Mr. Speaker. one of the deeply disturbing results of Saddam Husseins invasion of Kuwait is the number of refugees this military operation has left in its wake. The many thousands of refugees who have fled into Jordan face hunger. disease. and worse in makeshift refugee camps. Last week I sent a letter to President Bush urging him to spearhead an international rescue mission to return these many thousands of people to their homes throughout the world. However it is organized. whether through the United Nations or by the several nations individually. whether with military or commercial aircraft. it would long be remembered around the world as an extraordinary act of generosity.
