Surely. in some respects. but it is also because too many of us view our country as the sole defender of freedom. as the last defender of freedom and too many of our leaders indulge in the paranoid bitter view of our country being the last one left to help people such as the South Vietnamese who want to leave. Is there an international mechanism CXXI712Part 9 available to help those people? Indeed. there is. I think the gentleman from Ohio on this side of the aisle raised that. There is an international mechanism and we cannot ignore that fact. Tomorrow I shall offer an amendment to require the President to use that mechanism. the United Nations and its Office of Migration and Refugee Affairs to bring about that evacuation. but even if that amendment is successful. I find it hard to believe there is any good reason to support this legislation.
