The amendment involves the bills provision on "Indochina postwar reconstruction." I am offering this amendment because reports from the field. and the administrations foreign aid presentation to Congress. tell us once again that the President has failed to redirect or change. in any meaningful way. the basic character and purpose of our aid policies toward the countries of Indochina. The amendment is an effort to help remedy some serious shortcomings in the adminstrations proposal for Indochina. It is the result of extensive inquiry by the Subcommittee on Refugees. which I serve as chairman. and of discussions we have had in many quarters and with many experts in this country and overseas. The amendment continues and strengthens some initiatives taken by Congress last year. and reflects what I firmly believe broadly represents the will of the American people on the issue of future assistance to the countries of Indochina.
