Our people are crying out for attention from their own Government they chose. It is our obligation to respond to their pleas for help. I had no say in the massive evacuation of 150.000 refugees from Vietnam. The Congress was not asked about the evacuation. It was an Executive decision not approved by Congress. Now when newspaper stories throughout the country say that the refugees are not being received with open arms. the Executive is reported to be "damn mad" about the attitude of the American people toward our fellow human beings from Indochina. I think the Congress ought to be "damn mad" about the fact that a major decision was made to bring in a massive number of people without consulting the Congress and without ever asking the attitude of the American people toward the concept. Americas compassion must now be exercised to its fullest toward these refugees who were victimized by an executive decision which failed to recognize the personal problems. attitudes.
