Mr. Speaker. the South Vietnamese and Cambodian refugees face numerous problems. Of primary consideration is the matter of their becoming selfsufficient and productive members of our society. Another is that of sponsorshipthat is. someone to offer financial assistance. help in finding employment and be willing to guide the newcomer past the pitfalls present in adapting to a new and foreign society. And then there are the children. whose prospects for the future are clouded b.v doubt. insecurity and a sense of helplessness. Though the number of those volunteering sponsorship is still quite small. some praiseworthy Americans have stepped forward. offering to sponsor families or to assist the Vietnamese refugees however they can. Three news articles from the San Diego Union--one by Sports Editor Jack Murphy and another by staff writer Homer Clancetell of such efforts. and I include these reports in the RECORD: Iprom the San Diego Union.
