Mr. Speaker. I wish to bring to my colleagues attention an article entitle. "Refugee Crisis: Causes and Solutions" by Jewel LafontantMankarious. ambassadoratlarge and U.S. Coordinator for Refugee Affairs. This article appeared In the Christian Science Monitor on December 31. 1990. As chairman of the Select Committee on Hunger. I am deeply concerned about the 16 million refugees in the world today. I find it particularly disturbing that. as Ambassador Lafontant points out. human rights abuses are often the cause of critical refugee situations. One of these abuses is the denial of adequate amounts of food. The Select Committee on Hunger has a longstanding Interest both in the plight of the worlds refugees. as well as in insuring all peoples access to food. Therefore. I wish to thank Ambassador Lafontant for bringing these critical issues before the public.
