Mr. Speaker. I rise today to applaud the humanitarian speedy response of the Government of Pakistan to the continued aggressive attacks by the Soviet Union on innocent people of Afghanistan. The Pakistani Government has thus far accepted almost 3 million refugees and offered them sanctuary in Pakistan. Their humanitarian efforts have saved the lives of millions of displaced Afghans. The Government of Pakistan has acted in a remarkably efficient manner. in conjunction with the United Nations. in this important undertaking. In addition. the Government has allowed the United Nations to establish procedures within Pakistan to facilitate the settlement of these civilians upon entering the country.
