Mr. Speaker. we have heard the figures given of the numbers of refugees we have accepted previously from other parts of the globe. Not in a single instance involving those refugees did we authorize the use of such force as might be judged to be necessary by the President of the United States. The gentleman from California stated that to save one marine ordered into combat would require the use of whatever force necessary. including the B52s. and back on the treadmill in South Vietnam. Remember. I say to those who have said we should be criticizing the North. we may well find that the first combat involving U.S. forces in order to evacuate is combat with South Vietnamese forces.
