Mr President. I am glad that the initial outburst against the entry of refugees from Indochina has subsided. Given the frustrations arising from inflation and unemployment in this country. such an outburst is not surprisIng. I believe that the overwhelming passage of Senate Resolution 148 welcoming these refugees to our shores is more indicative of the true sentiments of the great majority of Americans. Certainly my confidence on that score is resoundingly confirmed by the petition to the Congress from the American Immigration and Citizenship Conference signed by 50 leading volunteer agencies and labor groups urging assistance for this warvictimized group to meet. "a moral responsibility in keeping with our humanitarian tradition" I ask unanimous consent that this fine expression of dedication to basic American principles be printed in the RECORD following my remarks.
