Mr. Speaker. what is the hurry on this conference report? Last week I voted for the House version of this legislation but that was under circumstances entirely different from those existing today. My concern then was primarily that of evacuating Americans and their dependents from South Vietnam and providing a measure of humanitarian assistance to the refugees and the people of South Vietnam. At that time there appeared to be an urgency which dictated emergency action. Time and circumstances have erased the emergency aspect of those deliberations. We now have the opportunity to act with greater deliberation and on the basis of facts.
