Mr. President. I thank my distinguished friend. the Senator from Kentucky. I compliment him on his amendment. I compliment him on his speech. I associate myself with every remark he has made. and I am happy to be a cosponsor of the amendment. As the distinguished Senator has pointed out. there are some 14 million refugees in the world today. The United States of America already has taken more than its fair share. Other nations of the world are doing little or nothing about it. I was absolutely appalled. as I am sure the Senator from Kentucky was. to read in the press that Fidel Castro has sent to this country lepers. convicted felons. mentally ill. and people of that type. that the laws of this country prohibit from entering the country.
