Mr. Speaker. I want to extend my congratulations to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees upon its receipt of the 1981 Nobel Peace Prize. The High Commissioners office. headed by Poul Harting. former Prime Minister of Denmark. is deserving of this highest of honors for the work it does in protecting those millions of persons whosince the office was created in 1951have been forced from their homelands because of war. persecution. and famine. Without the High Commissioners efforts. the suffering of those millions would be even more acute. The High Commissioner places top priority on repatriating the displaced person back into his or her own homeland.
