Education. and Welfareand with the Congressto refine the admissions criteria and procedures needed to implement the new act. As I mentioned. we will be consulting with you on a regular basis on the evolution of the Cuban problem and legislation or other provisions necessary to resolve their status and provide them assistance. We will also be making a special effort to assure equity of treatment for all asylum applicants. Mr. Chairman. the refugee admissions I have discussed constitute a major commitment by our Government and by the American people. Helping these persecuted and uprooted persons begin new lives in our country will require the creative use of limited resources. But I am confident that our Nation. which provided a new life for our forefathers. will faithfully uphold this humanitarian tradition and meet this challenge.
