Today I have contacted the International Rescue Committee. United HIAS. the U.S. Catholic Conference. and the Church World Service and received assurances that they will assist in the resettlement of these immigrants in the United States. In addition. the Intergovernmental Committee for European Migration has indicated that it will assist in the airlifting of the Ugandans to this country. as well as other countries giving refuge to them. There are those who say that so long as we have unemployed. we should not accept these refugees. But I say there is a morality and JudaoChristian ethic which requires us to extend our help to those who are in such great physical danger. Hopefully. every country appalled by the racist actions of Uganda will similarly open its doors so as to permit the ultimate exodus of approximately 90.000 Asians from Uganda. which will ultimately rue their loss. to friendly countries willing to receive them.
