Second. dependents of the U.S. citizens and of permanent residents of the United States. And third. Vietnam nationals eligible for immigration to the United States by reason of their relationship to U.S. citizens. It further provides assistance for South Vietnam nationals whose lives are endangered because of past affiliations. but it does so under the direction of those international agencies. as deemed appropriate by the President of the United States. It further directs the President to report to the Congress within 90 days of the enactment of this act: First. the amount of humanitarian assistance provided in this act. second. the expected recipients of such assistance. third. the names of all organizations and agencies involved in the distribution of such assistance. and fourth. the means by which such distribution is carried out. In other words. how much money. to whom. by whom. and the means by which it is carried out. This last provision is important for people of my State because responsible officials have been informed by Federal officials to prepare for a possible immigration of perhaps 600.000 to 1 million refugees. Most of these would enter through the ports of California. and most would probably stay in California. I am reading this from a quote made in a Los Angeles newspaper by Supervisor James Hayes. chairman of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. If this were true. that the number of refugees would be anywhere near this large. it could cause our States taxpayers billions of dollars. The final point is that. and this is most important. this substitute amendment sets the policy of getting us out of Vietnam in 10 days.
