At the same time I can well understand the concern of many of our constituents at a time when jobs in this country are not easy to find. I believe. however. if we can just review a few facts. most people will have their fears allayed. Approximately 150.000 Vietnamese and Cambodian refugees are expected to be coming to the United States. Of this number. some at least can be settled in other countries. Canada. Britain. and France have recently agreed to accept 1.000 each and other allied nations are expected to help. 60 percent of the refugees axe children and many of the others axe elderly. There are about 30.000 heads of household. Many of these have American relatives who are in a position to take care of them.
