But in fact. many of us here have been trying to determine from the administration what kind of plan they have to bring Americans out of South Vietnam. how rapidly they are going to bring them out. and we can get no such plan. The only response that we do get is that if we bring them out too rapidly. panic willoccur in the streets of Saigon. Permit me to say that administration witnesses testified this morning before the Subcommittee on Refugees of the Committee on the Judiciary that we are now bringing out of South Vietnam with American airplanes some 5.000 South Vietnamese each day. The capacity and the plan is for the administration to move out 5.000 each day until they can no longer bring out South Vietnamese. We still have 1.357 American nationals in South Vietnam.
