President. I would like to offer in addition the eloquent words of Mr. John McCarthy. who is director of the migration and refugee services of the U.S. Catholic Conference. In testimony this week before the subcommittee on refugees. Mr. McCarthy urged speedy action to get funds to Americas voluntary agenciesthe people who will be charged with the essential task of providing resettlement opportunities to the refugees now reaching our shores. As he told the subcommittees: There is a job to be done . . . there is in our land the human scars of a terrible war. Let us all work together to resettle these refugees and make there intricate contributing members of our communities. Let us add a few additional brilliant chips that will make our nation. now a mosaic of different cultures and strengths. a world example of our true ideology which was often buried in the rhetoric of our controversial Asian policy and practice. Mr. President. I ask unanimous consent that the text of Mr. McCarthys statement before the refugee subcommittee be printed at this point in the RECORD.
