Speaker. since 1975 a group of approximately 123 Third Country Nationals (from Korea. India. the Philippines. and China) has resided on Guam as indefinite parolees. They came to Guam from Vietnam with the direct assistance of American forces. When they arrived in the territory. they had to begin new lives. but without the refugee status and attendant benefits accorded the tens of thousands of evacuees who were natives of Vietnam. Cambodia. and Laos. American law would have allowed our repatriating them only to Vietnam. the country from which they entered the United States. not to the home countries from which they had earlier migrated to Vietnam.
