Madam Speaker. I rise in support of Senate Concurrent Resolution 16. which would call on the Government of Vietnam to expedite the release and emigration of reeducation camp detainees. I commend Congressman WOLF for his leadership on this important issue. In October of last year. I held a hearing in San Francisco on the issue of Southeast Asian refugees and their reasons for leaving their homelands. At that hearing. the tragic reality of Vietnams reeducation camps became clear. Thousands of political prisoners. with varying degrees of opposition to government policies. continue to be held in this gulag of camps or prisons.
