I would also be remiss if I did not pay tribute to my good friend. the gentleman from New York [Mr. SOLARZl for again explaining the purpose of this bill very well. Mr. Speaker. I would like to express my strong support for this measure. It is a sad fact of our times that the flood of refugees from Indochina continues. Last year. over 50.000 Vietnamese took to the seas to join the 11/2 million Indochinese who have already fled. These people are fleeing the repression and lack of opportunity at home. and are willing to risk their lives in the hope of obtaining a better life elsewhere.
