Mr. President. about 2 weeks ago. I joined several of my colleagues in cosponsoring S. 1424. the Polish Permanent Resident Adjustment Act of 1987. In my statement made on that occasion I mentioned the fact that approximately 300 of the Polish refugees who got stranded in our country as martial law was declared in Poland reside in my State. Connecticut. I also paid tribute to the rich contributions of the PolishAmerican community of Connecticut to the economic. cultural. and social life of our State. In response. yesterday I received a heartwarming thank you letter from the president of the Connecticut district of the Polish American Congress.
