I refer to first asylum situations such as the Indochinese in Thailand. Malaysia. and Indonesia. The Hungarian and Czechoslovakian refugees in Austria. and the refugee and displaced persons in Germany following World War II. We must establish refugee camps for the Cubans who have no relatives here. where there could be orderly processing and selection by foreign missions offering resettlement opportunities elsewhere. We must urge UNHCR and ICEM to make a continuous and determined effort to appeal to other countries. not only to offer these people permanent homes. but also to contribute financially to the care and maintenance. as well as to transportation costs while these people are awaiting resettlement. We should be able to count on the nations of the world to respond to our problem as generously and compassionately as we have to other nations in the past.
