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 the particular problems facing refugees in different areas around the world. the many governmental and private efforts being made to solve them. and the continuing need for even greater efforts in behalf of our suffering fellow man. It also calls special attention to those national and international voluntary agencies which are devoting a major portion of their efforts to assisting these refugees. In issuing its annual report. the USCR performs an important public service. I want to commend the organizationand its executive vice president.
