Speaker. further reserving the right to object. I was handed a statement this morning. apparently from the Judiciary Committee. concerning this matter. in which the Navy is reported to have said this would not be a precedent. I want assurance from some high level source other than the Navy. as much as I respect that branch of the service. that this legislation will not be a precedent for unloading refugees from Okinawa into U.S. territory. We have made the bad mistake. in my opinion. of turning back the Bonin Island to Japan. and now this administration has compounded that mistake of returning Okinawa to Japan under the circumstances that exist in the Far East. I want to know whether we are going to be compelled to accept from Okinawa as in the Bonin Islands. those who do not want to go back under Japanese dominion.
