugees from disaster or tyranny. I urge immediate consideration and action on this proposal.
