Mr. President. I have cosponsored amendments to restore cuts in funds for the refugee program. including assistance for Soviet Jewish emigrants. because I believe that the unsettled circumstances of the world today do not justify less but probably more of an American effort in this humanitarian field. Events in Greece. Chile. Indochina. Middle East. the U.S.S.R.. all point to continuing need of U.S. assistance to relieve the distress of refugees and other victims of international tensions and domestic policies that violate human rights. I urge. therefore. that the Senate support action to provide funds required to meet as generously as possible the needs of these distressed people.
