Senator MANSFIELD. and the deputy majority leader. Senator BYRD of West Virginia. had in mind the possibility of offering on this bill. because it is very likely to be signed. a very urgent solution or a partial solution to an extremely urgent problem of the cities. major cities. in the country. which are letting employees in public services go wholesale because of economic stringency. in an effort. as it were. to abate that situation with some help in a rather interesting way that they had in mind from Congress. After considering the matter and considering the views of many of us on the committee. for the very reason of leaving this gesture by the United States toward the Vietnamese refugees as a single eloquent answer of the American people to the problem without even the most urgent matter being included in it. they are going to refrain from offering it on this bill. and offer it on another bill or on an appropriation bill. I have gotten their permission to state this. I think it is again a very highminded publicspirited attitude which should be appropriately noted by Congress and the country.
