Had he not taken forthright action. more than 1.000 Americans could today be in Communist hands in South Vietnam. What would the Congress propose to do about that situation? We can applaud the President for his courageous decision and we can thank those brave Americans in uniform who performed magnificently and successfully in this crisis period. There can be no doubt now about the purpose of funds that would be authorized in this bill. There are many thousands of Vietnamese refugees who fled communism and who must have food and shelter. Let us not sit on our hands and find excuses for doing nothing while they starve. They cannot wait for Congress to work out details.
