Mr. Speaker. I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker. the concurrent resolution before us calls for the resumption of the U.N.s High Commissioner for Refugees Orderly Departure Program for Vietnam. All of us must do all that we can to eliminate human suffering and misery here on this planet. The Refugees Orderly Departure Program for Vietnam answers a definite need. Now is the time to resume this important program. When it was in operation. the departure program enabled over 100.000 persons to leave Vietnam in a safe and secure way. Without this program. other Vietnamese who want to leave that country may risk their lives to seek a new life in another land.
