President. by the Presidents own admission the time is long overdue to raise the level of responsibility and encourage stronger national leadership in international humanitarian affairs. I hope the administration will therefore support this legislation. and finally work with the Congress to bring order and more effective action in a significant area of public policy and concern. As chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Refugees. I have since 1965 followed with some concern this question. and have long advocated the creation of a Bureau of Humanitarian and Social Services. A report of the subcommittee in 1969 formally recommended such a reorganization. which was supported by President Nixon in subsequent messages to the Congress on foreign aid management and reorganization.
