I believe we must do a better job of selling the American brand of freedom. which is our greatest national treasure and mankinds greatest hope. We need to tell our story in new and better ways through the Voice of America. through our relations with other governments. and in our dealings with the people themselves. I believe that. in due time. the Cuban refugees can help us carry the message of true freedom to the nations of Latin America. Some of them will have lived under Batista. under Castro. and in the United States. It seems to me that their stories. told through the media and on personal tours. would be the greatest testimonial to freedom and against communism ever told by Spanishspeaking people to Spanishspeaking people. Mr. Speaker. I have said but little about the problems which the current refugee situation impose upon the United States and its citizens. I fully share the concern of my colleagues who denounce the unruly uprisings at Fort Chaffee and I agree that the refugees responsible for it should be isolated and expelled from the country. At the same time. I am not disposed to punish those who are without blame. or to deny them temporary refuge.
