Mr. President. the Senator from North Carolina is probably among the least affluent of the distinguished Members of this body. But the Senator from North Carolina pledges his personal check in the amount of $1.000 for the resettlement of the Vietnamese refugees. if a substantial percentage of the other Members of this body and of the House of Representatives will do the same. Thus in one stroke. over $500.000 in private funds could be subscribed. and I am confident that this goodfaith example given by the elected Members of Congress would stir an outpouring of sympathy that would double or even triple that amount in a matter of days.
