Many organizations support the Rohrabacher resolution: the American Legion. the veterans groups. I urge my colleagues to please vote for it. So we should disapprove the JacksonVanik waiver at least until the government allows all the ROVReligible refugees to leave. And we should also stand up for the people who never left Viet Nam and are still trapped there. including longterm reeducation camp survivors and former U.S. government employees. Many of these people are members of the Montagnard ethnic minority who fought valiantly for the U.S. and have suffered greatly ever since. As of a few weeks ago. only 4 Montagnard applicantsout of over 800 we believe to be eligible for U.S. refugee programshave been cleared for refugee interviews. Finally. we must not forget the prisoners of conscience. Hanoi imprisons Catholic priests.
