TO-THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES:
p14
One of the gravest problems arising from the present world
p 2
crisis is created by the overpopulation in parts of Western Europe, aggra-
13
vated by the flight and expulsion of people from the oppressed countries
of Eastern Europe.
This problem is of great practical importance to us because it
affects the peace and security of the free world. It is also of great
concern to us, because of our long-established humanitarian traditions.
The Congress has recognized the importance of this problem and has already
enacted some legislation to help meet it. I ask the Congress to give early
and favorable consideration to additional Legislation to make more adequate
provision for meeting this situation.
Specifically, I ask the Congress to authorize a program that
will:
(1) Provide aid for the unfortunate victims of oppression who
are escaping from communist tyranny behind the Iron Curtain,
(2) Continue our participation in the international effort now
being made to assist in the migration and resettlement throughout the
world of a. substantial number of persons from the overpopulated areas of
Western Europe, and
ESICAOS us for
