We are troubled that our aunts and uncles. cousins and other relatives in Poland are facing military rule. possible imprisonment. the lack of freedom. the lack of food. and the lack of fuel. And we hope some humanitarian efforts will be taken. While we condemn the military rule in Poland. we thank Austria for opening its borders to refugees. we thank Australia for accepting refugees. And while our Government is considering contingency plans in the area of immigration visas and so on. as the gentleman from Kentucky said. with careful deliberation and prudence. we urge now that this very modest. humanitarian gesture be taken that would allow our Government to extend the visas for people who are currently here under such bona fide visas until such time as the President of the United States would determine it would be safe for them to return. I ask that because of the situation I find Poles visiting this country in. both in my own district and throughout the country. The people that I am talking about are students who came here to study medicine. nursing. skills that will be needed in Poland. elderly who have come to visit relatives. nuns and priests who are conceined about returning.
