I am sure that it is not the intention of Congress to have as many as 650.000 Cubans come to our shores. When this program was first started. our unemployment situation was nothing like it is today. We had normal employment of citizens at the time. It is rather easy at such times to absorb a few more refugees from Cuba. particularly those with trades or who are proficient in certain endeavors. But since 1965. we have been providing free transportation for Cubans. We have or we have had a contract with certain airlines to carry Cubans from Havana at the rate of 3.200 a month.
