Speaker. some have suggested that maybe this would not work because it would require the active participation of the Government of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. and I understand that. But the point is that we need to make a gesture. set up some sort of system. which. if we do get their cooperation. will work. Right now. unfortunately. many of our Vietnamese members of the community throughout this country. those who are citizen and noncitizen alike who have fled tyranny in their home country. are being beset by requests for money. Money they know which can help their people and their relatives in their homeland. but they have to bring that money throurh a system which allows for fraud and abuse and is skimming both on this side of the ocean as well as the other. Certainly we ought to take some steps in this country to establish that system.
