Chairman. I thank my distinguished colleague. the gentleman from Ohio . and heartily endorse his comments. I think they are indeed refugees. When one signifies his desire to depart and he is deprived of his job and he can be picked up the next day as a vagrant and be put into prison. I think a flight from that country constitutes being a refugee. The figures of refugee exodus. as I understand it. were 34.500 in 1973 and 17.400 in 1974. a very ominous drop. I am sorry to hear that the gentleman said it is running at the rate of 12.000 this year.
