Mr. Chairman. I rise in strong support of this bill to provide humanitarian assistance for resettlement of Indochinese refugees. We as a nation have always acted is a refue and a haven to those fleeing for a better life. It is not the time now to turn our backs on that tradition. As we consider this l. islation. I think it is also appropriate to consider some related matters which the bill does not address. but which are on the minds of many. There are questions that still need to be answered as to why the evacuation took place in such a disorganized manner. why . e waited so Iong. why American soldiers had to die.
