Mr. Speaker. on the occasion of the 22d anniversary of Captive Nations Week. I believe that it is especially pertinent to direct special attention to the outstanding accomplishments of Bui Anh Tuan. who is the first Southeast Asian refugee to receive the George Washington Honor Medal by the Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge. Tuan. a Vietnameseborn journalist. was awarded the medal for his column entitled. "Four Years From Vietnam." His column gives Americans a better understanding of how refugees from Communist nations feel about the United States. I insert an article from the News World. of New York. which provides a commentary on Bul Anh Tuans background as a freelance writer. which is followed by Tuans stirring column. that was carried by several newspapers in May of 1979. It is reprinted below from the May 6 edition of the San Diego Union.
