Mr. Speaker. in keeping with my promise to the membership at the time the House approved $405 million to assist the South Vietnamese and Cambodian refugees. I am now ready to give the membership the first report. As of this date. there have been 130.677 refugees interviewed for processing. Of the total number. 27.033 have now been released to sponsors. 50.740 are in the United States waiting to be released to sponsors. An additional 51.314 are still at overseas bases awaiting entry into the United States. To date. the Government has obligated $62.350.000 out of the $405 million appropriated for this purpose.
