Mr. Chairman. there is something interesting in todays paper with respect to that. that is what the Attorney General told Chairman JAMES EASTLAND that he has authorized entry into the United States of up to 50.000 "high risk" Vietnamese refugees and their families. including past and present U.S. Government employees. Vietnamese officials. "whose cooperation is necessary for the evacuation of American citizens." that the administration has been reluctant to initiate a massive evacuation of South Vietnamese "without the assurance that those so assisted could. if necessary. be admitted to the United States." So that we are here dealing with a whole discussion about using the military to evacuate the South Vietnamese. The Attorney General Is talking about bringing in 130.000 at least and he wants to be sure we are prepared to receive these South Vietnamese in the United States. even though the United States hopes the burden can be shared with other nations.
