I believe. also put the Congress on record as favoring the largescale. coordinated programs of economic and social construction that are so vital if the Vietnamese people are to be able to establish a viable and stable government of their own choosing. The Congress has been discussing U.S. policy in Vietnam only in a sporadic way. and I believe. focusing on transitory rather than basic issues. Debate should now center on two overriding points: First. the need for greater attention to the social and economic revolution in Vietnam and our identification with the aspirations of the Vietnamese people for economic and social construction. adequate care of the refugees and for a stable. responsive. and just government. and. second. the size and character of the total military effort in Vietnam and where it is taking us. We urge our colleagues to join us in making such a debate possible through consideration of the resolution we introduce today. We believe the more support the joint resolution has in the way of cosponsors. the more likely it will have the attention of the committee and assure debate on the floor of the Senate.
