I believe we have an ongoing moral obligation to provide a helping hand to children in Vietnam who were fathered by American civilian and military personnel during the Vietnam conflict. By their very birthright. these children are American citizens and are commonly called Amerasians. It is clear. Mr. Chairman. that the American people continue to accept their responsibility for these young people. and the U.S. Government has clearly stated its willingness to accept all Amerasian children and their families. Nonetheless. cooperation from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam has not been dependable and since January of last year. their cooperation on processing these children for emigration to the United States has been virtually nonexistent. Mr. Chairman.
