But good intentions. as we all know. pave a welltraveled road often leading in directions we might not otherwise take. In 1982. I began to receive information from Vietnamese refugees in the United States which pointed to the possible existence of a systematic program of economic exploitation directed against them by the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. I was told that the Vietnamese Government is taking advantage of the opportunity afforded by our foreign assets control regulations to pressure Vietnamese in the United States into directing payments abroad under a variety of pretexts. I was told that a circumstance of extreme character existed and strong action was therefore required.
