"some sources"

edit
According to some sources, around forty Greek orphans emigrated to the United States in similar circumstances during this period.

Citing 'Extensions of Remarks', GPO, 29 March 1971, p. 8480, within this hundred-page PDF.

This reference seems meaningless. The hon. Roman C Pucinski goes on for what occupies several densely laid-out pages (which I confess I haven't read), and within this, on page 8480, merely cites Castanis as having said this. (It's in the paragraph starting "In the book", in the left-hand column.) Or do I misunderstand?

Fixed

Hi Hoary,

You do not misunderstand, this was a vague reference. I have fixed this up and expanded on the point by citing scholars who have worked on this. Hopefully this is clearer.

Best, Yiannic2020

Vagueness

edit

I have also fixed the vagueness of the references.
