I truly believe that these sentiments are representative of the overwhelming majority of Americans. I have been very heartened by the courage displayed on this issue by numerous elected officials. from the President down. And I was most gratified by the resolution passed yesterday by the executive committee of the AFLCIO. our Nations largest labor organization. which welcomed our newest immigrants and urged support of sufficient Federal funds to resettle them. I do not believe that our experience in Vietnam has so brutalized this Nation that we will turn our backs on this remnants of a long and tragic war. Instead. let us welcome the refugees and give them the opportunity to build new lives. They will help to strengthen our society much as the immigrants of yesterdayour forebearsdid.
