The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these. the homeless. tempesttossed. to me: I lift my lamp beside the golden door. We are truly a Nation of immigrants and our 210.000.000 people comprise a varied mixture of ethnic backgrounds. People have been drawn to the United States from all corners of the world in the hope of achieving the goals that were so articulately enunciated by our forefathers in the Declaration of Independence and our Nations Constitution. Today the United States is blessed with a multiplicity of cultural inputs that make us a vital. vigorous. and growing Nation. able to meet and overcome the challenges that confront us. I believe that the soon to be VietnameseAmericans will be absorbed into the mainstream of American life with a minimum of difficulty and make a valuable contribution to our Nations future just as earlier groups of immigrants have done. In the midst of the controversy surrounding these refugees. I was pleased to receive a telephone call from Mr. Keith Smith. on behalf of some community leaders in Salisbury.
