Mr. President. news reports in recent weeks. including an article in the June 17 issue of the New York Times. tell of renewed violence and death in Burundi and the flow of thousands of new refugees into neighboring countries. A similar human tragedy. which a United Nations mission called staggering. occurred in that country just a year ago. in the spring and summer of 1972. As I suggested in this Chamber a year ago. I do not rise 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 wave of violenceand to urge renewed international efforts to bring peace and relief to the people of Burundi. Mr.
