Both feel that the language of the House bill is sound as well as necessary. I hope that the Senate will act favorably on this legislation today so that the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission can commence its work soon. I know that the Commission is anxious and able to take on this task. We know the sad legacy of Vietnam. The suffering of countless refugees in Southeast Asia brings it all home once again. I do not pretend to address the role of Vietnam in this new tragedy. Rather. this legislation is merely a necessary step forward on the part of our Government to help our own citizens.
