Mr. Speaker. as a member of both the Foreign Affairs and Education and Labor Committees. I am deeply concerned about the uncertain congressional response to the plight of local communities when faced with a periodic new influx of refugees. Our local schools are among the institutions which are usually faced with the expense and the responsibility of these sudden unanticipated demands upon their services. I have seen time after time a mad scramble of legislative activity to create piecemeal education assistance programs to assist local schools to deal with situations quite beyond their own control and rational planning mechanisms. We all are sufficiently aware of the recent Indochinese.
