Mr. President. there has rightly been much written in recent days about the refugees from Indochina. and the desperate plight of the boat people. Against great odds. these refugees seek safe haven and a hope for a new life in a new land. Amidst the daily reports of the tragedies that all too often overtake the boat people. it is heartening to find a boat story with a happy endingsuch as that of Nguyen Van Tich. whose journey as a refugee finally took him to Boston this past weekend. where he had a joyful reunion with his family at Logan Airport. For Nguyen the road to Boston was a long and dangerous one. Over 4 months ago. he and 200 other Vietnamese refugees left on the high seas in a small 56foot craft. The third day out. the vessel was attacked by Thai pirates who robbed all on board and attempted to sabotage the boat. In the process.
