Mr. Chairman. I will be offering an amendment which is at the desk to basically strike section 4(d) of this act. I believe it is the one serious flaw in the bill. The committee chairman has spoken about the concern we all have for U.S. citizens in Vietnam and dependents and those who would have relationships that would enable them to emigrate to the United States. I share that concern. However. the majority leader spoke about this problem: How do we define those whose lives are threatened? Many people want out of Vietnam to come to the United States not because they are threatened but because they can have a better life here.
