I think that number is sufficient. Mr. President. the Cuban refugees who are unemployed .and need assistance receive better help than our own people. because we provide funds for their upkeep. and under certain rules and regulations we are compelled through special appropriations to pay the State authorities of the States concerned a sufficient amount to- take care of the needs of the refugees. including schooling and things of that kind. Mr. President. I really believe that we have done enough. I am sure that no one will object to permitting Cubans to come to the United States the same as any other immigrants. My fear is that if we continue a program of this kind from a humanitarian standpoint. we will be asked to take care of many people from Peru. Many people from Argentina are seeking another place in which to live.
