While I realize that we are at war In Vietnam and that we must reduce spending on a Federal level. I also recognize that we are. In fact. spending hundreds of millions of dollars on refugee programs in foreign lands and in our own land for the victims of Communist aggression in Cuba. Certainly. we cannot do less for our own than we are doing for strangers. Certainly. within the sphere of fiscal responsibility. we must provide sufficient funds to aid the poor. to bring hope to the hopeless. and to minimize. if not completely eliminate. poverty in the United States.
