President. I would hope we might view the Agencys efforts in their proper perspective. As we conduct our hearings and hold our sessions with senior members of the executive branch who are involved In dealing with the refugee effort. it might behoove us to look at these people and pause for reflection. These individuals are really many individuals. the person who mans the telephone bank at AID listening to the concerned voices of our constituents wondering what they can do to help. the person who has worked day after day. 18 hours a day. requesting. supplying the necessary information to Government agencies. the Congress. and to U.S. citizens in the field who are working to meet the refugee needs. the person in the field. whether an AID employee or the member of a private voluntary organization. who have to make that critical determination of what and how much is needed for an ever increasing number of refugees. It is easy to criticize when one does not have to shoulder these responsibilities. I for one believe AID deserves our appreciation for a job which is being done very well under very difficult and trying circumstances.
