Mr. Chairman. the point I am trying to make is this: My amendment simply provides that for the Indochinese refugees. all refugees. the cost of child care. the cost of cash and medical payments. shall be the burden of the Federal Government until September 30. 1981.

I submit that it is unfair to expect the local cities. the local counties and States. to pick up the cost of assimilating. training. and educating these refugees who are invited here as guests of the U.S. Government. until at least a few years have gone by and it is possible to find some way to work them into the economy. I have talked to some of my school people.
