Mr. Chairman. I rise in support of H.R. 6755. the bill before us today which would provide assistance to or in behalf of migrants and refugees from Southeast Asia who are being allowed Into this country under the administrations current refugee assistance program. The debate on whether or not these refugees ought to be allowed into this country is over. We must now concentrate our efforts on how best to assist these people settle in the United States. After all they are already here. Congress must relieve State and local governments of the financial burdens which these new arrivals in these communities will pose to the maximum extent possible.
