Mr. President. there is considerable opposition shaping up in this Nation toward the acceptance of Vietnamese refugees seeking asylum and a new life here. For many years we offered our blood and money to win the hearts and minds of the Vietnamese people. What a travesty it will be If we now turn our backs on the victims of that effort. and deny them the opporunity for freedom here when we gave so much to win it for them there. I have read several articles in the past few days on this problem. but no others so direct as one by syndicated columnist.
