Many of our colleagues here supported that war. and some even fought there. Those differences still have the power to divide this Nation. The mere suggestion that some may come from the northern part of Vietnam sill seems to have the power to suggest to some Members that these refugees will make war on us when they arrive here. I think that. regardless of the stand you took 25 years ago. if you ever cared about the people of Southeast Asia. of if you were moved to take a stand on either side because the preservation of fundamental American values was important to you. then you must help adopt the Smith amendment. I urge a yes vote on Smith and no vote on Bereuter.
