President. there is no way in the world to equate money or material things with freedom. Any man who has once 24007 lost his can tell you that. Last year. in one of the great moral blunders in our history. we turned an escaped refugee sailor back to his Russian masters. The shame of that deed will Ainger a long time. Now. multiply that. if you will. by 40.000. because the proposal. in the name of jobs and economy. was a proposal to condemn 40.000 freedom loving men and women to lifetimes of slavery. Who. here. is willing to participate in such a deed. Mr. President. much has been said about the freedom airlift. much has been said about how the Cuban refugees have integrated into American life. there is little I can add. But I can urge those who first presented the amendment. which was later withdrawn. to reconsider. Our country was founded and has been built on one foundationfreedom.
