Moreover. there are thousands of Americans who have served in Vietnam either as military or political advisers. These Americans are thoroughly familiar with the culture of Vietnam. and many of them even know the language well. There is even a good chance that many of the Vietnamese refugees who have already arrived are personally known to some of these advisers. If a simple system were set up so that the names of the refugees were put on a computer file. these former U.S. advisers could locate their old friends and perhaps sponsor them in their new life. No amount of Federal appropriations can take the place of a familiar face in the midst of tragedy. But if we go ahead and authorize some vast Federal expenditure. private efforts will be overwhelmed and go for naught.
