I do not think anyone has to take a back seat to the gentleman from Iowa. the gentleman from Florida. in their concern for either the piggishness of the Vietnamese Government or the problems that the boat people find themselves in. As a matter of fact. my niece is a Vietnamese. She came here in the last days before Vietnam fell at the end of the war. She got here because an official in Vietnam put my name on her tag. gave her physically to an Air Force pilot and he brought her out and delivered her. Today she is the adopted daughter of my brotherinlaw. Therefore. Mr. Chairman. I think I know something of the plight of the Vietnamese refugees. We are mighty glad to have her in the family. Let me say that is beside the question.
