Chairman. I am pleased to support the Long amendment to H.R. 4473. the foreign assistance appropriations bill for fiscal year 1980. This amendment will add $207.3 million to aid Indochinese refugees. It will finance the added costs of bringing an extra 7.000 refugees per monthup to 14.000into the United States. the airsea rescue proI gram for refugees recently ordered by President Carter. the U.S. contribution for an international refugee processing center. and increased contributions to the U.N. High Commission on Refugees. The human tragedy occurring in Southeast Asia cries out for action by the United States. Hundreds of thousands of people are being exiled. many are being sent to a certain death.
