I have been extremely active in trying to bring about a solution to the tragic situation in Northern Ireland. I have introduced legislation calling for an end to hostilities. the withdrawal of British troops. and the holding of a plebiscite of all of Ireland to determine the question of national reunification. I have also introduced legislation to provide 25.000 emergency refugee visas for residents of Northern Ireland. This would provide speedy entry into the United States in time of emergency in much the same way as this Nation provided for the Hungarians and the Cubans in the past. Just last week I testified at hearings on the problem before the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
