That does not count those that we do not know arrived nor does it correlate with any known figure on departures. One of the purposes in the meeting in Geneva is to get other countries to increase dramatically. The figure was twofold. to follow the U.S. example of receiving refugees. The reason I take this time now is to announce a very important breakthrough. some extremely good news. that our neighbor to the north. Canada. has since 1975 accepted some 15.000 Indochinese refugees. that their current rate of acceptance is 1.000. that they have. today. in a telegram to the chairman of the Judiciary Committee. the gentleman from New Jersey . pledged to triple that figure to 3.000 a month and admit some 50.000 Indochinese refugees by the end of 1980. I submit that is extraordinarily good news. If other receiving countries in Geneva respond in kind and if countries who have not responded heretofore respond at all. follow this kind of world leadership.
