And we cannot simply forget that suffering. For the ledger of Vietnam will be part of this Nations history forever. We have the opportunity now to relieve a small part of that suffering. to make a positive. humane entry in that ledger. It is more than an opportunity. it is an obligation. a moral imperative. I am not blind to the fact that some of the refugees are those who helped corrupt their own society. There may be some who are undesirable additions to our own society. But the overwhelming majority are the middle classthe artisans. the scholars. technicians. minor officials. the women and children.
