We either assist them now. or we allow these children and their parents to die without food. without shelter. and without hope. I could not believe more strongly that to deny them this compassion would be the final tragedy of Vietnam. a tragedy that would haunt both ourselves and our children. By refusing assistance we can only further the nightmare of despair that is. and will always be. symbolized by Vietnam. The assimilation of these Vietnamese refugees into our culture will not irrevocably harm our economy. Such fears are unnecessary. Those eligible for work represent less than onetenth of 1 percent of the labor force that is now unemployed.
