With this legislation. we will be able to point to the numbersundeniable statisticsand refute the argument that nothing needs to be. or can be. done. Mr. Speaker. I can tell you quite confidently that Americans of Asian ncestry are deeply concerned that he violence that is occurring to us beause of our ethnic background is reaching alarming proportions in both requency and degree. Furthermore. ye are concerned that our Federal 3overnment is not vigorously enforcng the civil liberties we possess as citizens and residents of the United tates. Recently. we are also hearing of incidents of beatings and harassment of recent immigrants from Laos. Vietnam. Cambodia. the Philippines. and many other AsianPacific countries troubled by violence and unrest.
