Mr. Speaker. I am bewildered and disappointed by the attitude some Americans are displaying toward the Vietnamese refugees. I cannot believe there are some who want to turn their backs on a people whose lands were stormed and their fields and villages bombed. and their spirit. economy. and social order destroyed. I cannot believe there are some who wish to close our doors to those people who stood beside us in a united commitment against tyranny and oppression. Our military obligation may be over but our responsibilities are not. True responsibility goes beyond guns and ammunition and planes. Our challenge calls us to extend a new chance. a new opportunity.
