I thank the Chair. Mr. President. I have studied with great care many of the statements now being made about the Vietnamese refugees who have come to the United States. I have noticed on the one hand. expressions of hostility. and on the other hand genuine declarations of sympathy and welcome. It will serve no purpose to refuse to understand the feelings of those who are reluctant to accept yet another alien cultural group into our midst. As generous as the American people are. there is obviously a growing belief that this Nation has experienced more and more social problems as a result of the meltingpot theory.
