And I have heard the arguments on the floor side and tried to listen to this very carefully. My only plea to you is to listen to the issue of what you should add to this bill. This amendment is a refugee impact statement. because every time someone throws themselves in with us and they fall. it is our duty and obligation to resettle them. That is what has happened to us. We have done it. Other countries help us. but we carry the main load. That is all I am saying. I ask my colleague from Virginia if he has considered that we have found always that our military assistance and our military involvement in the affairs of another country can result in some very serious obligations on the part of the United States to receive and resettle refugees from that particular country if that policy goes awry. And the pressures to do it are horrendous. Nearly 1 million Vietnamese have been resettled here in the United Statesgreat contributors to our country. I do not have a quibble about that. But domestic groups clamor and clamor about our responsibility and our obligations regarding the refugee flowstrong. powerful groups they are. Who does not oppose the Khmer Rouge? They are barbarians.
