Mr. President. as chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Refugees. I have followed with growing concern the tragic effects of the drought in Africastretching from the Sahel region in West Africa across to Ethiopia. Considerable attention and. even more important. a successfull international relief effort. has been focused on the emergency food problems in West Africa. However. little attention and even less concern has been directed to an equally serious droughtstricken area in Ethiopia. Recent reports from the field indicate that the 3year drought in Ethiopia is producing widespread hunger and famine in many areas. displacing millions and threatening the lives of several hundred thousand people.
