Whereas in the past decade the world refugee population has more 
than doubled from 7,300,000 to 15,000,000; 
Whereas the United States has always played a leading role in 
refugee matters worldwide; 
Whereas the origins of the United States as a land of refuge for 
those escaping persecution and the development of the United 
States as a nation of immigrants gives the country a deep under-
standing of and sympathy for the plight of the 15,000,000 refugees 
in the world; 
Whereas refugees who have come to the United States have made 
significant contributions to the country; 
Whereas the United States consistently encourages other countries 
to expand efforts to help the needy population of refugees; 
Whereas the current world refugee situation requires that the 
United States continue to be a leader in refugee affairs: Now, 
therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives 
of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled, That— 
(1) October 30, 1990, is designated as "Refugee Day"; and
