Mr. Speaker. I oppose the conference report on the Vietnam Humanitarian Assistance and Evacuation Act of 1975 because: First. We dont know how many Vietnamese are coming to the United States. how they will be settled. what impact they will have on the U.S. economy. how much assistance money is going to be required. who they are. We need full congressional hearingssimilar to our consideration of Cuban and Hungarian refugees problemsbefore we can vote in a responsible manner. Second. This conference report allows money for international organizations to aid Vietnamese war victims. Do we really want to let the United Nations go into Communistcontrolled South Vietnam and spend American money?
