Refugee Program Memo, March 29, 1956

The memo discusses the progress of the Refugee Relief Act, which was enacted to assist refugees from overpopulated and war-affected countries, highlighting the need for additional sponsorships from American citizens to meet visa allocations. It emphasizes the challenges posed, including a lack of assurances from U.S. sponsors, and calls for increased support to help refugees secure jobs and housing, with the assistance of charitable organizations and state-level committees.
