President. one of the most tragic lessons of the Indochina war are the millions of disadvantaged childrenthe orphans. the maimed. the homelesswho have fallen as victims of continuing violence. As the Congress and the American people begin to assess or Nations role in a postwar Indochina. we must remember the faces of the children of Indochina. especially South Vietnam. and remember that we are still involved in their plight. To document the massive needs of the children. to assess what our Nation can do to help. the Judiciary Subcommittee on Refugees. which I serve as chairman. held a hearing last Friday on child welfare and orphan problems in Indochina. The subcommittee received the report of its recent Study Mission to Indochina on the crisis facing the children of the region. particularly in South Vietnam. The Study Mission made several very important and immediate recommendations on what our Government can do to help the children and orphans. and I believe they should be given serious consideration by the Congress and the executive branch.
