There were some who were doubtful. some uncertain. some who were hostile in their first statements. I do not believe that hostility reflected a broad view or a carefully thought out view. and I am confident that virtually all Americans. when they reflect upon our heritage and upon the principles of our country. will agree with the sense of this resolution when they have thought it through. I have no doubt about the welcome that America will provide to these refugees. I am delighted to yield to my colleague from Florida. who represents a State which. like California. has had previous experiences with refugees and which. again like California. will receive refu-" gees from Southeast Asia. I am delighted that he joined as a cosponsor of this resolution.
