Mr. President. there is a situation which appears to be of increased cause for concern and alarm among the people of the United States. and particularly since the administration does not seem ouite sure what to do about it. I am speaking of the current exodus of refugees from Cuba into the United States. Yesterday. the extreme overcrowding of the processing camps where the Cubans had been sent exoloded In violent and destructive rioting. The citizens of Barling. adjacent to the Fort Chaffee Processing Center in Arkansas. were understandably slarmed last night when up to 1.000 refugees burst over the gates and threatened to overrun the town. Only by the use of force. tear gas. and at some injury to themselves. were State police and Army troopers able to tuirn back the rioters. This is an intolerable situation and the people of the United States rightly demand action.
