I today offer legislation entitled the Vietnam Veterans Employment Act of 1975. which would authorize the creation of a $100 million public service jobs program for Vietnamera veterans. I introduce this legislation on behalfof myself and Senator DOLE. Senator DOLE and I introduced this legislation last week as an amendment to the bill authorizing resettlement aid to Southeastern Asian refugees. Because we did not want to slow the course of that important legislation. and because the Labor and Public Welfare Committee is holding heqrzngs on the publicservice jobs program this week. offering an opportunity for quick action on this proposal..we withdrew the bill as an amendment to S. 1661. the refugee aid bill. We are reintroducing this bill today. I had the opportunity to testify before the Employment and Poverty Subcommittee of the Labor and Public Welfare Committee earlier today.
