Mr. Speaker. tomorrow I will be traveling to Geneva. Switzerland. to participate in an International Conference on African Refugees. It is certainly fitting that the Congress go on record as proclaiming "African Refugee Relief Day" for April 9 as this conference is meeting. With some 4 million refugees Africa today has the most serious refugee problem of any continent. The devel oped nations meeting in Geneva will be reviewing ways the international community can relieve the suffering of these displaced persons. I am pleased to participate because the United States plans to offer a substantial pledge of assistance for use over the next 2 years.
