Mr. President. on May 6 of this year I introduced. along with Senator CRANSTON. S. 1661a bill to amend the Migration and Refugee Assistance Act of 1962 to authorize resettlement assistance for Vietnamese and Cambodian refugees. In a floor statement subsequent to the introduction I expressed my concern that State and local governments in particular geographical areas of this country might be forced to bear a disproportionate share of an essentially Federal burden. Senator CRANSTON. too. expressed his concern in this regard. In response. we were both assured by Ambassador L. Dean Brown. the Indochina Task Force Director. that this would not be the case.
