Second. Mr. Chairman. are old soldiers and religious refugees from places like Vietnam. These are the people who served years in reeducation camps for their proAmerican and prodemocracy activities. There are many thousands of them still in the pipeline. but the proposed refugee cap would effectively require that the Vietnamese refugee program be shut down. I have been to the camps in Southeast Asia and looked into the eyes of these people who fought with us in Vietnam. Yet. they are on line to be forcibly repatriated. minimally the cap keeps open that possibility of bringing them here or to some other country of asylum.
