Extract

I return from Southeast Asia profoundly moved by the plight of the refugees with whom I helped members of the Citizens’ Commission on lndochinese Refugees communicate. As Americans, and as human beings, we must take positive actions to reflect our common humanity with the Vietnamese “boat people,” Cambodians, and Laotians and help nitigate their suffering. Members of the Citizens’ Commission, despite their divergent views on the war in Indochina, have concluded that U.S. Government policjrton opening America's doors to the refugees must reflect the urgency of the problem. I heartily concur.
