Mr. Speaker. I. and many of my colleagues in the House. are continually concerned with the plight of refugees. Thousands of Indochinese refugees come to our country with hopes of finding good living conditions. something they dont have in their own country. Instead. they find high unemployment rates and a Federal Government which made a decision to allow them into this country but which recently cut back drastically on refugee assistance. This morning. the Washington Post carried an article describing the critical situation refugees face in the Pacific Northwest. I call this to the attention of all Members of Congress so they may better understand the pressing need for refugee aid. [From the Washington Post. June 8. 1982]
