Mr. Speaker. within recent weeks we have seen the administration exort the Congress and the Nation. to provide great sums of money to meet the humanitarian needs of the war refugees and war orphans of South Vietnam. Members of the administration have even gone so far as to suggest that if the Congress did not answer these needs with millions of American dollars. then the Congress would be to blame for the tragedy that is occurring in South Vietnam. The administration exhibited a fine compassion for the victims of the long Vietnam war. I am hopeful that the administration will show the same compassion for the American victims of poverty and despair. by withdrawing in their 1976 budget all the budget cuts they project making in programs designed to serve the poor and disadvantaged.
