Mr. President. the U.S. Committee for RefugeesUSCRrecently issued its annual report on world refugee problems. As in past years. the report contains a census of the homeless throughout the world. which dramatically underscores a simple factthat the troubles of our time are taking a growing toll in the flight of people from conflict and oppression. All over the world people are on the move. The report goes on to describe these problems of humanity. the many governmental and private efforts being made to solve them. and the continuing need for even greater efforts in behalf of our suffering fellowman. Most of the articles in the report are based on papers read to the National Conference on World Refugee problems held in Washington last November. which was sponsored by the USCR in association with the American Council of Voluntary Agencies and the American Immigration and Citizenship Conference. In issuing its annual report. the USCR performs an important public service. I want to commend the organizationand its executive vice president.
