Mr. President. the debate regarding Americas newest immigrants and refugees is beginning to emerge into a rational discussion although some vocal critics are yet being heard. I want to praise again the posture of President Ford in addition to other responsible Americans in positions of influence and authority: President Meany of the AFLCIO Speaker ALBERT. Senator HUGH SCOTT. minority leader in the Senate. Senator CLAIBORNE PELL. who cosponsored legislation with me yesterday to provide humanitarian assistance for the refugees. Congressman UDALL. and other Members of the Congress and the public. who have spoken out responsibly on the issue. I am particularly proud of a voice of reason and moral awareness that has been heard from the editorial pages of many of our influential newspapers.
