The bill sets a limit of 25.000 persons. including families of the leaders. who might be granted this asylum. Other bills introduced in Congress for ending the Vietnam conflict have contained broad provisions that asylum would be granted to any and all who might seek it. To me this openended arrangement is beyond our capacity to fulfill. It almost irresponsibly overlooks the logistics of.caring for every Vietnamese who might want to leave his country. The concluding provision of my bill would allow asylum for the aforesaid limited number of persons within the territory of the United States. notwithstanding any existing law which prohibits such immigration. Mr. Speaker.
