I have called up amendment No. 475 to S. 1661. on behalf of the junior Senator from California and myself. I would like to clarify the status of amendment No. 475 to provide additional employment assistance for Vietnam veterans under the CETA program. I recognize the plight of Vietnam refugees and the urgency of enacting this refugee bill. We have decided not to press this amendment if there can be some commitment on behalf of the distinguished Senator from New York and the distinguished Senator from New Jersey that this amendment will be considered in hearings which. I understand. will be conducted before the Committee on Labor and Public Welfare some time next week or soon thereafter.
