Ford Damned Mad Over Opposition to Refugee Aid
President Ford blasted opposition to bringing Vietnamese refugees to the United States as he spoke after a GOP White House briefing. Senate GOP Leader Hugh Scott and Rep. Hamilton Fish Jr. said the plan would not cause severe economic impact and that 20,000 refugees have arrived with 100,000 at staging areas. Scott criticized Sen. George McGovern's stance, calling it a betrayal of liberalism. Ford seeks up to 150,000 Indochina refugees with a $507 million request amid congressional scrutiny.
