Mr. President. there was a very close negotiation between ourselves and the House of Representatives. The compromises that were arrived at I think were eminently fair. and a very commendable sensitivity was demonstrated toward the refugees. That was so as to give them the best possible feeling about the hospitality of this country and the understanding that we are all a nation of immigrants and that in this kind of a catastrophe they are indeed very welcome here so long as they conform. as the overwhelming majority I know will. to our standards of relationship to each other and in relationship to our country.
