Mr. Chairman. this is the amendment that I alluded to in our conversation on the $207 million addon for Vietnamese refugees. What I am attempting to do by this amendment is to make sure that no American tax dollar goes to Vietnam either directly or indirectly in the form of foreign aid. The Members might wonder why I am so concerned about this. We have talked about it so much. The World Bank last year approved a $60 million loan for Vietnam. and the American taxpayer is the largest contributor to that $60 million loan. There are five or six more loan applications for Vietnam pending before the World Bank.
