In recent days journalists and others have pieced together a story of bloody civil strife between two tribal groups in Burundi over the last 6 weeks. It is a story of massacre. the execution of leadership elements on both sides. and the suffering and dying of tens of thousands of civilians. It is a story of thousands of refugees in needwithin Burundi and across the borders in Zaire and Tanzania and Rwanda. I do not rise today to blame or condemn. or to offer any magic solution for meeting the political and humanitarian problems in Burundi. But. as chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Refugees. I do rise to express a deep personal concern over the plight of the people caught in the latest link in a chain of warravaged populations stretching around the world in recent years. I fully appreciate the immense difficulties in the Burundi issue.
