Mr. Chairman. once again I rise in strong support of this legislation. This situation is painfully reminiscent of the tragic and misguided policy of our Government when Jewish refugees were turned away from our shores as Hitler was gaining strength in their homeland. Mr. Chairman. we cannot allow such a tragic mistake to be made again. Passage of this legislation is absolutely essential to ensuring that our Nation lives up to its promise of being the worlds beacon of hope and freedom. Mr. Chairman. I heard firsthand from a mother talking to a daughter on the telephone with gunshot sounds in the background.
