I rise in support of H.R. 8313. a bill which would extend for 2 years from June 30. 1971. to June 30. 1973. the authority of the Secretary of Health. Education. and Welfare to provide temporary assistance to citizens of the United States who are without resources and have returned or have been brought to this country from a foreign nation because they are destitute. ill. or because of war. invasion. or a similar crisis. U.S. citizens who become public charges in a foreign country are subject to deportation. This bill would continue the Secretarys authority to provide them temporary assistance in the form of financial assistance. reception. care. and transportation from the port of entry to their final destination as well as help in planning for resettlement. obtaining and using existing resources. and locating friends and relatives. H.R. 8313 also includes temporary assistance for U.S. citizens evacuated to the United States as a result of an international crisis and this authority was most effective in repatriating U.S. citizens from Cuba and the Dominican Republic.
