My concern is that once the individuals are distributed. hopefully equitably. throughout the country. that there will. nevertheless. be costs which must be borne by our States and local communities. I think much of the concern that has been expressed by our constituents comes from their reluctance to bear any greater tax burden because of this national policy. I quite agree with this concern. My amendment merely makes it possible. in the event that there are funds left over in this particular provision after September 30. 1977. that these funds can continue to be used for the purposes of educational assistance to these refugees. It seems to me that this is absolutely essential. It is the kind of assurance that our school districts and our communities are demanding.
