President. I also commend the distinguished chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee and the distinguished ranking member as well for taking action on this very crucial legislation . S. 1668. which authorizes an additional $410 million in appropriations under the Migration and Refugee Assistance Act for fiscal year 1980 and 1981. provides the additional financial assistance that the United States has pledged to help refugees of Southeast Asia who are fleeing oppression. and who are making such a valiant effort to avoid the starvation * and war that have surrounded them in the last decade. As I have said many times before. America should be proud of its willingness to offer a helping hand to the less fortunate of the world. Our whole tradition has been helping others around the world. We are a great nation of refugeesindeed. no other nation in the world has refugees as such a basic part of its population. I would also like to commend the Senators from South Dakota for his contribution to this legislation on behalf of the starving people of Cambodia. Once again.
