JOHN RHODES on the floor this morning said that the arguments offered by Members in opposition to the legislation before us can be handled by the Appropriations Committee when the legislation comes before it after passage of this bill by the House. If that Is so. then it is clear we have the time to consider a new measure which will deal specifically with humanitarian aid for the purpose of assisting the South Vietnamese civilians and in particular those who now are dependent for their future on resettlement here in the United States. I will vote for such humanitarian assistance. because it is the decent thing to do and something that we owe the South Vietnamese refugees. For it was we who placed them in the catastrophic tragic position in which they now find themselves.
