Ambassador Martin. in a speech before the committee. described the organization as an effective instrument that serves "both people in need and countries in need of people." My colleague. the gentleman from New Jersey. PETER RoneNo. JR.. spoke for the entire delegation when he said he was "proud that the United States has given further substance to its interest in ICEM by an additional contribution." He also stated that ICEM is "an important and indispensable organ of the international community in this everchanging world.".
