Mr. Chairman. this amendment perfects the language of section 2104. which protects certain highrisk refugees from forced repatriation to Vietnam. Laos. and Cambodia. This bill. as it currently stands. contains important language that will prevent United States tax dollars from being spent for the forcible repatriation to Vietnam and Laos of people who fought side by side with American forces. Under current U.S. law. these people are refugees. and they are also our friends. They should not be forced back to the places where they were persecuted. but. at the very least. U.S. tax dollars should not be spent to force them back.
