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 present to the membership the second report on the status of this refugee situation. As of July 15. 1975. there have been 131.268 refugees interviewed for processing. Of this total number. 56.096 have now been released from the system which includes those released to U.S. sponsors and those sent to third countries. plus 60.612 are in the United States waiting to be released. In addition. 14.560 are still at overseas bases awaiting entry into the United States or are presently in transit.
