July 26. in the Judiciary Committee room. 2228 Dirksen Senate Office Building. at 11 a.m. Mr. President. there are few greater tests of the democratic and humanitarian ideals for which we stand than how we respond to the need of refugees. And there is no more basic human rights issue than the protection of refugees. The meeting in Geneva was an important step in responding to both these questions. Mr. President. I would like to share with my colleagues the text of the closing statement of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees. Mr. Poul Hartling. and the summation offered by Secretary General Kurt Waldheim.
