North Cadiz Circuit. Cadiz. Ky.. a city that I represent in Congress. has written a very thoughtful letter to me concerning the plight of refugees who are fleeing El Salvador and Haiti. I believe that Reverend Rounsavilles letter is one which should be shared with my colleagues and I wish to do so at this time. The letter follows: DEAR REPRESENTATIVE HUBBARD: I am concerned about the plight of refugees who are fleeing El Salvador and Haiti. As I understand the situation in those countries. these people are fleeing from repressive right wing governments. who also just happen to be our allies. The deportation of these individuals to their own respective countries could mean death for these persons. I am writing to ask your support of a program which would provide refugee status for Haitian refugees. "extended voluntary departure" for El Salvadorians. and appointment of a Coordinator of Refugee Affairs. These persons are persons of value who call upon us for help. As a Christian pastor.
