I returned from a visit to Bangladesh. I traveled to this newest nation at the invitation of the government of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. As chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Refugees. the main purpose of my visit was to assess firsthand the immediate relief and rehabilitation needs of the Bengali peopleespecially the 10 million refugees returning from India to Bangladesh. and the millions of others displaced within the boundaries of their homeland. To travel in Bangladesh today is to better understand the immensity of past tragedy. and to better comprehend the challenges which now face the Bengali people and those around the world who will help the people of Bangladesh to help themselves. Tragedy and triumph are everywhere present.
