These measures will help provide refugees from wartorn and now Communistcontrolled lands of Southeast Asia with new hope and promiseopportunities for tomorrow given by descendants of those who were given the promise of America in yesteryears. As others held the doors of this new land open for our forebears. so too should we now hold those same doors open for these new immigrantsthese Americans of tomorrow. There are many reasons why we should undertake this specific endeavor. and I will comment upon them in one moment. But. first.
