Mr. Speaker. a matter of utmost urgency has come to my attention. The Greek immigration authorities are detaining American citizens of Greek nationality who are in Greece for possible induction in that nations armed forces. I quote from a State Department cable from Greece: On July 23 the Greek General Staff issued an order to the Greek immigration authorities in conjunction with general mobilization that all male Greek subjects born during the years 1925 and 1956 were to be prevented from departing from Greece. The order covers all males of Greek origin regardless of place of birth. other citizenship or previous military service. There are numerous American males stuck in Greece because all flights were canceled once the fighting erupted on Cyprus.
