Mr. Speaker. in the last several days. I have been contacted by over 40 Czechoslovakian nationals. currently visiting the greater Cleveland area on visitors visas. concerning their status and political asylum in the United States. In view of the number of people desiring assistance in obtaining political asylum. I have sent the following telegram to the President of the United States: In view of the cruel and disheartening occupation of Czechoslovakia by military forces of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact countries. I urge that asylum and refuge be extended to all Czechoslovak nationals currently visiting the United States.
