A recent article in Life magazine. published just in December. says this: They comprise a fourth of the areas population. and their average income has risen to a healthy $8.000 for each family. More than half own their own houses. and they pump a total of $600 million a year into the local economy. What we are saying is that no matter how diligent and how affluent most of the Cuban refugees may have becomeand the record seems clear that they have succeededunder present procedures. the Federal Government is going to take care of a substantial number forever on welfare. It seems to me this is too much. Although it is not in the bill. we do have report language which proposes that we try to terminate the program by the end of next year.
