But the record is not completely without progress. On October 31. 1967. the Supplementary Convention on Slavery was favorably reported out by the Foreign Relations Committee. By a vote of 77 to 0 it was ratified by the full Senate 2 days later. And in the waning days of the 90th Congress. the committee sent to the Senate a Protocol Treaty on the Status of Refugees. The refugee treaty was put to a vote on October 4. 1968. and ratified 59 to 0. Mr. President. despite this progress. we are still far. far short of fulfilling our responsibilities to the world community.
