"I want to reassure you that the commitment of the United States to resolving the Indochinese refugee problem is as strong today as it has ever been: and second to urge all of you to reaffirm your own commitment to that same goal. For our part, we will continue to resettle refugees in substantial numbers. We will continue our financial and moral support of those organizations which provide protection and assistance to refugees and displaced persons in the region. We will encourage other countries to maintain their share of the resettlement effort as we work to find lasting solutions which will make resettlement itself less necessary. But, just as donor nations must reaffirm their commitment to humanitarian aid to refugees, first asylum states must reaffirm their commitment to humanitarian treatment of all seeking asylum."
I thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my views with
you today and look forward to benefitting from the conclusions of your deliberat ons.
