President. today the distinguished senior Senator from New York and I are submitting a concurrent resolution proclaiming October 15. 1993. as a day of recognition for the International Rescue Committee for its great humanitarian endeavors. I would like to take a moment to recount for my colleagues this organizations inspiring history. Let me add at the outset that I am not an unbiased observer. I worked for the IRC in Vienna during the Hungarian refugee crisis In 1956. I have been a vice president of the IRC and continue to serve on its board of directors. The IRC was founded In 1933. at the urging of Albert Einstein. in response to the rising threat of Nazism to the safety of its opponents in Germany.
