Mr. President. the Senate. with the gracious assistance of Chairman MAGNUSON and Senator SCHWEICKER. has agreed to my amendment for funding of Indochinese and other immigrants under the Adult Education Act. My amendment was lzased on the premise suggested by Senator BOSCHWITZ. to wit: that thousands of new refugees both children and adults will be entering the United States in the coming months. I concur that we must provide appropriate educational and social programs for these new Americans. and I hope that the Appropriations Committee will consider favorably a request for such assistance in an additional 1979 or 1980 supplemental appropriation.
