I also want to indicate my full support for this bill. I think we have no viable alternative. I think it is only right that this Nation of ours continue its long tradition of accepting to its shores refugees from political oppression. As I say. I think that there is no realistic alternative. I think that this group of people. which may amount to around 125.000 with no more than 30.000 heads of families. can easily be absorbed into our economy. In fact. when we remember that last year under our immigration laws more than 400.000 people were admitted to the United States. then this group is not very large. and when they are equitably distributed through the United States. they will contribute. I firmly believe. much to our economy and will not be a burden upon it. I hope the House will support this bill in the form in which the committee has reported it.
